Reviews

What customers say.

★★★★★
Boiler died on the coldest week of the year. Surveyed Tuesday, new one in and running Thursday, floor hoovered before they left. Price didn't move from the quote.

★★★★★
They do the CP12s and services across my five rentals in one sweep every year and chase ME for access dates. Certificates in my inbox next morning. Effortless.

★★★★★
Leak under the bath on a Sunday. Talked me through turning the water off on the phone, out first thing Monday, sorted in an hour. Charged exactly what they said.

Asked every week

Quick answers before you ring.

Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?
Usually a small leak on the heating circuit or a tired expansion vessel. Topping up to 1 to 1.5 bar now and again is fine. Doing it every week? Something's leaking, and it wants finding before winter.
How fast can you do a landlord CP12?
Usually within the week, certificate emailed within 24 hours. £70, or £60 per property for landlords with three or more. We track the annual renewal date so you never lapse.
Can I get the boiler service and CP12 done together?
Yes, one visit, £120 for both. Saves £25 and keeps the boiler warranty valid at the same time.

Our work

Jobs we're proud of. Proof, not promises.

A gallery like this does two things a slogan can't: shows a buyer exactly the standard they'll get, and gives Google and the AI assistants real evidence to judge the business by. In your build, every frame below is a photo of your actual jobs, captioned like these.

Every job here is written up the way buyers search: what it was, where, and the detail that mattered. That's what makes a gallery pull work instead of just sitting there.

About us

Paul, Liv, and two vans you'll see about.

Paul Carter started on the tools in Leyland in 2002 and never left. His daughter Liv joined in 2019 and is now Gas Safe registered in her own right. Still a two-van firm on purpose: the person who quotes your job is the person who turns up to do it.

Qualified, provably

Gas Safe registered, both of us, renewed every year. Unvented cylinder (G3) qualified. Check our numbers on the Gas Safe register; you should check every gas engineer's.

Insured, properly

£5m public liability. Documents available on request without a fuss, because you should be asking every trade for them.

Local, actually

Based in Leyland, not a call centre with a Leyland number. If a job's too far or not our thing, we'll say so and point you at someone good.

Straight answers

The questions we get every week.

How much is a landlord gas certificate (CP12)?
£70 for a typical property with a boiler and one other gas appliance, £60 per property for landlords with three or more. Certificate emailed within 24 hours, and the law says it renews every 12 months: we track the date and remind you before it lapses.
How much does a boiler service cost, and do I really need one every year?
£75. And yes, if you want the manufacturer's warranty to hold, most require an annual service by a Gas Safe engineer. It's also when we catch the £40 part before it becomes the £400 breakdown in January.
Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?
Usually a small leak on the heating circuit or a tired expansion vessel. Topping up to 1 to 1.5 bar occasionally is fine. Weekly top-ups mean something's leaking and wants finding before winter.
Is a powerflush worth it?
If radiators are cold at the bottom, the water runs black when bled, or a new boiler is going onto old pipework, yes: £420 fixed, up to 10 radiators. If your system doesn't need one, we'll tell you and save you the money.
How much is a new boiler, fitted?
A quality mid-range combi swap is typically £2,150 to £3,200 fitted, with up to 12-year warranties. Free survey first, then a fixed written price, not an estimate that grows.
What do I do if I smell gas?
Ring the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 straight away, open windows and doors, don't touch electrical switches. Once the emergency service has made it safe, we handle the repair and re-certification.
Do you charge for quotes?
No. Quotes and boiler surveys are free, in writing, and hold for 60 days.
