Gas safety checks

We arrange annual landlord gas safety checks by Gas Safe registered engineers. Each gas appliance and flue you provide is checked, and you receive the gas safety record you must keep and give to your tenants.

When you need it

Landlords must have every gas appliance and flue they provide checked for safety by a Gas Safe registered engineer within 12 months of installation, and then at intervals of no more than 12 months. Before a new tenancy starts, the last check must have been done within the previous year.

Give existing tenants a copy of the record within 28 days of the check, and new tenants a copy before they move in. Keep each record until two further checks have been carried out.

A check can be done up to two months before it is due and still be treated as done on the due date, so you keep the same anniversary each year.

What is included

Included

  • Safety check of each gas appliance and flue you provide, by a Gas Safe registered engineer
  • Examination of flue effectiveness, combustion air supply, operating pressure or heat input, and safe operation
  • Landlord gas safety record, with any defects noted
  • A clear list of anything that needs putting right

Priced separately

  • Repairs, parts and replacement appliances
  • Appliance servicing
  • Checks of appliances owned by tenants
  • Electrical installation condition reports (EICR)

Your written quotation confirms the exact scope, what is included and any limits for your building.

What you receive

A landlord gas safety record listing each appliance and flue checked, the engineer’s name, registration number and signature, the date, and any defects found and action taken.

Sent as a PDF for your records. We can send copies to tenants or agents on request.

Our reports support your duties as owner, landlord or responsible person. They do not replace those duties.

How to prepare

  • Property address and number of gas appliances
  • Location of the gas meter and each appliance
  • Tenant contact details and access arrangements
  • The date of your last check, so the anniversary can be kept
  • Your previous gas safety record
  • Your name and address, or your agent’s, for the record

Send what you have. Missing details will not stop an enquiry; we will tell you anything still needed.

Questions

Can I have the check done early without losing time?

Yes. A check done in the two months before the due date is treated as done on the due date, so your anniversary stays the same.

Is a gas safety check the same as a service?

No. The safety check confirms that appliances and flues are safe to use. Servicing is maintenance and is priced separately, although landlords also have a duty to keep gas appliances and flues in a safe condition.

Who is responsible for a tenant’s own appliance?

The tenant is responsible for checking and maintaining an appliance they own. The landlord remains responsible for the pipework that serves it.

PAT testing

Available for any landlord, office, shop or site that needs it. A qualified tester inspects and tests portable electrical equipment where your risk assessment calls for it. How often depends on the type of equipment and how it is used; not every appliance needs an annual test.
