Landlord gas records kept current in Peebles
Peebles attracts heating work that skews high-end — large detached properties along Edinburgh Road, restored Tweed-side cottages and a strong second-home market. Heat pumps are a regular conversation here, helped along by owners with the budget to do the job properly with radiator upgrades and underfloor zones.
Larger detached homes give us the heat-loss budget to design heat-pump systems that genuinely work in winter. 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 Peebles. 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.

Property and access context
Peebles details that affect the specification

Peebles questions worth answering first
Are heat pumps a good fit for Peebles properties?+
Often yes — Peebles has the housing stock and outdoor space to make heat pumps work well. We design every system to heat the home reliably through Borders winters, not just to tick a grant box.
Can you fit servicing in around Edinburgh-commuter schedules?+
Yes — we book in early-morning and end-of-day slots for EH45 commuters. Just tell us your preferred window when you book.
What should be checked before quoting gas safety certificates at this Peebles property?+
Larger detached homes give us the heat-loss budget to design heat-pump systems that genuinely work in winter. We confirm that point on site, then match the gas safety certificates specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every EH45 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.
