  Metro plumb was contracted by Thames Water to back-flush our mains connection as we had no water. The contractor called when he was on his way, was polite and considerate. He carried out the task as requested. When this did not solve the problem, he continued to explore other possibilities with us until water supply was successfully restored. We are very grateful for his help and his problem solving approach and highly recommend this company based on this experience.

  I can’t comment on the price as Thames Water requested they attend my property after a pipe burst. However the gentleman that came out to me was very nice friendly and polite. Talked me through what he was needing to do and when he left he left no mess! All in all very good first impression of the company

  Had a problem due to a recent Thames Water burst pipe and they made a referral to this company. They were fab and came out the same day and sooner than the given estimated time frame. My problem was fixed super quick. Efficient and friendly service from the technician. I can't comment on the cost as it was covered by TW, but I'd happily use this company again. Thank you.

  Really happy with the service! Bryan came out and, after the initial plunging didn’t work, he found the actual issue with the main water line and fixed it. He handled everything really well, and the water is now draining perfectly with no blockage. Great service and highly recommend Bryan! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  Exceptional and selfless service!
Kyle went above and beyond to help us during a tricky situation! Unbeknownst to us we had a damaged a pipe for years leading to a bedroom radiator, yoday ehile having some decorating done it was found and while waiting for the council to send someone to help,  Kyle, who was working nearby, stepped in. He wasn’t obligated to assist as he wasn’t assigned to us, yet he kindly fixed the issue on the spot. His professionalism and empathy were outstanding, and he saved us a lot of stress. An absolute credit to his team! Please give him a payrise or promotion!!!!! He is an absolute asset to your team!!!!!! 

Kyle, thank you so much! If the world was made up of more people like you, it'd be a much nicer place to live!!!! Thank you!

  We had a sudden loss of water into our house. Our usual plumbers had no idea what was happening. The water supply company said it was our problem. Metro Plumbing came three times and worked out that it wasn’t a dropped valve or anything and did blowback 7 times And eventually managed to Dislodge a 4 foot section of matted Tree root  from inside our Water Main! There were sudden restoration of cold water through the mains pipe into the house. Honestly, without them, we would be stuck without water! They were all very pleasant and courteous and listened to the complex Story of all the previous investigations.  We now need to work out where the Tree root  got into the Main water supply, but that’s another matter! They came three times and spent many many hours so the price I paid in fact was incredibly reasonable

Gas Safety Checks FAQs

How Much Does a Gas Safety Check Cost?

The exact price can vary depending on the number of gas appliances being inspected and your location. It is essential to have this certificate to meet legal requirements and ensure safety. For an accurate quote and professional service, contact Metro Plumb today.

Is There a Grace Period for a Gas Safety Certificate?

No, there is no grace period for a gas safety certificate. By law, landlords must always have a valid certificate to meet safety regulations. Gas safety checks need to be completed annually, and it’s essential to renew the certificate before it expires to ensure compliance and avoid legal penalties. For prompt and professional gas safety checks, contact Metro Plumb.

Is a Gas Safety Certificate the Same as a Boiler Service?

No, they are different. A gas safety certificate confirms that your gas appliances, pipework and flues meet legal safety standards and is mandatory for landlords. A boiler service, however, involves cleaning, inspecting and maintaining the boiler to ensure it operates efficiently. Both are essential for safety and reliability, but they serve unique purposes.

Why Should You Get a Gas Safety Check?

It’s a legal requirement that all landlords and property managers must have a gas safety check or service at least once every 12 months to ensure that all gas equipment is working as it should. If landlords fail to do this, they risk a fine and up to 6 months jail time. Once this safety check has been completed, a Landlord Gas Safety certificate, also known as a CP12 certificate, should be issued as proof.

What is a CP12 Certificate?

A CP12 certificate stands for CORGI Proforma 12 and originates from when CORGI was the UK’s statutory gas safety body; this was replaced by the Gas Safe Register in 2009 which is still in use today. As a result of this change, the certificate was also given a more generic name, a Landlord Gas Safety certificate, however many gas engineers still refer to it as a CP12 certificate.

How to Get a Gas Safety Certificate in the UK?

To get this certificate, your gas engineer will need to be qualified and registered on the Gas Safe Register. As part of this, they should be issued an ID card with the gas safe logo on it, which they should present to you when they come to complete any gas work. If they aren’t registered, then it’s illegal for them to carry out any work on any gas equipment.

What is Done in a Gas Safety Check? 

A gas safety check involves a comprehensive inspection of gas appliances such as boilers, pipework, flues, ovens, and chimneys. This process usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of appliances being inspected.

During the check, the gas engineer will:
Appliances have the correct pressure
Appliances are burning gas properly
Appliances have adequate air supply
Flues, chimneys and pipes are clear so gasses and fumes can be safely discharged
Safety devices are working properly

It is typically not necessary to turn off your boiler before a gas safety check, as it may need to be running for performance testing. However, the engineer might switch it off temporarily to carry out specific inspections. This process ensures that your gas appliances are safe, efficient, and compliant with safety standards, providing peace of mind and reducing potential risks.

When Should You Get a Gas Safety Check?

Any gas equipment should be checked at least once every 12 months, there’s no set time of year that these gas safety checks must be carried out, however we would recommend to service equipment before the colder months of late autumn and winter. As tenants will be using their heating more often, which puts added strain on boilers and gas fires, and makes it more likely that they’ll break down. By servicing the boiler beforehand, this gives the gas engineer chance to fix any problems before they become a major issue, which will save you time and money in the long run.
