Do you issue landlord gas safety certificates in Borehamwood?

Yes — CP12 landlord gas safety certificates are a large part of what we do in WD6. We are Gas Safe registered, can usually attend within a few days, and issue the certificate immediately on completion. We can also remind you ahead of the annual renewal.

Can you handle several rental properties across Borehamwood at once?

Yes. If you manage a portfolio in WD6 we can group the visits, align the renewal dates so everything falls due together, and deal directly with your tenants to arrange access. It is considerably cheaper and less hassle than booking them one at a time.

What happens if a rental property fails its gas safety check?

We will make the appliance immediately safe, explain clearly what failed and why, and give you a written quote for the remedial work. If an appliance has to be capped off we will tell you and the tenant straight away. We never inflate a failure to sell work — you will get the honest position in writing.

Do you cover Elstree and Well End too?

Yes, we cover the whole of WD6 including Borehamwood, Elstree, Well End, Cowley Hill and Furzehill, and we continue on towards Radlett and Shenley.

Can you fit a boiler in a small flat cupboard in Borehamwood?

Almost always. A lot of the WD6 flat stock has the boiler in a tight kitchen or hall cupboard, and we are used to working in those spaces. We will check flue routing and required clearances at the quote stage so there are no surprises on the day, and we leave tenanted properties clean and tidy.

Looking for a Plumber in Borehamwood?

1st Avenue Gas Plumbing & Heating Services is a family-run, Gas Safe registered firm based in Bushey, and we have been looking after homes in Borehamwood and across WD6 for years. Whether you need a new boiler, an annual service, an emergency repair or a full bathroom, you will get an honest price and a job done properly.

Borehamwood and neighbouring Elstree are a short run east from Bushey, and WD6 is one of the areas where we do the most landlord and rental work.

The Homes We Work On in Borehamwood

Borehamwood has a high proportion of rented housing — a mix of post-war council-built stock around Cowley Hill and Furzehill, purpose-built flats near the town centre and Elstree & Borehamwood station, and more recent developments on the old studio land. For landlords this means a steady annual cycle of CP12 gas safety certificates, and we handle a great many of them here. Because so much of the WD6 flat stock shares similar layouts and boiler positions, we can usually work efficiently through a portfolio in a single visit. The heating itself tends to be compact combi installations in confined kitchen or hallway cupboards, where the practical skill is in working neatly in a tight space and leaving a tenanted property clean. Out towards Elstree and Well End the properties get larger and the work shifts towards full system upgrades.

We are frequently on Shenley Road, Theobald Street, the Cowley Hill estate and around Elstree village. For letting agents and portfolio landlords in Borehamwood we keep track of certificate renewal dates and get in touch before they lapse, which saves the last-minute scramble that causes most CP12 breaches.
