Landlord Services

As a landlord, you are legally responsible for the safety of your tenants in relation to gas safety.

Gas Safety Checks

As a landlord, you are legally responsible for the safety of your tenants in relation to gas safety.

By law you must:

  • Repair and maintain gas pipework, flues and appliances in safe condition.
  • Ensure an annual gas safety check on each appliance and flue.
  • Keep a record of each safety check.

You should also keep your tenants informed about their responsibilities whilst they are staying in your property.

At APG, our engineers are qualified to issue the Landlord’s Gas Safety Certificate (LGSC) and if necessary service the appliance first. We will send you an annual advance reminder and will liaise directly with the tenant on your behalf to arrange the annual inspection and if needed, quote for any required remedial work.

A gas safety check is a procedure carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure that gas appliances, fittings, and flues in a property are safe to use and operate correctly. The check is essential for maintaining safety and preventing potential hazards such as gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and explosions. Here are the key components of a gas safety check:

  1. Inspection of Gas Appliances: The engineer will inspect all gas appliances, such as boilers, ovens, stoves, and gas fires, to ensure they are functioning properly and safely.
  2. Check for Gas Leaks: The engineer will use specialized equipment to detect any gas leaks in the property and take necessary action to repair them.
  3. Carbon Monoxide Levels: The engineer will check for the presence of carbon monoxide, a dangerous, odorless gas that can be produced by faulty gas appliances. They will ensure that all appliances are burning gas correctly and that there is no risk of carbon monoxide leakage.
  4. Ventilation: Proper ventilation is crucial for the safe operation of gas appliances. The engineer will check that there is adequate ventilation and that vents and flues are not blocked or obstructed.
  5. Flue and Chimney Inspection: The engineer will inspect flues and chimneys to ensure they are in good condition, correctly fitted, and allowing gases to safely escape from the property.
  6. Safety Devices: The engineer will check that safety devices, such as carbon monoxide detectors and pressure relief valves, are functioning correctly and are appropriately placed.
  7. Gas Pressure and Flow: The engineer will measure the gas pressure and flow to ensure it meets the manufacturer’s specifications for each appliance, ensuring efficient and safe operation.
  8. Compliance with Regulations: The engineer will ensure that all gas appliances and installations comply with current safety standards and regulations.

Importance of Regular Gas Safety Checks

  • Landlord Responsibilities: Landlords are legally required to conduct annual gas safety checks on rental properties and provide tenants with a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12).
  • Homeowners: Although not legally required for homeowners, regular gas safety checks are recommended to ensure the safety and efficiency of gas appliances.

After the Gas Safety Check

After the gas safety check, the engineer will provide a report detailing the results of the inspection. If any issues are identified, they will recommend necessary repairs or maintenance. It's crucial to address any issues promptly to maintain the safety of the property and its occupants.

Regular gas safety checks are vital for ensuring the safe operation of gas appliances and preventing potential hazards in the home.
