Landlord Gas Safety Certificates in Bury, Bury

Most homeowners we speak to in Bury know they need a gas check, but do you know exactly what the law requires? Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, you have a strict duty of care. This means you must have every gas appliance, flue, and pipework system checked every 12 months by a qualified professional. This isn't just for boilers either; it includes gas fires and cookers too. Once we have completed our checks, we issue the official Landlord Gas Safety Record, or CP12. You will need to give a copy of this to your tenants within 28 days of the check, or immediately if new tenants are moving in. If you are ever unsure about your responsibilities, just give us a shout on 01925 597837. We are always happy to chat through the requirements over the phone to make sure you are fully covered and avoiding those heavy fines for non-compliance.

You might be wondering what we actually do when we turn up at your property. We don't just walk in, glance at the boiler, and sign a piece of paper. A Redorr inspection is a comprehensive safety audit. We start with a Tightness Test on the whole system to make sure there are no hidden gas leaks in the pipework. Then, we move on to each appliance. We will check the Burner Pressure and Gas Rate to ensure everything is burning fuel at the correct level. We also perform a Flue Flow Test and a Spillage Test; these are vital for making sure dangerous combustion products, like carbon monoxide, are leaving the building safely rather than leaking back into the room. It is a meticulous process, but it is the only way to guarantee peace of mind for you and your tenants.

We know that trust is everything when you are letting someone into your rental property. That is why we pride ourselves on being completely transparent. There are no hidden fees or 'extra' costs added on at the last minute. When you book a CP12 inspection with us in Bury, you get a professional service backed by  million in public liability insurance. We also understand that paperwork can be a nightmare to track, so we provide digital certificates. As soon as the inspection is finished and passed, we will send a PDF copy straight to your inbox. It makes it much easier to forward on to letting agents or save in your own digital files. Need a repair while we are there? We can often sort out minor issues on the spot to save you the cost of a second call-out fee.

Imagine you have just had your CP12 done, only for the boiler to pack up two months later during a cold snap. It is a common headache for landlords. That is why we always suggest combining your Landlord Gas Safety Certificate with a full boiler service. While the CP12 is a safety check, a service is about the health and efficiency of the unit. We will clean out the internal components, check for wear and tear, and make sure it is running as efficiently as possible. Not only does this keep your tenants warm, but it also helps prevent those expensive emergency repair bills down the line. We can handle everything from /boiler-repairs-and-servicing to /gas-appliance-servicing-and-repairs in one visit, saving you time and money.
