Landlord cover. One visit.
Annual oil safety for rental properties across Knaresborough, Harrogate and rural North Yorkshire. Full service, CD/11 certificate, CO alarm fitted, documentation pack for your agent — £199 per property, all in one visit.
One visit. Six obligations sorted.
Every line item that a letting agent or insurer typically asks for, bundled into a single £199 visit per property. No add-ons, no hidden line items, no second callout to fit something we should have brought.
Full OFTEC service
Identical to the Standard homeowner service — burner strip, new nozzle, new fuel filter, full combustion analysis. Not a five-minute tickbox — the full 7-stage procedure documented on the certificate.
CD/11 certificate
Industry-standard OFTEC landlord oil safety certificate. Combustion readings, condition assessment, any defects clearly identified. Accepted by insurers, letting agents and tenancy agreements as the official record.
10-year CO alarm
Sealed 10-year unit supplied, mounted in the same room as the appliance per regulations, tested in-place with calibrated source. Serial number and install date logged on the documentation pack.
Tank inspection
Visual inspection of the oil tank — corrosion, bulging, leaks, bund integrity, vent and gauge condition. Findings logged. Any defects flagged with a separate quote so you can decide what to address.
Compliance pack
One PDF: CD/11 certificate, service record, CO alarm install certificate, tank inspection note. Emailed to you and (with your permission) directly to your letting agent. Ready for the tenancy file.
Renewal reminder
11 months on, a polite reminder lands in your inbox. No automated nagging. Re-book in two clicks. Multi-property portfolios scheduled back-to-back to keep your annual administration to a single morning.
The boring stuff done properly.
Landlord compliance work isn’t glamorous. But the difference between a good engineer and a bad one shows up in the paperwork, the timing, and how they deal with your tenants.
One Invoice, One Visit
Most competitors charge separately for the service, the CD/11, and the CO alarm — sometimes across two visits. Our £199 covers all three in one trip. One invoice per property, one PDF pack for your agent.
Tenant-Friendly
Two-hour arrival window. Phone the tenant 30 minutes ahead. Dust sheets down, boots off, work area tidied. Tenants tell their landlord we’re polite, and that lands in your tenancy-renewal review.
Documentation In Agent Format
Letting agents want a specific PDF format for the tenancy file. Our compliance pack is built to drop straight into their system. No follow-up “can you resend that as a single PDF?” requests.
Honest About Defects
If we find something, you get a clear written quote — not a sales pitch. Plenty of landlords work with us specifically because we don’t manufacture work. Fix what needs fixing; leave what doesn’t.
Same Engineer Every Year
No subcontractors, no rotating staff. The same engineer who serviced the property last year is the one returning this year — knows the install, knows the quirks, picks up where the last visit ended.
Portfolio Coordination
If you’ve got several properties, we’ll schedule them back-to-back, send one combined quote, invoice once a month or once a year — whatever works for your books. Less admin for everyone.
Multiple properties? We’ll plan around it.
Annual safety across a small portfolio shouldn’t be a logistical nightmare. Tell us when you’d like the run done, and we’ll handle the scheduling, tenant contact, and documentation in one go.
Multi-stop discount
£199 first property, £179 each property thereafter at the same village or postcode area. Travel between properties absorbed. Same engineer, same morning, same level of care at each property.
Scheduled annually
Pick a month — typically August or September — and we slot your portfolio in once a year. You only have to think about it once. Multi-year contracts available if you want price protection.
Tenant contact handled
Send us tenant names and numbers. We coordinate access directly so you’re not the middleman. We’ll work around night shifts, school runs, and the tenant’s actual life rather than ours.
Single combined invoice
One invoice for the whole run, payable monthly or annually. Itemised per property with the documentation pack attached. Easy to expense, easy to reconcile, easy to audit.
Defects logged centrally
Any defects found across your portfolio are flagged in a single summary document — what needs sorting at which property, by when, with quotes. Easier than reconciling six separate certificate reports.
Compliance status dashboard
For larger portfolios, we’ll provide an annual compliance status summary — every property, certificate expiry date, CO alarm install date, any pending defects. Quick at-a-glance view for your agent.
Per property. No surprises.
One fixed rate per property. Multi-stop discount if you’ve got more than one in the same area. All-in pricing — the CO alarm, certificate and documentation pack are included, not add-ons.

What’s actually charged: £199 for the first property in a postcode area, £179 for each additional property booked at the same time. Travel within 25 miles of Knaresborough included throughout. Larger portfolios (10+ properties) get a custom quote — usually further reduced from the multi-stop rate.
