Why do I need a Gas Safety Certificate?

As a landlord, you are required by law to ensure any gas appliances and flues owned by you in your properties have annual gas safety checks, in accordance with The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, and carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.

You need to provide a record of the annual gas safety check to your existing tenants within 28 days of completion, or to new tenants at the start of their tenancy.

What happens during the Gas Safety Check?

  • The operating pressure and heat input of the appliance to ensure it is working to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Any flue or chimney connected to the appliance is working properly.
  • The appliance is suitable.
  • The appliance is properly set up, including connected to gas pipes, and gas is burning correctly.
  • There is an adequate, permanent air supply as gas needs air to burn properly.
  • All accessible gas pipework is inspected to check it is in good condition.
  • The gas pipework is tested for leaks
  • We’ll leave you with a checklist of information about your boiler’s safety.

Luke is very polite, professional and informative. I am very happy to recommend him, and will definitely have him for future work.

I can’t recommend Luke highly enough, he did such a great job replacing two old boilers with a combi boiler, with lots of fiddly work and problem-solving along the way. We’re really pleased with the end result and appreciate his clear communication and keeping us up to date at all times. He left everything much neater and tidier than it was before and takes pride in his work. We’ll be hiring Luke for all our heating related jobs in the future as he’s so easy to work with.

Luke came to fix my boiler today so pleased with Luke’s professionalism. He cracked straight on with the job, collected the part, and repaired my boiler taking care of my kitchen. I thoroughly would recommend Luke again. I will certainly be using Luke again!

Excellent service on Christmas Eve. Luke called this morning to say when he would be with me – and he arrived just when he said he would. Boiler was fixed at a very reasonable cost and now I have hot water and heating for Christmas. Would definitely recommend and I will be using this company again for boiler service and any maintenance issues. Thank you Luke!
