Gas Safety Inspection
Gas Safety Inspections for London, Essex & South East
What is Gas Safety inspection?
Gas safety inspections uncover details about the safety of gas appliances, also noting defects found during the process.
The official name for gas safety certificates is the ‘Landlord Gas Safety Record’. You might also find it called a ‘CP12’ form. Gas Safety inspection delivers real peace of mind. You can rest easy that gas appliances like boilers, gas fires, ovens and hobs – plus the associated ventilation systems – are all working safely. Gas Safety inspection can only be carried out by qualified and registered Gas Safe engineers.
What’s the purpose of Gas Safety inspection?
Gas safety inspection gives you confirmation, via qualified engineers, that your property’s gas appliances are working safely. The resulting gas certificates even highlight the times when appliance servicing is due, to help you keep things safe.
Why do I need Gas Safety inspection?
Energy efficiency is very important. But the main focus of Gas Safety inspection is safety. Landlords, whether commercial or domestic, will always be asked for gas certification; letting agencies will refuse to let your property without it. Wise buyers also make Gas Safety inspection an integral part of the buying process. It is the only real way to assure yourself and your lenders that the building is gas safe.
What if I don’t have a Gas Safety inspection?
Without a Gas Safety inspection you and everyone else who enters your property risks exposure to lethal carbon monoxide (CO). You can’t smell, see, hear or taste it but 14 of us in the UK die every year from CO poisoning. Many more of us suffer CO-related disabilities and brain damage. The main causes are badly fitted, repaired and maintained gas appliances.
Faulty gas appliances can lead to lethal, expensive explosions and intense fires.
Poorly-performing or dangerous gas appliances are also inefficient, potentially wasting costly energy.
Is Gas Safety inspection a legal obligation?
- Yes! All Landlords Are Legally Obliged To Certify That The Gas Appliances Provided For Tenants Are Safe
- They Are Legally Bound To Give Tenants A Copy Of The Gas Certificate Before They Move In Or Within 28 Days Of It Being Carried Out
- Landlords Must Have A Gas Safety Check Every Year
- Only Gas Safe Registered Engineers Can Carry Out The Safety Check If Your Property Is In Britain Or The Isle Of Man. Anyone Else Is Acting Illegally
