How many landlord inspections in a day?

[capitanpugwash]

for £20 i would be buying a load of meter discs and failing a lot due to gas leaks, thats the only way you could do a "good" job for £20's worth of work

Don't quite follow you there kirkgas? Then I can be a bit slow on the uptake!

i think he is saying he would "make sure" he finds a leak so he can disc the meter and not do the inspection as the carcass is leaking

Why makes perfect sense, you'll be in and out in 20 mins....

i meant that for £20 i would only be in the property long enough to do a TT, find a leak, cap the supply and write a warning notice

Heard some agency was paying £20 a check and expecting 12 a day off you. Seemed a bit much if you are expected to do it properly?8-10 seems more reasonable but then the money doesn't seem so great!

£20 lol is some muppet doing them for this I actually hate landlords (not them al)
had one recently who i gave a price to change there pcb board and i got it at trade price added some cash on top as it was still working out cheaper than what he could buy it for.
the rodent actually phoned around all the part places pretending he was gas safe registered so they would give him the price ( the culprit is a large company who we all use but not part centre) actually gave him the price thinking he was gas safe.
He then phoned me up lol telling me I could get the part cheaper for him USING MY GAS SAFE CARD you can imagine what I said to him.

never underestimate the meanness of a landlord they would dig in human feaces to find a pound

if all r/s boilers and no safety notices to complete 8-10 a day just plodding along.
filling out the paperwork is what takes up most of your time.

tightness test , visual inspection of appliance , flue , ventilation etc + gas rate or combustion test on the appliances is all thats required. if they want to pay for a service then thats different.

8-10 a day ..? there is no way i could do that many and do everything you need to do.
Might be able to do 6 at most.

you will when you have more experience and do things in a logical order to minimise time wasted, as long as they are all straight forward and near each other it is no prob for experienced quality guys
say a flat with an internal gas meter and a decent looking RS condensing boiler, how long would it take you to : do a visual inspection, do a TT, FGA the boiler and write a report

More experience ? I have been working on gas for over 20years .Even at BG we would only have to do about 5 landlord checks a day.

oh well, i'm not sure why you cant do what i said then, i can, sorry if you are offended, surely with BG you did more than 5 landlord checks a day even for social housing when you need to service the boiler, i thought BG got 50mins to "service" a bbu
how long would it take you to do the tasks i said?

only 5 a day at british gas? think they will more then likely be trying to get 12 from there books in guys now.
