Landlord Gas Safety Certificates in Ince-In-Makerfield, Wigan

Did you know that as a landlord, you have a legal 'Duty of Care' to ensure all gas appliances in your property are safe? Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, you're required to have an annual inspection carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This results in what most people call a CP12 certificate. It's not just a piece of paper; it's proof that you've done your due diligence. If you're found without one, the fines can be hefty, and more importantly, you're putting your tenants at risk. We're Gas Safe registered (967977), meaning we’re fully authorised to carry out these vital inspections and give you total peace of mind that your property is compliant and safe.

We don't just give the boiler a quick glance and sign a form. Our team performs a rigorous series of tests to make sure every appliance is operating perfectly. We'll start with a 'tightness test' on your gas pipework to ensure there aren't any hidden leaks. We also check the 'burner pressure' and 'gas rate' to make sure appliances aren't burning too much fuel or running dangerously high. Then there’s the 'flue flow test' and 'spillage test'—these are crucial for making sure dangerous combustion gases, like carbon monoxide, are being whisked away safely outside rather than lingering in the living room. It’s a comprehensive look under the bonnet of your property’s gas system.

No one likes waiting around for paperwork, especially if you have a new tenancy starting tomorrow. That’s why we’ve modernised our process. Once we’ve finished the inspection in your Ince-In-Makerfield home, we’ll generate a digital PDF certificate and send it straight to your phone or computer. You can easily forward it to your tenants or your letting agent without ever needing a printer. Plus, we keep a digital backup for you, so if you ever lose your copy, we can resend it in seconds. To add an extra layer of security, we carry £10 million in public liability insurance, so you know you're dealing with a professional outfit that takes its responsibilities seriously.

We've been helping landlords throughout Ince-In-Makerfield and the wider Wigan area for years. We know that sometimes getting access to a property can be a bit of a headache. Most landlords we speak to tell us they appreciate how we can liaise directly with tenants to find a convenient slot, saving you a job. We're reliable, we show up when we say we will, and we won't leave a mess behind. If we do find a problem—like a boiler that needs a quick repair or an appliance that isn't quite G3 compliant—we'll explain the issue clearly without the jargon and provide a fair quote to get it sorted then and there.
