A gas safety check is an annual inspection carried out by a registered Gas Safe engineer to ensure that gas appliances, flues, and pipework in a property are operating safely. The engineer checks for leaks, proper ventilation, and correct appliance operation to prevent gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Legally, landlords must have a gas safety check carried out every 12 months on their properties. Although not required by law, homeowners and businesses are strongly advised to have annual checks. Regular checks help maintain the safety and efficiency of gas appliances and prevent potential problems.
A gas safety check will typically include every gas appliance within the property, such as boilers, ovens, hobs and fireplaces. The engineer will also check the associated pipework, flues, and ventilation systems to ensure everything is functioning correctly and safely.
A gas safety check is a legal requirement that ensures gas appliances are safe to use, focusing on essential safety aspects like leak detection and ventilation. A service is a more thorough maintenance procedure that includes cleaning, adjusting, and fine-tuning appliances to improve their performance and efficiency.
If a gas safety check identifies a problem, the Gas Safe engineer near you will inform you of the issue and might label the appliance as unsafe to use. Depending on the severity, the engineer could disconnect the appliance until repairs are made. You would then need to book in for the repairs to be made.
