If you are a landlord, you will know that you are responsible for the safety of your tenants. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 deal with landlords’ duties to make sure gas appliances, fittings and flues provided for tenants are safe.

Our Gas Safe Registered engineer will inspect the gas meter, pipework and appliances in your property to help ensure that you are compliant with the current legislation. This must be performed every 12 months.

• Flue flow and spillage testing where appropriate for correct operation of flue
• All flame supervision devices and/or other safety controls for correct operation
• Investigate any evidence of unsafe operation of appliances
• Tightness test of the installation is recommended.

What isn't included in the annual gas safety check?
