Dunbar mixes historic harbour-side properties, Victorian villas along the seafront and modern estates inland. The town sits in one of the sunniest, driest pockets in Scotland but still gets serious easterly exposure on the coast — which changes how outdoor pipework, flue terminations and heat-pump units need to be specified.
Annual landlord gas safety inspections (CP12) and homeowner gas safety checks across Dunbar. Our Gas Safe registered engineers test every gas appliance — boiler, hob, fire, meter and pipework — for soundness, ventilation, flueing and combustion performance, then issue the certificate the same day. We deal with tenants directly to arrange access, file the digital certificate to you and your letting agent, and set a reminder so the renewal never lapses.
Landlord gas safety inspections in Dunbar need scheduling around tenants — we book direct with them, work to a same-day CP12 issue, and chase access politely so renewals don't lapse. EH42 stock ranges from period flats with shared flues to modern builds with room-sealed combis, and the inspection regime differs accordingly. Every certificate is digitally filed and a renewal reminder sent 30 days before expiry.
Do you cover Dunbar even though it's a fair drive from Kelso?+
Yes — we run dedicated East Lothian days that take in Dunbar, so EH42 work is scheduled efficiently rather than as a one-off long trip.
Should harbour-side Dunbar properties spec anything special?+
Yes — corrosion-resistant flue terminations and external pipework are well worth specifying on harbour-side EH42 properties. We do this as standard.
How much is a landlord gas safety certificate?+
Single-property CP12s typically run £75–£95 depending on the number of gas appliances. Multi-property landlords get a portfolio discount — ask for a written quote.
How long does the inspection take?+
Usually 30–45 minutes for a one-bedroom flat with a boiler and hob. Larger properties with multiple gas appliances run to about an hour.
What happens if an appliance fails?+
We isolate the unsafe appliance, issue a Warning Notice and quote in writing for the repair. The CP12 is issued for the safe appliances and re-issued in full once the fault is rectified.
