Plumber & Gas Engineer Serving Portswood

Portswood's High Rental Density — I Know the Area Well

Portswood has a very high proportion of rented properties, including a large number of HMOs and student houses. Landlord gas safety inspections are one of the most common jobs I carry out in this area — they're a legal requirement for all rented properties with gas appliances, and I can certificate multiple properties in the same road on the same day.

The Victorian terraces that dominate Portswood have been through many plumbing and heating updates over the decades. Shared walls, old cast iron waste pipes, and heating systems that have had numerous modifications make these properties more complex than they appear from the outside.

I cover Portswood and the surrounding SO17 area. Gas Safe registered (reg. 558654), landlord CP12 certificates issued on the same day, and transparent pricing — no hidden charges, no call-out fee during standard hours.

Yes — Portswood is one of the areas I carry out the most landlord gas safety inspections. If you have a rental property or multiple properties in the area, I can carry out inspections and issue certificates on the day.

Can you work on a Victorian terrace that's been converted to flats in Portswood?

Yes — converted Victorian terraces are common in Portswood and I deal with them regularly. These properties often have modified or shared plumbing and heating systems, and I'm experienced at assessing what's there and carrying out work safely and effectively.

My tenant in Portswood has reported a gas smell — what should I do?

If there's a suspected gas leak, the tenant should turn off the gas at the meter, open windows, leave the property, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Once it's been made safe, contact me and I'll carry out a gas tightness test and trace any fault before the supply is turned back on.
