Letting a property in Olton: what does the gas check cover?

Every 12 months, a rented property needs its gas appliances, pipework and flues checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The tenant is given a copy within 28 days of the check, and new tenants get one before moving in. Two years is the minimum for keeping the records.

Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited issues CP12 certificates for landlords throughout Birmingham and Solihull. A CP12 is not a boiler service, and booking both at one visit keeps the boiler warranty intact.

Is it safe to leave a boiler with low pressure?

It is not dangerous in itself, as most boilers simply lock out below their minimum pressure. The problem is no heating or hot water, and the underlying leak carrying on.

Is the quote free?

Quotes from Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited are free and itemised. You see the parts and the labour as separate lines, not one figure. It lets you compare quotes like for like.

On the day, you get a 45-minute warning before the engineer arrives. You can get on with your day until the call comes.

Is a plumber a Gas Safe engineer?

Not automatically. Plumbing and gas are separate qualifications, and only somebody on the Gas Safe Register may do gas work. Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited is both a plumbing firm and Gas Safe registered, number 501031.

Why do some radiators heat and others stay cold?

The position of the cold area is the diagnosis. A cold top means air, which the bleed valve releases. Cold at the bottom is sludge, and bleeding will not shift it.

When the rooms nearest the boiler are hot and the far ones lukewarm, the system is out of balance. A sticking pin under a thermostatic head can leave a single radiator cold. Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited installs, repairs and balances radiators.
