Old gas fires alongside the boiler
Many Southside tenements still have original gas fires. These must be included in the CP12 inspection. Old gas fires are one of the most common sources of faults we find during Southside safety checks.

The Southside of Glasgow has a well-established private rental market. Areas like Govanhill, Pollokshields and Shawlands have some of the highest concentrations of privately rented flats in the city, with large Victorian tenements subdivided into flats that are popular with young professionals, students and families. This means there is a consistent and ongoing demand for CP12 gas safety certificates from landlords and letting agents operating in this part of Glasgow.
The older gas appliances common in Southside tenements make the annual inspection particularly important. Some properties still have gas fires alongside the boiler. Older boilers that have not been serviced regularly can develop faults that become apparent during a CP12 inspection. Flue integrity on older properties is something we pay particular attention to in the Southside, where original flue runs in tenement buildings can deteriorate over time. A certificate cannot be issued if we find an immediately dangerous fault, which is why we advise landlords to keep on top of annual servicing alongside the annual CP12 check.
We carry out CP12 checks across the Southside on a regular basis and know the area and its housing stock well. Govanhill in particular has a high density of older rental properties where we often find appliances that have not been checked for longer than they should have been. Shawlands converted flats typically have more modern installations. Pollokshields properties tend to be larger with more gas appliances to inspect, which means the inspection takes a little longer. We account for all of this when we quote.

Original flue runs in Victorian tenements can deteriorate over time. A failed flue flow test means we cannot issue a certificate until the flue is repaired. We quote for repairs on site.
Rental properties in Govanhill and Pollokshields sometimes have boilers that have not been serviced for years. Accumulated scale and worn components can result in failures during the safety check that need to be resolved before certification.
Larger Southside properties often have a boiler, gas fire and gas cooker all requiring inspection. We allow sufficient time and our quote reflects the number of appliances.

“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.”