What’s not included: repair work uncovered during the service. If we find a defect, you get a written quote up-front — never an authorised repair you didn’t ask for. Tank polishing also available as an add-on at +£40 per property when bundled with the annual.
What you get on the day.
The paperwork is the whole point. Here’s exactly what gets issued, what each document is for, and what it lets you do.
CD/11 Certificate
The headline document. Industry-standard OFTEC landlord oil safety certificate. Combustion readings, condition assessment, defects (if any) listed. Accepted by insurers, agents and tenancy agreements as evidence of compliance.
Service Record
Detailed list of work performed during the service — burner strip, parts replaced, filters cleaned, combustion settings, flue gas analysis readings. Useful for warranty claims and any future engineer reviewing the install history.
CO Alarm Install Certificate
Records the model, serial number, install date, expected expiry, and location of the alarm. Sign-off that the alarm complies with manufacturer specifications and current regulations.
Tank Inspection Note
Visual check of the oil tank — corrosion, bulging, leaks, bund condition, vent and gauge. Defects flagged with photos where useful. Not a structural survey — but enough to identify obvious risks.
Combined PDF Pack
All four documents above merged into a single PDF, named with the property address and date. Drops straight into a tenancy file or compliance system without renaming or merging.
Direct-to-Agent Option
If you’d rather we sent the PDF pack directly to your letting agent (cc’d to you), give us the agent’s email when you enquire. Removes one forwarding step from your day.
Rental properties across North Yorkshire.
Knaresborough hub, 25-mile radius included on every visit. Rural rentals — typical of the North Yorkshire market — sit right inside our wheelhouse.
Landlord-specific questions.
The questions landlords and letting agents ask before adding a new engineer to their panel.
Is an oil safety certificate legally required? +
There isn’t a direct statutory equivalent of the Gas Safety Certificate for oil. However, landlord insurance, mortgage conditions, letting agency contracts and most tenancy agreements all require evidence of annual oil servicing and a current safety certificate. The CD/11 is the recognised industry document that satisfies all of these. In practice it’s required by everyone except the law itself — and the law (Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985) does require a landlord to keep heating “in proper working order”, which without an annual service is hard to evidence.
My tenant has called about a fault — can you handle it? +
Yes. You can pass the tenant our number and authorise us to attend at standard or out-of-hours rates as appropriate. We’ll diagnose, make safe, and quote any repair work back to you before doing it. Tenant gets sorted, you get the documentation, no one’s chasing anyone.
Can I authorise the visit by email without being on site? +
Yes — for the routine annual visit we don’t need the landlord present. We coordinate access directly with the tenant (or via the letting agent if you prefer), perform the work, email the documentation pack, and invoice you afterwards. Plenty of our landlord work is for landlords who live nowhere near the property.
What about HMOs? +
HMO oil heating is the same job as a single-occupancy rental. The CD/11 covers the appliance regardless of how many tenants are in the property. Some HMO licences require more frequent inspection (e.g. 6-monthly checks) — if that’s stipulated in your HMO licence, we can schedule the additional visits at the multi-stop rate.
What if the property already has a working CO alarm? +
We’ll check the existing alarm — model, install date, location, function. If it’s still within its 10-year window and properly sited, we leave it and note it on the compliance pack. If it’s expired, in the wrong room, or non-functional, we fit a fresh one at no extra charge — the alarm cost is built into the £199.
How do I pay — and when? +
Invoice on the day of the visit, payable within 14 days by bank transfer or card. For portfolio landlords, we can combine into a single monthly or quarterly invoice. Letting agents on our panel get net-30 terms with itemised invoices per property. Whatever works for your books.
What if my tenant won’t let you in? +
It happens. We’ll make up to 3 attempts to coordinate access directly. If the tenant remains uncooperative, we’ll report back to you with a record of the access attempts — useful evidence for tenancy enforcement. We don’t charge for failed access attempts; only for the visit that actually happens.
What happens if you find a serious defect? +
Three things in order: (1) we make the appliance safe — isolating fuel or electrics if necessary so it can’t run unsafely. (2) we phone you immediately with the situation. (3) we provide a written quote to put it right. We don’t authorise work ourselves on behalf of a landlord. Your call, every time.
Annual cover.
Sorted.
Send a few details — number of properties, rough location, when you’d like the visit. We’ll come back the same working day with a quote and a date.
Multi-property portfolios get bespoke pricing, scheduling and documentation arrangements. Mention property count and patch in your enquiry — we’ll come back with a tailored proposal that fits your admin process, not ours.
