Landlord Gas Safety Certificates in Poynton, Cheshire East

Have you ever wondered what actually goes into a CP12 inspection? It's a lot more than just making sure the boiler turns on. Our Gas Safe registered engineers (967977) carry out a thorough examination of the entire gas system. We perform a tightness test to ensure there aren't any tiny leaks hiding in the pipework and a flue flow test to confirm that dangerous combustion gases are exiting the property exactly as they should. We also check the burner pressure and gas rate to make sure everything is burning efficiently. If we find something that isn't quite right, we won't just leave you with a 'fail'—we’ll explain exactly what the issue is and how we can fix it to get your certificate issued as quickly as possible.

We know how it goes—sometimes you need that certificate yesterday, especially if a new tenancy is about to start. That’s why we’ve ditched the messy carbon-copy pads for a fully digital system. Once our engineer finishes the inspection at your Poynton property, we can generate a professional PDF certificate and send it straight to you or your letting agent. No more waiting for things to arrive in the post or losing important documents in a drawer. These digital records are easy to store, easy to share with tenants, and perfect for your own audit trail. It’s just one of the ways we try to make life a little easier for busy property owners in the North West.

Most landlords we speak to find it's a bit of a no-brainer to have the boiler serviced at the same time as the annual gas inspection. While the CP12 is a legal safety check, a full boiler service actually looks at the health and longevity of the appliance. Think of it like an MOT versus a full car service. By doing both at once, you’re not only ensuring your property is legal, but you’re also reducing the chances of those dreaded 'no heating' calls in the middle of a Cheshire winter. We're also fully insured with £10 million in public liability cover, so whether we're working in a small flat or a large commercial unit, you’re completely covered.

We get asked a lot of questions about the finer details of gas safety. For instance, did you know that even if your tenant has brought their own gas cooker, it's still your responsibility to ensure the pipework leading to it is safe? We often get asked how long an inspection takes—usually, it’s about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how many appliances you have. Another common one is: 'How often do I need this?' The answer is every 12 months, without fail.
