Testimonials

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 a gas appliance is deemed At Risk (AR) due to a safety issue, it will be switched off (with permission) until the problem is fixed.

If an appliance is classed as Immediately Dangerous (ID) and poses an immediate threat, it must be disconnected. If the property owner refuses, the gas engineer is required to report it to the Gas Emergency Service Provider (ESP), who has the legal authority to disconnect the gas supply for safety.

More info from the Gas Safe Register here.

How often is a gas safety certificate required?

Landlords must renew a gas safety certificate every year to ensure that gas appliances in rental properties are safe for tenants.

The check can be done up to 60 days before the due date, allowing the renewal to maintain the same date each year. However, if the certificate expires, even by one day, the landlord will be in breach of regulations.

Are carbon monoxide and smoke alarms required?

Yes, the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations require a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a gas appliance, except gas cookers.

A smoke alarm must also be installed on every floor of the property.

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 a copy to both the tenant and landlord after every inspection.
