Comprehensive Landlord Services

Gas Safety Certificates

Gas safety is a top priority for any landlord. Our comprehensive Gas Safety Certificate service includes a detailed inspection of all gas appliances, pipework, and flues within your property. Our certified engineers will carry out the checks to ensure everything is operating safely and efficiently. We provide you with a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), which is a legal requirement and must be renewed annually to maintain compliance.

Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)

Electrical safety is another critical aspect of property management. Our Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) service involves a comprehensive assessment of the electrical systems in your property. This inspection identifies potential hazards, ensuring that all installations meet the required safety standards. The EICR is legally required for rental properties in Scotland and must be renewed every five years or as specified by local regulations.

Legionella Risk Assessments

Legionella bacteria can pose a serious health risk if not properly managed. Our Legionella Risk Assessment service helps landlords identify and mitigate any risks associated with their water systems. By conducting a thorough evaluation of water storage and distribution systems, we help you take the necessary precautions to protect your tenants and comply with health and safety regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Gas Safety Certificate, and why do I need one?

A Gas Safety Certificate, also known as a CP12, is a document that confirms all gas appliances, fittings, and flues in a property have been checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer and are safe to use. As a landlord, it is a legal requirement to have this certificate to ensure the safety of your tenants.

How often do I need to renew my Gas Safety Certificate?

A Gas Safety Certificate must be renewed annually. You are required to have a valid certificate at all times to comply with legal regulations and to avoid penalties.

What does an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) involve?

An EICR is a thorough inspection of the electrical systems in your property. It includes checking wiring, sockets, switches, and other electrical installations to ensure they are safe and comply with current regulations. This report is mandatory for landlords in Scotland and must be conducted at least once every five years.

How long does it take to complete an EICR?

The duration of an EICR depends on the size and condition of the property, but typically, it takes between 1.5 to 4 hours. Our electricians aim to complete the inspection with minimal disruption to your tenants.

What is a Legionella Risk Assessment, and why is it important?

A Legionella Risk Assessment identifies potential risks in your property’s water system that could lead to the growth of Legionella bacteria, which causes Legionnaires’ disease. This assessment is crucial for ensuring the health and safety of your tenants, particularly in properties with water tanks, cooling systems, or other water systems.

How quickly can I get my Gas Safety Certificate or EICR after the inspection?

We strive to issue certificates within 48 hours of completing the inspection. In most cases, you will receive your Gas Safety Certificate or EICR electronically within this timeframe.

Can I book multiple services at once?

"From first contact to end of installation and beyond, it’s been a great pleasure. Prompt response to my query and subsequent questions, a very competitive quote and a brilliant boiler installation. On time, professional, tidy and also good fun. Wish they were all like this."

Ashleigh Wallace

"My boiler broke 6 days day ago, within 12 hours I had someone out to disable the boiler, then a few days later I've had a brand new boiler installed at a very competitive price. The two engineers I spoke to were lovely and happy to help. Honestly made a stressful situation so much easier. Would continue to recommend."

Jayne Blair

"Highly recommend David and his team at Home Heating right from the onset the communication was brilliant. The onsite engineers were polite and helpful and ensured that everything was spotless when they left, They did an amazing job both outside and in given that they were moving my boiler you can’t see where the Builder rough casted & plastered the old flue hole 10/10."

Laura Porteous

"Fast and friendly service within 1 hour of calling, couldn’t recommend this company more! Our tenant reported a leak going into the flat below them, we called Home Heating Services and someone was out straight away and fixed the source of the leak. Our tenant told us that the service was great - thank you again!"
