Gas Safety Certificates for London Properties

The record lists the gas appliances and flues included in the booked inspection.

It includes the inspection date and the details of the engineer who completed the check.

Any safety concern, classification or recommended action is shown on the record.

The engineer checks for signs that combustion is not taking place as expected.

Appliances that rely on permanent ventilation need suitable airflow to operate safely.

Flues and relevant extraction arrangements must allow combustion products to leave the premises correctly.

The relevant landlord-owned appliances and flues must be checked every twelve months.

Existing tenants receive a copy within 28 days. New tenants receive the current record before moving in.

The landlord must keep each Gas Safety Record for at least two years.

The agreed inspection may cover the gas-fired equipment listed before the visit.

Relevant ventilation and extraction arrangements are considered as part of the inspection scope.

Accessible isolation, pipework and control arrangements are checked where they form part of the booked work.

A defect may need a separate appointment before the appliance can return to normal use.

New or replacement appliances are arranged as a separate installation service.

Servicing covers maintenance work outside the scope of the Gas Safety Certificate.
