Landlords Gas Safe Certificate

Landlords Gas Safety Certificate England – (CP12)

A Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is the Certificate issued after a property has a Gas Safety Inspection to indicate that the property is gas safe. As a Landlord, it is your legal responsibility to ensure the safety of your property and the tenants who live there. The Landlord Gas Safety Certificate is a requirement by law and legally required to be renewed annually. A Gas Safety Inspection is only one aspect of the overall safety of your property and its tenants but it’s a very important one. As a landlord, you are responsible for a valid and current Gas Safety Certificate and will need to use a Gas Safe Registered heating engineer in order to legally carry out the necessary checks.

Why Do I Need A Landlord Gas Safety Certificate

As an Evesham based Landlord you are legally responsible for the safety of your property and the tenants who live there.
A Landlord Gas Safety Certificate MUST be carried out annually in order for the premises to be deemed Gas Safe. Without this, your property CANNOT be Let Out.
There is NO GRACE PERIOD with a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate so if it is not issued then your property is not safe to Let Out and you are legally not allowed tenants in the property until the Landlord Gas Safety Certificate is issued.

Power Flushing

Symptoms That I Need a Power Flush

• Cold areas on radiators can be a sign of needing a Power Flush, especially if the cold areas are at the bottom or middle of the radiator.
• Increasing Fuel Bills Due to Reduced Efficiency of Boiler and Radiators with Sludge Build Up.
• A Noisy Pump or Central Heating System.
• Kettling/Banging Sounds From Boiler. The stuff of scary movies except this is real life!!! You don’t want to hear your Boiler banging. Annoying and potentially expensive to repair or replace. The Stuff of Real Horror Stories…..
• Black/Brown Sludge Coming From Radiators When Bled.
• Repeated Pump Failures. If you have had to repair or replace a boiler pump on more than one occasion, the chances are high that you need a Power Flush to get rid of the sludge in your system.

When you begin to notice any of these symptoms, it is a good idea to call in the professionals to get a Power Flush done as the longer you leave it the more damage which can be caused to your boilers and radiators causing potentially even more expensive problems to repair or replace. Also, your increasing heating bills will mean that it is costing you even more money to not get a Power Flush.

Advice

Burst & leaking pipes can catch all of us unaware at anytime, it could be a frozen or damaged pipe or even a leaking connection or tap. Don’t worry you can always rely on us to fix your problem the same day.

The most important thing in all emergencies is to stay calm and not to panic.

Dealing with a frozen pipe
1. Turn off your main water supply which can be found under the kitchen sink or at the bottom or your garden entrance under a cover
2. If the frozen pipe is not controlled by a valve and is running from a storage cistern, check that it hasn’t split.
3. If the pipe has split, empty the cistern by turning on the bathroom taps and flushing the toilet or by siphoning the water out of the cistern with a hose.
4. Then call Fixed Priced Plumbing.
5. If the pipe has not split, you will be able to try warm up the pipe by using hot water bottles or an electric hairdryer.

Dealing with a burst pipe/leaking pipe
1. If the leak is coming from a Toilet, Tap or washing machine there may be an isolation valve that can be turned off either by hand or using a screwdriver. I there is no isolation valve turn off the stop-cocks (stop valves) one by one to isolate the leak. The stop cock can usually be found under the kitchen sink or at the bottom or your garden entrance (pathways under a cover marked water) Stop valves/gate valves can usually be located in the airing cupboard.
2. If the valves are stiff and won’t turn off in the airing cupboard the storage tank in the loft and water system can be drained down by turning on the bathroom taps (this is provided that the main stop cock is turned off)
4. Call Fixed Priced Plumbing
5. If you have had wires exposed to the water make sure that you get a recommended electrician to fix it for you

Boiler Installation

When you are getting a new Boiler Installation, we will discuss your needs and wishes regarding your new boiler. Sometimes if you know what you need, this can be done over the phone. Other times you may want a qualified Heating Engineer to visit you and survey the site. Questions we would ask you or that the Boiler Engineer would look for while on site would be as follows:-

• Is this to replace as existing boiler?
• Is this a first time Boiler Installation?
• Do you have a gas supply or do you want an electric, oil or solar boiler?
• Do you want a Combi Boiler, Traditional Boiler, System Boiler, Condensing Boiler etc
• Is your gas supply adequate to supply the needs of your boiler and your household?
• Where is Your Boiler Currently Positioned (If Replacing a Boiler)?
• Where is Your Flue?
• How many people are in your household?
• How much water do you use (at the same time)?

From here, we can get an overall picture about your needs for your property.
We would then give you some options about which boiler types are available to you and what are your best options. For example, you wouldn’t need a 40Kw boiler to heat a 1 bedroom flat when a 25Kw would be more than adequate. Also, some boiler brands demand certain requirements such as 22mm gas piping or the boiler cannot be situated in a wet room.
Once all your options are available to you, we will give you a Fixed Price Boiler Installation Quote.
