We carry out Landlord Gas Safety Checks throughout Lancs. We take these very seriously and do our checks by the book. Why? Because tenants lives depend on it! We test all gas appliances, test the gas pipework for leaks, we smoke test every flue and test all gas fires to make sure that the products of combustion (CO – Carbon Monoxide) are being removed correctly. During our tests we also check boilers to make sure that seals are in good shape, flues are in the correct location and not plugged up, we check the gas pressure at the appliances and all cookers and hobs are also checked to make sure that safety devices are properly functioning and that the flame picture (the look of the flame) is correct.

There is a lot to check in before we issue a Gas Safety Certificate but rest assured. If we issue one, the tenant is safe.
