Annual Gas Safety Check
Each year we must carry out a Gas Safety check by law. If you have been contacted by our Gas Safe engineer it is vital that you let the engineer in as soon as possible so this can be carried out. Please note although this is required from us by law this is for your safety so please do ensure this is not delayed and the gas safe engineer is given access. You will be contacted in advance and an appointment will always be booked that suites you.
So what does a gas Safety Check involve?
An annual gas safety check involves a certified Gas Safe Registered Engineer visiting the rental property to inspect the gas appliances, like the hob and oven, and systems, like the boiler and hot water cylinder. During their visit, the engineer will:
-
Carry out a visual inspection of all gas appliances
-
Check and record the gas rate and burner pressure
-
Carry out a tightness test at the gas meter to ensure there are no leaks
-
Test the appliance flue gases
-
Check and clean the condense trap
-
Check the ventilation and air supply
-
Ensure safety devices are working
-
Carry out a visual check of your heating system to look for defects, including radiators and hot water cylinders
-
Visually inspect the boiler flue system (including loft space if required)
-
Check the pressure vessel inside the boiler
-
Provide you with a gas safety certificate
