Why Gas Safety Checks Matter
Gas appliances such as boilers, cookers, and fires are common in Ealing properties.
If not properly maintained, they can cause carbon monoxide poisoning,
gas leaks, fires, or explosions.
A gas safety check carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer ensures
all appliances, pipework, and flues are operating safely and efficiently.
Legal Obligations for Ealing Landlords
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998,
landlords must arrange an annual gas safety inspection.
- Annual checks by a Gas Safe engineer
- Provide tenants with a CP12 certificate within 28 days
- Keep records for at least two years
- Ensure all repairs are carried out by qualified professionals
Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £6,000 per offence,
imprisonment, invalid insurance, and serious tenant safety risks.
The Risks of Neglecting Gas Safety Checks
Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the most dangerous risks.
It is colourless, odourless, and often goes unnoticed until serious harm occurs.
Gas leaks and ageing pipework are also common issues in older Ealing properties,
making regular inspections essential.
