The CP12, commonly known as the Gas Safety Certificate, is a report that a Gas Safe registered engineer must complete annually. This certificate verifies that all gas appliances, pipes, and flues in your property are safe and meet legal standards. It is mandatory for all rental properties with gas installations.

It’s not recommended to attempt to fix your boiler yourself. Boilers are complex systems, and attempting to fix them without the proper training can be dangerous. Always call a qualified professional if you’re experiencing issues with your boiler.

If you don't service your boiler, it may become less efficient. A lack of maintenance can also increase the likelihood of breakdowns and expensive repairs. Boiler Guarantees can become void. It may also become unsafe, as faults can go undetected and lead to gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning.

A qualified electrician who has specific training and certification in EV charger installation, such as the City & Guilds 2919, is required to install an EV charger in the UK. This ensures the installation is safe and compliant with UK electrical regulations.

It's recommended to obtain multiple quotes and check online reviews or references for potential installers. Choosing an installer recommended by your charger's manufacturer can also ensure compatibility and adherence to warranty conditions.

The installation time can vary depending on the availability of the installation engineer and the complexity of the installation. Typically, it takes around 1-2 hours to install a smart meter.

There might be severe repercussions. You (and your agent, if you have one) might be charged under the Gas Safety Regulations and receive a fine of up to £6,000 or spend up to six months in jail.

Using an engineer who is not Gas Safe registered to work on gas appliances is illegal and can be extremely dangerous. It puts tenants at risk of gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and explosions. Additionally, it can lead to significant legal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, if an incident occurs due to improper work.

There is no specific "Fire Safety Certificate" for dwellings, but landlords must ensure that all properties meet required fire safety standards. This includes installing smoke alarms on every floor and carbon monoxide alarms in rooms with a usable fireplace or wood burner.

The Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses all electrical installations in your property to ensure they are safe and up to standard. Landlords must have a valid EICR for their properties, which must be renewed every five years.

The length of time it takes to repair a gas boiler can vary depending on the severity of the issue. However, most repairs can be completed within a few hours to a day.

Warranties for solar panels and their components can vary; panels usually come with a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects and performance guarantees, while inverters typically have a 5-10 year warranty. Labour might be covered for shorter periods, so check with your installer.

Non-compliance can result in significant fines, penalties, or even imprisonment for the most serious breaches. It can also invalidate your landlord insurance and expose you to legal claims from tenants.

Yes, you can switch energy suppliers even if you have a smart meter. Your new supplier should be able to use the same smart meter to measure your energy usage.

While there is no legal requirement to have your boiler serviced annually, it is recommended by most manufacturers and boiler engineers to ensure that your boiler is operating safely and efficiently.

While any qualified electrician can technically perform PAT testing, it is advisable to use an electrician who has specific training and equipment for PAT testing. Certifications in PAT testing, such as the City & Guilds 2377, indicate that the electrician has received training focused on the specific requirements and procedures of PAT testing.

Smart meters are usually provided to customers at no extra cost. However, you should check with your energy supplier to see if there are any charges associated with getting a smart meter.

A smart meter is a digital energy meter that measures your electricity or gas usage in real-time and sends that information to your energy supplier automatically.

You will receive the certificate via email from our certified engineer when the inspection is finished. This is typically within 48 hours (longer if done on the weekend). Depending on the scheduling and availability, we can examine the same day. Please note, there might be a small charge if we have to expedite outside of our normal procedures.
