Know the signs

When you need gas engineer

How it works

What actually happens

1

Check the register

Every engineer carries a Gas Safe ID card with a licence number and the exact work they are qualified for. Check it, on any engineer.

2

Inspection

Appliance, flue, ventilation and pipework, checked against the current gas safety regulations.

3

Test

A tightness test on the installation and a combustion test on the appliance.

4

Certificate

You get the documentation, a CP12 for a landlord check, or a service record.

How long it takes. A single appliance gas safety check is usually under an hour. A landlord certificate on a property with a boiler, a fire and a cooker takes longer.
The price

What is included, and what changes it

Included in your fixed price

  • Gas Safe registered engineer, ID card shown
  • Tightness test on the gas installation
  • Combustion testing on the appliance
  • The certificate or record you need

What changes the price

  • How many gas appliances are being checked
  • Whether it is a check only, or a check plus a service
  • Access to the meter and the appliances
  • Whether any remedial work is found
We do not publish a headline price for gas engineer, it would be a guess. You get a fixed price after we have seen the job, and that is the price you pay.
Worth knowing

Landlords: what the law actually requires

If you let a property in England with gas appliances, these are not optional. Getting this wrong is a criminal offence, not a paperwork slip.

An annual gas safety check
Every gas appliance and flue in the property must be checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months.
The CP12 certificate
You must give a copy of the Landlord Gas Safety Record to existing tenants within 28 days of the check, and to any new tenant before they move in.
Keep the records
You must keep copies for at least 2 years.
Carbon monoxide alarms
A CO alarm is required in any room used as living accommodation that contains a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers), and must be repaired or replaced when reported faulty.
Maintenance is separate
A safety check is not the same as a service. The law also requires appliances and flues to be maintained in a safe condition.
A safety check confirms an appliance is safe on the day. A service cleans and maintains it. Many landlords buy the check and assume they have had a service, they have not. We will tell you clearly which you are getting.

Covering Bolton

Bolton mixes stone terraces with newer estates, and the boiler needs sizing to the house rather than guessed at. We cover Horwich, Farnworth, Westhoughton, Little Lever and the wider BL1 to BL7 postcodes.

Bolton runs from solid stone terraces through to modern estates in Horwich and Westhoughton. The older stone properties are typically harder to heat, with more radiators and higher heat loss, so boiler sizing matters more here than it does on a new build. Fitting an undersized combi into a big old terrace is a common and expensive mistake.

Questions

Gas Engineer in Bolton, answered

Do you cover Bolton?

Yes. Nelson Plumbing & Heating Ltd covers Bolton and the surrounding areas, including Horwich, Farnworth, Westhoughton, for gas engineer and all other plumbing, heating and gas work. We are a Salford based company (M3 6GB) with Gas Safe registered engineers working right across Greater Manchester. Bolton mixes stone terraces with newer estates, and the boiler needs sizing to the house rather than guessed at. If you are not sure whether your postcode (BL1 to BL7) is covered, call the team on 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk and we will confirm straight away.

Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?

Yes. Every gas job Nelson Plumbing & Heating carries out in Bolton is completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Gas Safe registration is a legal requirement for anyone working on gas appliances in the UK, and it means the engineer has been assessed as competent on the specific type of work they are doing. You are welcome to ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card when they arrive, and you should ask that of any engineer who comes to your home. The card shows a licence number and the exact categories of work they are qualified for.

How much does gas engineer cost in Bolton?

The honest answer is that it depends on the job, and any company that gives you a firm price over the phone without seeing it is guessing. What changes the price for gas engineer is mainly: how many gas appliances are being checked; whether it is a check only, or a check plus a service; access to the meter and the appliances. What we do instead is give you a fixed price before any work starts, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay. As one customer put it: "the job was exactly how much they quoted for, no scary surprises." For a free, no obligation quote in Bolton, call 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk.

How long does gas engineer take?

A single appliance gas safety check is usually under an hour. A landlord certificate on a property with a boiler, a fire and a cooker takes longer. Every job is different, so when we quote for gas engineer in Bolton we will also tell you realistically how long we will be, and whether we need more than one visit. We would rather tell you honestly up front than turn up and disappear halfway through.

How quickly can you get to me in Bolton?

Nelson Plumbing & Heating works out of Salford, so most of Bolton is a short run for our engineers. For genuine emergencies, a burst pipe, no hot water, a boiler lockout, we prioritise the call and aim to get someone out as fast as we can, and we will talk you through making the property safe while we are on the way. For planned work such as an installation or an annual service in Bolton, we will book a slot that suits you. Call 0161 515 9977 and the team will tell you honestly when they can be with you rather than promise something they cannot keep.

What is included in the price?

For gas engineer in Bolton, the fixed price we quote includes: gas safe registered engineer, id card shown; tightness test on the gas installation; combustion testing on the appliance; the certificate or record you need. If we find something during the job that genuinely changes the scope, we stop and tell you before we carry on, we do not simply add it to the bill at the end. Nelson Plumbing & Heating is a limited company (number 13649684) and we are members of Checkatrade and TrustATrader.

Do you work with landlords and letting agents in Bolton?

Yes. We carry out landlord gas safety checks (CP12 certificates), servicing and repairs for landlords and letting agents across Bolton and Greater Manchester. If you let a property with gas appliances you are legally required to have every gas appliance and flue checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months, to give the tenant a copy of the record within 28 days, and to keep copies for at least 2 years. We can handle single properties or a portfolio. Call 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk.

What areas around Bolton do you cover?

From our base in Salford we cover Bolton and the wider Greater Manchester area, including Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Sale, Bolton, Bury, Rochdale and Warrington. Within Bolton itself we regularly work in Horwich, Farnworth, Westhoughton, Little Lever and across the BL1 to BL7 postcodes. If your postcode sits just outside that, it is still worth calling on 0161 515 9977, we will tell you straight away whether we can get to you rather than take the booking and let you down.
