Gas Safe registered boiler and plumbing engineers covering Selly Oak and the B29, B30 postcodes.
Quick answer
Selly Oak is student-let territory and most of our B29 work is landlord gas safety certificates and HMO compliance. CP12s are £90 for boiler and cooker, £15 per extra appliance, and we co-ordinate access with tenants directly.
With the University of Birmingham on the doorstep, B29 has one of the densest concentrations of shared housing in the city — and the tightest compliance calendar, with most tenancies turning over at the same point each summer.

Smell gas now? Do not use this form or wait for a reply. Call the National Gas Emergency Service free on 0800 111 999 (24 hours). If you are using a mobile, make the call from outside. Open doors and windows, do not switch electrics on or off, do not smoke or use naked flames, and turn the gas off at the meter if it is safe to do so, unless the meter is in a cellar or basement. Once the supply has been made safe, we can trace and repair the fault.
Heating work in Selly Oak
We handle multi-property landlords and letting agents across Selly Oak, Bournbrook and Harborne on a rolling schedule: we contact tenants for access, certify, and email certificates as they are issued so nothing lapses over a changeover. Portfolios of five or more properties get dedicated rates and consolidated invoicing.
HMOs typically have more appliances than a family home — boiler, cooker, sometimes a fire — so budget £90 plus £15 per additional appliance, and consider capping any decorative fire that is not in use.
Recent work in Selly Oak
A leaking Baxi in Selly Oak, diagnosed within the hour — a failed diverter valve, replaced from van stock, tested and back to normal before we left.
A letting agent with eleven student properties needed every CP12 renewed before the summer changeover. We ran it as a rolling schedule, contacted tenants for access directly, and emailed certificates as each was issued so nothing lapsed.
One B29 HMO had a decorative gas fire nobody used sitting on the certificate every year. Capping it removed an appliance from the annual bill permanently.

Homes and heating in Selly Oak
Selly Oak is student territory, and that shapes the work. The terraces between the Bristol Road and the University are mostly HMOs let by the room, which means a CP12 certificate every year, a boiler that runs hard for nine months and then sits idle over summer, and a landlord who needs it fixed today because five tenants are complaining. We do a lot of repairs here for exactly that reason.
Bournville and Weoley Castle are different again. Bournville Village Trust houses tend to be well maintained but on older, larger systems with cylinders, while Weoley Castle is mostly 1930s council housing, now a mix of tenures, with combis on original pipework. Stirchley and Cotteridge terraces sit in between: usually a combi, usually on its second or third replacement.
