Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you get to Harlow?▾
Roughly 0 minutes from our Harlow base via M11 (J7/J7a). Same-day slots for CM17/CM18/CM19/CM20 on most weekdays, and a booked morning slot for anything non-urgent.
Do you know the housing stock around The Harvey Centre?▾
Yes — we work across Harlow weekly. We see original 1960s flats often have undersized gas supply pipes that limit modern combi performance constantly. That means quicker diagnosis and a proper first-visit fix rate.
How long does a CP12 take?▾
Around 30 minutes for a single-appliance property, up to an hour if there's a boiler, gas cooker and gas fire.
What's the penalty for not having one?▾
Up to £6,000 per appliance and six months in prison. It also invalidates most landlord insurance.
Do you cover HMOs?▾
Yes — HMOs need extra checks on shared systems. We're familiar with the additional HMO licensing requirements for Essex and Herts councils.
