How do I check if my gas engineer is Gas Safe registered?

You can verify any gas engineer's registration on the Gas Safe Register website or by calling 0800 408 5500. Our registration is always current and can be checked using our Gas Safe ID card number. Never let anyone work on your gas appliances without checking their credentials first.

How much does a gas engineer cost in Bolton?

Standard gas work starts from £60 for minor repairs. Boiler services are typically £70-£90. Landlord CP12 certificates start from £60 for a single appliance. We always provide a fixed quote before starting, and there are no call-out charges.

Do landlords legally need a gas safety certificate?

Yes. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must have all gas appliances, fittings, and flues checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Failure to comply can result in unlimited fines, imprisonment, and invalidation of your property insurance.

Can you install a gas cooker?

Yes. We connect all types of gas cookers, hobs, and ovens. Every installation includes a gas tightness test, flame supervision device check, and safety verification. We can also extend or modify the gas supply if the appliance is in a new location.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Open windows, don't use any electrical switches, don't light matches, and leave the property immediately. Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Once the area is made safe, call us to inspect and repair the source of the leak.

How often should my boiler be serviced?

Annually. An annual service keeps your boiler running efficiently, extends its lifespan by years, and ensures it's operating safely. Most manufacturer warranties require annual servicing to remain valid. We can set up an annual reminder for you.

Do you provide emergency gas engineer callouts?

Yes. If you have a gas emergency — suspected leak, boiler breakdown in winter, or no heating with vulnerable people in the property — we provide priority emergency callouts across Bolton and Manchester.

Can you move my gas meter or gas supply?

Gas meter relocations are handled by your gas distribution network (e.g., Cadent). However, we can modify and extend all downstream gas pipework from the meter to your appliances. We can advise on the full process if you need a meter move.

What areas do you cover as a gas engineer?

We cover Bolton, Manchester, Bury, Blackburn, Chorley, Wigan, Preston, Salford, Darwen, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Warrington, Chester, and Leigh.

Is your gas work guaranteed?

Yes. All gas work comes with our workmanship guarantee. Boiler installations carry manufacturer warranties of up to 12 years. If anything we've fitted or repaired develops a fault, we return and resolve it at no additional cost.

Why Gas Safety Should Never Be Compromised

Faulty gas appliances kill. Carbon monoxide poisoning from poorly maintained or incorrectly installed gas appliances is responsible for around 50 deaths and 4,000 hospitalisations every year in the UK. It's colourless and odourless — you won't know it's happening until it's too late.

Using an unregistered gas fitter is illegal and extremely dangerous. Poor gas connections, incorrect flue installations, and badly serviced boilers can all leak carbon monoxide or cause gas explosions. There are no second chances with gas safety.

Carbon monoxide from faulty boilers or fires can be fatal — symptoms mimic flu and are often missed
Incorrectly installed gas pipework can leak, creating explosion risk in your home
Landlords who fail to provide annual CP12 certificates face unlimited fines and criminal prosecution
Unregistered gas work invalidates your home insurance — any claim will be rejected
A poorly serviced boiler burns more gas, costing you hundreds extra per year in wasted energy

Complete Gas Engineering Services

Boiler Installation & Replacement

We install all major boiler brands including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, and Viessmann. Every installation includes a full system assessment, correct sizing calculation, and consideration of your home's heating demands. We fit system, combi, and regular boilers, and can advise on which type best suits your property. All installations include a manufacturer warranty of up to 12 years and our own workmanship guarantee.

Gas Safety Certificates (CP12)

Landlords are legally required to have all gas appliances checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We issue CP12 certificates on completion, covering boilers, gas fires, gas cookers, and any other gas-burning appliance. We can set up annual reminders to ensure you never miss a renewal. Certificates are stored digitally and can be reissued if needed.

Gas Cooker & Hob Installations

We connect and install freestanding cookers, built-in ovens, gas hobs, and range cookers. Each installation includes gas tightness testing, flame supervision device checks, and verification that the appliance is operating safely. We can also extend or modify gas pipework to accommodate a new appliance location.

Gas Fire Servicing & Installation

Gas fires require annual servicing to remain safe and efficient. We service, repair, and install all types of gas fires including inset, outset, balanced flue, and decorative fuel-effect fires. Servicing includes cleaning the burner, checking the flue, testing the flame supervision device, and verifying carbon monoxide levels.

Gas Pipe Installation & Modification

Whether you need a new gas supply run for a relocated boiler or additional gas points for new appliances, we install gas pipework to current Gas Safe and Building Regulation standards. All pipework is pressure-tested and leak-checked before commissioning. We use copper pipe with compression or capillary fittings and ensure all joints are accessible for future inspection.

Carbon Monoxide Safety

We strongly recommend CO alarms in every room with a gas appliance. During every visit, we check for signs of incomplete combustion, poor ventilation, and flue defects. If we identify a dangerous situation, we follow the Gas Safe 'At Risk' or 'Immediately Dangerous' procedure to protect you and your family. We can supply and fit audible CO alarms that comply with BS EN 50291.

Commercial Gas Work

We service small commercial premises including restaurants, cafés, and retail units. Commercial gas work requires specific qualifications — we hold the COCN1 and CODNCO1 categories for commercial catering and non-domestic installations. All commercial work is certificated and compliant with Gas Safe commercial regulations.
