4 simple steps to get a gas safety certificate in London
A landlord gas safety inspection that takes care of everything
Safety is a top priority
In order to ensure their unquestionable safety, all gas installations and appliances should be checked periodically by a certified specialist. And having a recently issued homeowner gas safety certificate is the ultimate proof that the appliances are indeed in optimal condition. And keep in mind that the law also states that the landlord is responsible for the safety of their tenants.
Important: The 1998 Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulation states that landlords should make sure that the gas appliances, fittings, and flues are perfectly safe for the tenants.

Here's what the gas safe registered engineers can do for you
- Test the tightness of each gas-based appliance
- Check the burner's pressure and compare it to the manufacturer's info plate
- Test the working and standing pressures of all available points
- Take a look at the ventilation routes (including the chimney and flues)
- Check the flue flow to determine if the harmful gases are being removed
- Determine if the flame failure and the safety mechanisms work
- The stability brackets are carefully examined

If the specialist finds a fault in your gas system, he will include it in the report along with the most appropriate repair recommendations. However, thanks to the regular appliance service you will be able to avoid costly repairs.
Important note: According to the law, flues in voids must be installed with inspection hatches. If this feature is not present, then your gas boiler will be turned off and classified as “at risk” until the necessary corrections are performed.
