Gas Safe Certificates
Our Gas Safe engineers are fully trained to provide landlord, homeowner and commercial gas safe certificates, as well as other gas and boiler services.
Why have a gas safety check?
Faulty or poorly maintained gas appliances, such as boilers and gas hobs, can have disastrous and deadly consequences.
It is recommended by the Gas Safe authority that a gas safety check is carried out on a annual basis, and that work on any gas appliance is only done by a registered gas safe engineer. Most noteworthy is that it is the law for landlords to have an annual gas safe certificate.
Details provided by the Gas Safe authority state that 5.5 million Brits fail to get an annual gas safety check, which could be putting their health and finances at risk. There were 67,000 gas emergency call outs last year (2015) in the UK, and 1 in 6 gas appliances were found to be unsafe out of the 142,000 homes inspected in the past 5 years.
Furthermore details provided by the NHS state that over 40 deaths, 300 injuries and over 200 admitted to hospital last year due to suspect carbon monoxide poisoning.
Important for landlords: In 1996 the government passed a law that requires all landlords who rent either part or all of a property, to have all household gas appliances and pipes checked every 12 months with a landlord gas safe certificate.
