It is a legal
requirement for landlords to have all the gas appliances in a
rented property safety-tested every 12 months by a Gas
Safe registered engineer.
At GB Gas we are
qualified to carry out gas safety inspections and issue
certificates. If the appliance requires repairs or servicing,
this work can usually be carried out during the same visit at a
reduced cost.
Upon completion of all
necessary safety checks you will be issued with a certificate.
This certificate will be proof that all appliances are safe to
use; a copy will need to be given to your tenant within 28 days
of being issued and you will also need to retain a copy for two
years from this point.
All safety inspections
include:
-
Full system
soundness test to confirm no gas leaks in property
-
Appliance check for
gas soundness
-
Standing and working
pressure check
-
Burner pressure/gas
rate checked against manufacturer's data plate/manual
-

-
Flue flow test to

-

-
Checks for any

regulations
-
