London is the capital and largest city of England and the United Kingdom. It stands on the River Thames in south-east England at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) estuary down to the North Sea, and has been a major settlement for two millennia. The City of London, its ancient core and financial centre, was founded by the Romans as Londinium and retains boundaries close to its medieval ones. Since the 19th century, "London" has also referred to the metropolis around this core, historically split between the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent, and Hertfordshire, which largely makes up Greater London, the region governed by the Greater London Authority. The City of Westminster, to the west of the City, has for centuries held the national government and parliament.

Gas Safety Certificate is required for every rental property that has any type of gas appliance, for example, gas boiler, gas hob or even a gas fire. Gas Safe Registered can only provide these safety certificates.
How often do you need a landlord electrical certificate? Every five years. In England, Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords are required to have the electrical installations in their properties inspected and tested, at least every five years, by a person who is qualified and competent.
Every electrical installation deteriorates both with use and over time, so it is important that every installation is periodically inspected and tested by a competent person to ensure that the safety of persons using the installation is not put at risk. The results of the test and inspection are clearly detailed in a report together with a list of "observations" which are items noted during the test that identify any damage, defects, deterioration or dangerous conditions within the installation. For ease of understanding, these observations are currently coded with a number from 1 to 4. With the forthcoming EICR, this numbering system is to replaced by codes C1 to C3. These codes relate to a set of clear guidance notes given to the recipient of the report allowing them to accurately assess the condition of their electrical installation and to make a decision about any remedial works required.
Whilst there is no direct or specific law requiring testing and inspection of electrical installations to be carried out, there are various duties imposed upon employers, landlords and persons responsible for premises which require them to provide a safe place of work. Insurance providers are also increasingly requesting evidence of electrical test and inspections as a condition of providing cover and often this requirement is hidden among the small print on the policy schedule. Unfortunately, it is only when a claim is made that this requirement comes to light and the claimant discovers, to their dismay, that they are not covered under the terms of their policy.
In April 1990, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EAW) came into force, their purpose being to require precautions to be taken against the risk of death or personal injury from electricity in work activities. One of the most important parts of this legislation (outlined under Regulation 4) relates to the requirement to select, construct, operate and maintain electrical systems in a manner so as prevent danger.
A test and inspection regime in accordance with BS7671:2008 (as amended) is recognised by the Health & Safety Executive as an effective way of conforming with the requirements of the EAW Regulations in regard to maintaining electrical systems and is especially useful in as much that it provides a written record of the condition of an installation at the time of the test. Similarly, if someone is considering alterations or additions to their electrical installations, carrying out a test & inspection beforehand, especially if no previous records exist, can ultimately save time and money.
Always ensure all your gas appliances and your gas boiler are properly maintained and serviced. If you use the services of a local plumber make sure that they are Gas Safe registered, they should be able to give you their registration number and some ID.
Incorrectly installed gas appliance can be very dangerous and lead to tragic consequences. If you think that any appliance in your house or the house of relatives or friends have been incorrectly installed, call out a local Gas Safe plumber. Why? Well here is a summary of news report from the Coventry Times which shows how seriously Local Trading Standards Officers regard installation of gas appliances:
A Leamington Spa plumbing and heating company owner has been fined £5,000 after a gas fire installed by his company was found to be unsafe. He appeared at Rugby magistrates court on Nov 25th. This court appearance followed the installation of an inset gas fire by one of his workers last year. The house owner did not like the look of the installation pipework and decided to call out an inspector from the Gas Safe Register, the official organization for gas safety throughout the UK.
The inspector found that the inset fire had been installed over the remains of an old back boiler, which should have been removed. An official complaint was made and the gas fire supply was disconnected until remedial work was completed the fire deemed to be safe and re-inspection made. An official complaint was submitted and Warwickshire County Council's Trading Standards conducted an investigation leading to the prosecution.
Cllr Richard Hobbs, in charge of community safety, emphasized that imperfectly installed gas appliances could have devastating consequences. He said: "It is vital that plumbing and heating engineers take their responsibilities seriously and ensure that gas appliances are properly installed."
The gas installer admitted his firm did not have any procedures in place to ensure work was adequately checked because "it was a relatively new firm and he did not know what procedures were required". He further stated "the company now had procedures in place to check gas appliances following installation, and two employees had been retrained in fitting gas fires". The installer pleaded guilty to one consumer protection regulation offence for which he was fined £500 and one health and safety offence for which he was fined £2,700. He was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £15 and a contribution to costs of £1,800.
Stay safe! Always ensure your local plumber is Gas Safe registered. Remember to get your appliances and boiler serviced regularly.
