Gas fires in unupdated tenements
Some Shawlands tenements still have original gas fires that have not been inspected in years. These are carefully checked during the CP12 and any faults result in a quote before work proceeds.

Shawlands is one of the most popular rental areas on the Southside, known for its independent high street, good transport links and attractive period housing stock. The rental market here attracts young professionals and established tenants who often stay in the same property for several years, which means landlords in Shawlands tend to have stable tenancies but still face the annual CP12 requirement that applies regardless of how long a tenant has been in residence.
The gas safety considerations specific to Shawlands are tied closely to the character of the housing. The Victorian tenements have been modified and updated to different degrees. In well-maintained properties the annual check is straightforward. In properties that have not had regular maintenance the inspection can reveal faults in boilers, gas fires or flue integrity that must be resolved before the certificate can be issued. We find that Shawlands landlords who combine their annual CP12 with a boiler service have fewer faults requiring rectification before certification.
We carry out CP12 checks in Shawlands throughout the year. Pollokshaws Road properties, the side streets around Kilmarnock Road and the quieter residential areas towards Battlefield and Cathcart are all well within our regular patch. For letting agents with Shawlands portfolios we can arrange regular annual scheduling that ensures certificates are always renewed on time without the landlord or agent having to remember.

Shawlands boilers that have not been serviced regularly can show faults during the CP12 check. Combining the service with the safety check prevents this.
Some Shawlands landlords with stable long-term tenants overlook the annual renewal because nothing has changed at the property. The CP12 requirement applies every 12 months regardless of tenancy duration.
Properties that have been modified and updated at different times can have gas installations that need careful checking to ensure all appliances are connected correctly and all flues are performing as intended.

“Our radiator pipe was bent and leaking. They answered straight away… Guy was here an hour later and he was wearing ID, very professional, patient and kind. We just got a new carpet in this room and he done an amazing job on getting little to no water on it. Couldn't recommend enough, price was reasonable.”

“We lost heating just in time for the coldest day of the year with a baby in the house… When I contacted them they were ready to dispatch that night. Fixed by the afternoon. Quoted that morning and no extra charges were added. Honestly cannot thank them enough.”

“As a small business owner, I needed a drainage company that could respond quickly. The team attended first thing in the morning, cleared the blocked drain and carried out a full CCTV survey. All documentation emailed across promptly. Professional, efficient and great value for money.”
