Gas safety checks coordinated in Duns
Duns is the natural service town for Berwickshire — a working market town surrounded by big agricultural country. The mix of Victorian stone houses around the Square, post-war estates off Castle Street and a wide rural patch reaching toward Polwarth and Greenlaw makes for a healthy spread of gas, oil and LPG work.
Most rural addresses around Duns are off the gas grid — oil and LPG dominate the work pattern. For gas safety certificates, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
Annual landlord gas safety inspections (CP12) and homeowner gas safety checks across Duns. 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. This page is specifically for rural owners who need to keep safety records current and coordinate access without chasing tenants.

Before you book: local practical answers
Do you cover the rural Berwickshire farms around Duns?+
Yes — Polwarth, Greenlaw, Gavinton, Allanton and the wider TD11 patch are part of our normal Duns round, with most farm and steading work booked in within the week.
Can you handle multi-zone systems in larger Duns properties?+
Yes — we design and zone larger heating systems properly, including zoned weather compensation and underfloor heating where it makes sense.
What should be checked before quoting gas safety certificates at this Duns property?+
Most rural addresses around Duns are off the gas grid — oil and LPG dominate the work pattern. We confirm that point on site, then match the gas safety certificates specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD11 address is alike.
Is this page aimed at rural owners?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise rural owners who need to keep safety records current and coordinate access without chasing tenants. If the building or occupancy differs, the survey is where we adjust the plan.
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.
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.
