Gavin was very helpful over the phone in our initial conversation about our broken boiler and was able to attend the next day. He was very thorough and even came back later in the day with another part that was needed to finish the job to fit around my commitments. He was polite and friendly and I felt very confident in his knowledge and skills. I would recommend Gavin to anyone who asked and won't hesitate to hire him again for future work.Read full review

What landlords need
Compliance and repairs, sorted properly.
How this usually works
One firm, the whole portfolio.
Most landlords who move to us are not unhappy with the last engineer. They are tired of being the person who remembers — which property is due, whether the certificate came back, whether the tenant ever let anyone in. The administration is the actual problem, not the gas work.
So we take that on. Certificates are issued the same day as the visit and emailed straight to you. Renewals are tracked and you get a reminder before anything expires. Where you have several properties, they go on one schedule so the dates do not drift apart over the years into a rolling nightmare of individual renewals.
We deal with tenants directly to arrange access, which is usually the part that eats the most of your time. And when a tenant reports a fault, they call us, we fix it at a price agreed with you first, and you get told what happened. No disputes about what was authorised.
Common questions
What landlords ask first.
How quickly do I get the certificate?
The same day as the visit, emailed directly to you and ready to pass to your tenant. Not chased up a fortnight later.
Can you arrange access with the tenant yourselves?
Yes, and it is usually the most useful thing we do. Give us the contact details and we will sort the appointment, including evenings where a tenant works days.
What if the tenant will not let you in?
We will try repeatedly and keep you informed with a record of the attempts, which matters if it ever becomes a dispute. Access refusal is ultimately a tenancy matter rather than a heating one, but the documented trail is what you will need.
Can you manage certificates across several properties?
Yes, and this is where most of the value is. One schedule across the portfolio, one point of contact, renewal reminders before anything lapses, and certificates that come due together instead of dribbling in all year.
Who gets billed for a repair?
You do, and never the tenant. We agree the price with you before doing the work, so there is no argument afterwards about what was authorised.
Is a service the same as a CP12?
No, and this is the most common misunderstanding. A CP12 is a safety inspection that records whether an appliance is safe. A service is maintenance that keeps it working and keeps the manufacturer warranty valid. Most landlords want both, and booking them together costs less than booking them separately.

Excellent. Gavin provided a clear and competitive quote, arrived on time on the due date and delivered an excellent service. All plumbing works were superb, with a neat and tidy approach to the work and a clean space after completion. I know finding a good plumber is hard – Gavin was great!Read full review
I used GH Heating services to install a new oil boiler, and was very satisfied with the service. I dealt with Gavin who was professional, courteous, and quick to respond to any questions. The installation was conducted within the expected timeframe, and the site was left in a clean and tidy condition. The new boiler is working as expected, and a warranty has been arranged with Gavin for 5 years to handle any product issues that may occur.Read full review
