1. Boilers – The Heart of the Heating System

Boilers are often the most essential gas appliance in the home. During an inspection, our qualified engineers thoroughly check the boiler’s:

• Burner pressure and heat output

• Ventilation and flue integrity

• Gas tightness and pressure

• Signs of corrosion or leakage

• Operational safety features

A faulty boiler can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning or inefficient heating, so we ensure yours meets all current regulations.

2. Gas Cookers and Ovens – Everyday Essentials

Cookers and ovens are daily-use appliances, making their safe operation vital. At Citywide Plumbers, our inspection includes:

• Flame failure safety checks

• Correct burner flame appearance

• Secure connection to the gas supply

• Proper ventilation and extraction

Whether it’s a standalone cooker or a built-in oven, we ensure it's functioning without risks.

3. Gas Hobs – Small but Powerful

Gas hobs, though smaller, still require attention. We check:

• Ignition systems

• Gas pressure

• Flame colour and stability

• Control knobs and safety shut-off systems

If there's even the slightest irregularity in the hob’s function, it could indicate a bigger issue, which our team will address promptly.

4. Gas Fires – Often Overlooked

Gas fires add comfort but are often neglected when it comes to maintenance. Our gas safety inspection will:

• Examine the flue and chimney flow

• Check for obstructions

• Test for spillage or backdraft

• Inspect the flame picture and ventilation

A blocked or malfunctioning gas fire can lead to deadly carbon monoxide leaks, which is why this check is essential.

5. Gas Water Heaters

Though not as common as boilers, some London homes still use separate gas water heaters. These are thoroughly checked for:

• Combustion performance

• Pressure settings

• Safety thermostat function

• Water pressure and flow consistency

We ensure your hot water system is safe and compliant with modern standards.

6. Gas Pipework & Tightness Test

It’s not just the appliances themselves. Our gas safety checks also include:

• Full system gas tightness tests

• Inspection of pipework for corrosion or leaks

• Verification of adequate earth bonding and isolation points

We leave no stone unturned when it comes to your safety.
