Gas Engineers & CP12 Checks in Bournemouth & Poole

A Gas Safe registered engineer installs, services, repairs and inspects gas appliances and pipework in domestic and commercial properties. That includes gas boilers, hobs and cookers, gas fires, central heating systems, flues and gas meter connections. They also carry out gas safety checks and issue legal compliance certificates for landlords. Our engineers handle the full range of gas engineering work across Bournemouth, Poole and the surrounding Dorset area, from emergency callouts to planned installations.

Yes. It is a legal requirement in the UK that all gas work on appliances, pipework and fittings is carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. It is illegal for anyone without current Gas Safe registration to work on gas in a domestic property. Unqualified gas work also invalidates home insurance and puts your household at serious risk. All of our engineers are fully Gas Safe registered, and you can verify their credentials on the official Gas Safe Register before any work begins.

Act immediately. Do not turn any switches on or off, do not use naked flames or electrical devices, and do not use your doorbell. Open windows and doors to ventilate, then leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 — free, 24/7. Only call a gas engineer once the emergency has been assessed and the property declared safe. We can then carry out a full gas safety inspection and any necessary repairs.

A Gas Safety Certificate (formally a CP12) is a legal document issued after a qualified Gas Safe engineer inspects all gas appliances and pipework in a property. In the UK, landlords are legally required to have a valid Gas Safety Certificate for every rental property, renewed every 12 months. Failure to comply can result in significant fines or prosecution. We carry out landlord gas safety inspections across Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset, issuing the certificate on completion of a thorough check.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless gas produced when gas appliances malfunction or are poorly ventilated. It is highly toxic — even low-level exposure can cause headaches, dizziness and nausea, while higher concentrations can be fatal. Common causes include faulty boilers, blocked flues and poorly installed appliances. Every property with gas appliances should have a working carbon monoxide alarm fitted. We check for CO risks during every gas safety inspection and can identify appliances producing dangerous emissions.

Yes. A Gas Safe registered engineer can legally move, extend or modify existing gas pipework in your property, including relocating gas meters, extending pipework to new appliances, or capping off redundant connections. This work must always be pressure-tested and certified on completion. We carry out gas pipework modifications for domestic and light commercial properties across Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset, in line with current Gas Safe and Building Regulations standards.

All gas appliances — boilers, gas fires and cookers included — should be inspected by a Gas Safe registered engineer at least once a year. Annual checks confirm appliances are operating safely and efficiently, identify developing faults before they become costly, and keep manufacturer warranties valid. For landlords, annual gas safety inspections are a legal obligation. We recommend booking your annual check before winter, when heating systems are under the greatest demand.
