Cost of landlord gas safety check £60+VAT?

[slickbone]

Hi all,

I hope someonebody is able to put my mind at rest. I have a rental property which has a gas hob and combi boiler.

I am due for a gas safety check and I have been quoted £60+VAT for the combi boiler and gas hob inclusively. This quote is through my property management company.

Is this reasonable?

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Very reasonable

How about going direct to an engineer rather than through property management

Nothing wrong with that, probably on the cheap side depending on your location

GasmanxxxR1,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. Very much appreciated. The reason I cant use my usual guy is that I think he has closed his business down and he is unreachable.

Thanks again!

townfanjon,

Thanks for your reply. My property is based in Leicester. My usual guy used to do it for £40 hence the post.

Many thanks!

£40 ? No wonder he's gone bust, even £60 is too cheap imo

so you wouldnt like my £95 for a combi service and LLC that I charged today then.

i charge more in nottingham without the vat.
management co probably use the same company that i subby for that charge £35-40 then they charge 20% on top to you.

anything sub £100 is reasonable unless you want to gripe over £20 for a one-off property as in my book anything under 5 properties in the same day/customer, does not warrant any discount!

That's cheap for a service and LGSC combined...

Theres a guy round my way who's doing them for £35 although he's doing allot for landlords/estate agents so does them at a lower cost to get more, but most people round my way are at the £60 mark, so i'd say 60+vat is reasonable through an estate agents

I charge £60.00 for 2 appliances then £15.00 for each additional appliance.
