Service overview

What we do, who it's for, and when it matters.

What it is

Domestic gas covers everything gas-related that isn't the boiler: gas cookers and hobs, gas fires and stoves, new gas pipework and alterations, meter-to-appliance runs, appliance disconnection and capping, gas leak investigation, and landlord CP12 gas safety records.

Who it's for

Homeowners fitting or replacing gas cookers and hobs, families installing a gas fire, landlords needing annual CP12s across a portfolio, anyone smelling gas or hearing a hissing they can't explain, and self-builders or renovators moving gas appliances.

When you need it

Any time gas is involved — new appliance, moved appliance, suspected leak, changing tenant, extending or renovating. By law, gas work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and we've been Gas Safe registered as 636807 for years.

Why professional matters

Gas is not something to bodge. A wrongly installed cooker, an undersized pipe, or a missing isolation valve is potentially life-threatening. Gas Safe registration exists for a reason — always ask to see the card. We'll happily show ours before we set a tool down.

The cost of leaving it

Small problems don't stay small.

Every year in the UK, people die from unregistered gas work — badly commissioned appliances, missing flues, cracked heat exchangers, and undetected leaks. Almost all of it is preventable with competent, registered work carried out to standards.

Gas leaks

The smell of gas — or an unexplained hiss — is a real emergency. Turn off at the meter, ventilate, and call National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Then get a Gas Safe engineer to investigate the cause.

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Blocked flues, cracked heat exchangers and badly commissioned burners produce CO — invisible, odourless, and potentially fatal. A working CO alarm and annual servicing prevents almost all of it.

Undersized pipework

Adding a hob to an existing gas run without checking pipe sizing can starve appliances of gas — combustion suffers, sooting starts, and lock-outs follow.

Non-compliant landlord installs

Landlords are legally responsible for annual gas safety records and appropriate maintenance. Missing a CP12 is a criminal offence and an insurance disaster.

Common mistakes we see

  • Fitting a cooker on the wrong hose type or bayonet.
  • Missing isolation on a gas appliance so future service means shutting the whole meter.
  • Ignoring a smell of gas because 'it went away'.
  • Fitting a gas fire without checking chimney/flue integrity.
  • Using unregistered fitters because they were cheaper.
  • Landlords assuming the previous CP12 rolls over — it doesn't.
Our process

A tidy, engineered process — no surprises.

Every job follows the same disciplined sequence, so you always know where we are and what's next.

  1. Step 1

    Survey & check

    We inspect the meter, existing pipework, appliance location, ventilation and flue arrangements — nothing quoted or fitted without checking the wider system.

  2. Step 2

    Sizing & written quote

    Pipe sizing calculated so every appliance runs correctly, and a fixed written price for the work including any isolation or bracketry required.

  3. Step 3

    Install to standards

    Pipework run to current gas regulations, all joints tested, appliance connected via correct bayonet or rigid connection, and isolation left in place for future service.

  4. Step 4

    Tightness test & commission

    Full tightness test on the system, appliance commissioned to manufacturer spec, combustion tested where relevant, and paperwork completed.

  5. Step 5

    Certificate & handover

    Gas Safe notification handled where applicable, and certificates (including CP12 for landlords) emailed the same day.

Specific outcomes — not vague promises.

Gas Safe registered

Registration number 636807 — every gas job by a Gas Safe engineer, in line with UK law. Always ask to see the ID card.

Landlord compliance sorted

CP12 landlord gas safety records issued the same day, with photos and defect notes where required.

Cookers, hobs and ovens

Freestanding gas cookers, built-in gas hobs and ovens, and range cookers — installed with correct bayonet or rigid connection, appropriate isolation, and chained where flexible connections are used. We test at the joint, prove the gas rate at the meter, and leave the isolation accessible for the next service.

  • Freestanding gas cookers
  • Built-in gas hobs (natural gas & LPG)
  • Range cookers with rigid gas connection
  • Appliance disconnection and safe capping

Gas fires and stoves

Gas fires and gas stoves need a suitable chimney or flue, correct ventilation, and commissioning to the manufacturer's spec. We check the flue for integrity (including flue-flow tests), commission for correct combustion, and issue paperwork. If your chimney isn't suitable, we'll tell you before the work starts, not after.

Gas pipework, alterations and re-routes

Adding an appliance, moving the cooker, or altering pipework for a kitchen refit needs proper pipe sizing so every downstream appliance still runs cleanly. We calculate gas rate loss, size the pipe, and test the whole system on completion. Concealed pipework is protected and identified per regulations.

Gas leak investigation

If you smell gas, call National Gas Emergency (0800 111 999) first — they'll come and isolate at the meter. Then we investigate the cause: joint failure, worn valve, corroded pipework, or appliance-side leak. We locate, repair, and pressure-test before restoring the gas.

Landlord CP12 gas safety records

The Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) is a legal annual requirement for every rented property with a gas appliance. We visit, test every appliance and pipework segment, note any defects, and email the certificate the same day. Landlords with multiple properties can schedule the whole portfolio as one route.

Residential vs commercial gas

For light-commercial gas work (small offices, cafes with gas hobs, retail with heaters) see our commercial services page — same engineers, additional commercial gas competencies where required.

FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Are you Gas Safe registered?+

Yes — Gas Safe registration number 636807. Every gas job is legally required to be carried out by a Gas Safe engineer, and we're happy to show the ID card before work starts.

How much does a CP12 landlord gas safety record cost?+

It depends on the number of appliances and pipework at the property. For portfolio landlords we price per visit as a bundle. Ask us for a fixed price.

How quickly can you do a CP12?+

Usually within the same week, sooner where possible. If you're mid-changeover between tenants, tell us the deadline and we'll fit it in.

I can smell gas — what do I do?+

First — do not switch anything electrical on or off, don't use naked flames, open doors and windows, and get everyone out. Call National Gas Emergency on 0800 111 999. They will isolate the supply. Then call us to investigate and repair once it's safe.

Can you install a gas hob during a kitchen refit?+

Yes. Ideally we work alongside your kitchen fitter — the hob arrives, we size the gas run correctly, install and commission it, and leave you the paperwork. If pipework needs altering, we'll survey and quote first.

Do gas fires still comply with regulations?+

Yes — but they need suitable flues/chimneys, ventilation and annual servicing. We install and service compliant gas fires and can advise on whether an existing chimney is suitable for a specific fire model.

Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm?+

Yes — CO alarms are required by law in many rooms containing a fuel-burning appliance in rented properties, and they're strongly recommended in all homes. We'll advise on placement and can fit alarms as part of the job.

Can I fit my own cooker?+

In domestic settings, connecting a gas appliance to a fixed gas supply is Gas Safe registered work — it's not legal for an unregistered person to do it. Fitting a cooker on a bayonet is quick for a Gas Safe engineer and gives you the paperwork you need.

Do you cover Rochdale, Oldham and Manchester?+

Yes — Rochdale, Oldham, Manchester, Salford, Bury, Ashton-under-Lyne, Heywood, Middleton, Shaw and surrounding Greater Manchester.

Do you offer emergency gas call-outs?+

For a suspected gas escape, call the National Gas Emergency line first (0800 111 999). For repair work after an emergency isolation, we prioritise existing customers within our standard hours (Mon–Sat, 8am–6pm).
