Testimonials

 5/5

Great and quick communication. Clean and professional work. Had an outdoor tap fitted for the garden. Responses to the enquiry and further communication was quick and helpful. Arrived on time and the job was done friendly and professionally. Would very much recommend Steve from HouseWarm.

This guy is a consummate professional and straight down the line. Got told my boiler was knackered and needed upgrading, I wanted one last roll of the dice to make certain. Good job I did. From what was meant to be kaput, he got it working like it was new again. I couldn’t recommend this guy highly enough.

I had Steven visit today to service my boiler, absolutely fantastic, efficient and even helped me diagnose a couple of other niggling issues without any further charge. I would highly recommend if anyone is looking for a reliable, knowledgeable and skilled plumber.

I contacted Steven and he came around first thing the following day and sorted the problem promptly, clearly explaining the issue, the work required and his fee. He was very courteous and left no mess. I will use Steven again and recommend him to anyone who needs a plumber/heating engineer.

Very quick response to my email enquiry, then the two radiators were replaced within days. They looked great and the work was undertaken with care. I would highly recommend and would definitely use the company again if I had any plumbing or heating needs.

Contacted Steven via email about a leak we had on our toilet. Had a prompt reply and arranged a date/time to visit. He arrived on time, managed to fix the issue within a couple of hours and left everything clean and tidy. Very professional and would highly recommend. Many thanks.

I had been having problems with my toilet flushing for over 2 years of living in my flat, I have had other plumbers look at it but was told to replace the full toilet which I could not afford. Steve came out the same day and replaced a valve in less than an hour which has got the toilet working like new, full flush every time 🙂

FAQs

What happens if a property fails the gas safety check?

If there are any safety issues classed as At Risk (AR) that could cause a danger to life or property, the gas appliance (with permission) will be turned off until the safety problem has been fixed.

If there are any safety classed as Immediately Dangerous (ID) that is considered an immediate danger to life and property, the appliance (with permission) will be disconnected until it has been fixed. If no permission is given then the gas engineer will report the situation to the Gas Emergency Service Provider (ESP), which has legal powers to disconnect the gas supply and make the situation safe.

More info from the Gas Safe Register here.

How often is a gas safety certificate required?

Landlords are required to have a gas safety certificate renewed annually. This ensures that gas appliances in rental properties are safe for tenants.

They can be carried out up to 60 days before the due date and you can keep the previous due date for the next one, but you can not be a day late.

Are carbon monoxide and smoke alarms needed?

Yes, the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations state you must have a carbon monoxide alarm in the same room as every gas appliance, not including gas cooking appliances.

You must also have a smoke alarm on every floor of the property.

How long does a gas safety inspection take?

A gas safety inspection typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the amount of gas appliances being checked, and whether there are any problems or not.

Do tenants receive a copy of the gas safety certificate?

Yes, landlords must provide tenants with a copy of the gas safety certificate within 28 days of the inspection.

HouseWarm will email the tenant a copy of the certificate as well as the landlord after every inspection.
