I'm afraid you get what you pay for with www.landlord-certificates.co.uk they owe me a tidy sum and I am about to take them to take them to court. Just seeing through the notice period. It will be a formality.

Hi Pilsbury


Sorry that you found our service expensive last time round. We continually monitor the market to make sure we are offering our customers good value for the service we provide. Our price of ?60 + VAT includes up to two appliances and reflects the amount of time we spend making sure that everything is tested vigorously so that landlords can have peace of mind that their tenants are safe with the appliances installed at their properties.


I think Gadge makes a good point, a dramatically reduced rate will normally just mean a reduction in the amount of time the engineer spends at the property which is when things can be possibly overlooked or missed.


Hope this helps to clarify our charges,


Kind regards


John

It seems there are a lot of guys offering gas certificates for unrealistically low prices (?30-?40). As a gas safe registered business myself I would think that in London around ?50+Vat would be a minimum rate that makes sense for a self employed guys to do a thorough inspection provided it is done locally to the business.


I try to keep my prices reasonable so if anyone is interested in gas services please get in touch. My web site is

I am a landlord and anywhere around ?70 quid seems to be the going rate if you want someone reputable. I think the least I have paid is ?60-something. British Gas engineers also charge slightly over ?70 unless you hold a home care agreement with them.


We've used JA Powers and found them reliable and helpful in that you receive a soft copy of the certificate via email.

    • Something doesn't quite smell right here and probably it's not  the chicken. Both the OP and TheWeekEnd specifically mention  chicken thigh fillets. TWE purchased £14 worth of chicken thigh fillets and they were thrown away "probably for the third time". £14 equates to around 12 fillets which is a lot. Could some have been frozen after purchase and then thawed? And thawed properly before cooking? TWE has a total of 4 posts of which 3 are on this thread.  
    • Thanks to all for the advice, very glad to have this community for these enquiries. Here is how it got resolved in case its useful for anyone in the future: I had ordered some garden waste bags, and when the Veolia person came around I just asked them, and they were more than happy to take it no questions asked. 🙂 
    • I keep seeing a thread 'missing cat', but you've been found.  Not sure if all would consider that a good thing.  Not a lot new happening ....  When you back in Blighty?
    • In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage.  1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic  sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts.  4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.
