CP12 help, please.

Hello there.

After 10 months of trying to sell my house, I'm now going to try and let it out.

My problem......
4 weeks ago I had an annual Gas safety check done under my BG Home Care agreement.
Since then I have decided to let the house and BG tell me that I need to have all of my gas appliances re-checked (at £60 per appliance) plus the £25 for the CP12.

It just seems a shame that I will have to pay to have my 3 gas appliances serviced all over again, just 4 weeks after being done.

Is it a case of bad timing on my part or is it worth pushing it with BG?

Thanks in advance

Appliances will have to be re checked as a CP12 has to be produced and will have to be dated at the time of inspection. It would be illegal to back date one and no engineer would sign one with out checking the appliances.

If you think of it in the terms of an MOT, the test station would not issue a certificate a month after the MOT as thigs may have changed since then.

Sorry to say but it seems like its just bad timing although if you were to get a local engineer out to inspect them it should be cheaper than the £205 that BG are asking!

In Manchester i would have thought it would be around the £120/130 mark

cp12 aka landlordcertificate, has nothing to do with the service done by bg.
You can get a much better deal (and probably better job) from good local rgi.

Thanks guys.
Does seem like bad timing but I really appreciate your recommednations on getting a local CORGI to do the job rather than BG.

Cheers

As with anything, just shop around for the best price and you'll get a good deal

70 quid for up to 3 appliances my firm charge........BG rip off....

We charge just £65 if no BBU or gas fires.

My trainee who moved to manch says he has to charge £55 there and somtimes just £45 for stingey agents who dont work on saturdays.

As the other guys have said, stear clear of BG for your CP12 fella! Corgi website type in post code and find or ring a few local RGI's. They would defo be cheaper than BG

 

[gas4you]

£60 first appliance, £30 second or each subsequent appliance (eg fire), £10 to visually check a cooker/hob, £5 for the certificate, all plus VAT.

I don't work for stingey agents or landlords, only those that appreciate a proper job done at a proper price
