What Is a Gas Safety Check?
A gas safety check is a detailed inspection of your gas system to ensure:
✔ Your appliances are functioning properly.
✔ There are no gas leaks or carbon monoxide emissions.
✔ All safety devices work correctly.
✔ Your ventilation and chimneys are clear.
This inspection is different from a boiler service. While a service gas safety check focuses on efficiency and maintenance, a safety check is legally required for landlords and recommended annually for homeowners.
What Does It Include?
A qualified engineer will conduct the following checks:
- Visual Inspection of Appliances
- Check for damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
- Ensure proper ventilation.
- Gas Pressure & Flow Test
- Measure pressure to confirm safe operation.
- Identify leaks, blockages, or irregularities.
- Flue & Chimney Inspection
- Verify safe removal of harmful gases.
- Ensure vents are clear.
- Carbon Monoxide Detection
- Test for dangerous CO leaks.
- Recommend CO alarms for added safety.
- Safety Device & Shut-Off Valve Testing
- Confirm automatic shut-off mechanisms are working.
- Inspect gas supply lines.
- Combustion Analysis
- Ensure efficient and safe gas burning.
- Identify excess carbon emissions.
A full inspection ensures compliance with UK regulations and provides peace of mind.
