Landlord Gas Safety Certificate

Legally a landlord must always have a current certificate showing that a Gas Safe registered engineer has checked and tested all gas appliances in their property. From a safety point of view, carbon monoxide is one of the biggest concerns. It’s a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas that can be deadly if allowed to accumulate in a room. Carbon monoxide is created in the process of burning fuel and an undetected leak can prove fatal. Checking appliances for carbon monoxide leaks is a key part of the landlord certificate. In addition to checking for carbon monoxide, all gas appliances have a safety inspection ensuring that there are no faults that could endanger tenants. Once the inspection has been completed, a full report and the certificate are given to the landlord. If it’s discovered that any work is required, we will provide a competitive quote, talk you through what is required and make sure that your property is safe before we leave.
