Frequently Asked Questions
At Gaslec, our Gas Safe registered engineers will be happy to complete your annual gas safety check to ensure your gas equipment is safe.
Is a gas safety check a legal requirement?
For private landlords, housing associations, schools, colleges, hotels, hostels, local authority buildings, B&B owners, and holiday rental owners, an annual gas safety check is required by law. The annual gas safety check will test all gas appliances and issue a Gas Safety Certificate. A gas safety check must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
If you are a private landlord, you are only responsible for any gas appliances that you have provided. If tenants provide their own gas appliance, such as a free standing oven, they are responsible for its safety.
Homeowners are not required by law to have a gas safety check. It is advisable but not compulsory.
What is tested in a gas safety check?
A gas safety check exists to protect inhabitants from possible poisoning from carbon monoxide or other harmful gases. It also helps to safeguard against property fires and inefficient appliances leading to raised carbon emissions. A gas safety check will test to ensure:
That all gas appliances are operating at the correct pressure
Gas is being burned correctly
There is enough air flow to the appliances
All flues and chimneys are clear and safely emit fumes to the property’s exterior
Any safety cut out devices are working properly
