LANDLORD GAS SAFETY CERTIFICATES

Our team has years of experience in carrying gas safety inspection services in rented properties for landlords and letting agencies. ​We take gas safety checks incredibly seriously and we will always ensure that your property and your tenants are safe.

On any rental property, a landlord gas safety certificate is a legal requirement. These inspections will ensure that you are compliant with the legal requirements and that your property and your tenants are kept safe from a gas emergency.

Here are some useful things to know:

Frequency of Inspection: Landlord Gas Safety Certificates must be obtained annually. It’s a legal requirement for landlords to have all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in their rental properties inspected every 12 months.

Properties Covered: These certificates are required for any residential property that is rented out and has gas appliances. This includes private rentals, housing associations, local authorities, hostels, and hotels.

What’s Inspected: The inspection covers all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in the property. This includes gas boilers, heaters, ovens, and fires.

Who Conducts the Inspection: Gas safety inspection services must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Only engineers on the Gas Safe Register are legally allowed to conduct these inspections.

Who Needs to See the Certificate: The landlord must provide a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. Landlords also need to keep a record of the safety check for two years.

Legal Implications: Failure to comply with gas safety regulations and not having a valid Gas Safety Certificate can result in significant fines or even imprisonment for landlords.

Gas Safety Inspection in Brighton and Hove FAQs

How often do I need to get a gas safety certificate?

Our gas safety inspection certificates are valid every 12 months. While it’s a legal requirement for landlords to ensure that their rented properties have an up-to-date landlord gas safety certificate, it’s a good idea to make sure you have a valid gas certificate even if you’re a homeowner.

What needs to be checked during a gas safety inspection?

If you need a Brighton gas safety inspection, one of our gas safety engineers will go through the above checks for your boiler and pipes. They need to make sure that it is operating properly and there are no safety issues.

​Additionally, if you have any other gas appliances, such as hobs, ovens and gas fireplaces, these will all need to be checked at the same time.

How Long Does it Take to Carry Out a Gas Safety Check?
Typically, a complete gas check should take around 1 hour. However, if our gas engineers find faults, they may need to do repairs then and there which will end up taking longer.
Is G&K Heating Gas Safe registered?
G&K Heating is Gas Safe registered – meaning that we’re in the register of individuals and companies certified to carry out gas repairs. The Gas Safety Register regulates and registers all gas engineers in the UK, Isle of Man and Guernsey.

​While a non-registered employee can carry out basic work such as installing a radiator, any work on a gas boiler itself must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

How is a gas safety inspection carried out?

A gas safety inspection is carried out by checking if the gas appliances are working properly during our engineers’ detailed inspection. We’ll check that your gas appliances are functioning how they should and that your tenants are not at risk from gas leaks. ​

Our heating engineers will also carry out a flue flow check. This is an important step of the gas safety inspection because it will ensure that the dangerous gases are being safely ventilated and removed from your property.

​We will make sure that your gas appliances are working properly and within the manufacturer’s specifications.

This includes checking the standing and working pressure, the gas rate and the working pressure. The heating engineer will also check the physical condition of the unit and any flame failures.
