Gas Safety Reports
In 1996 the government made law that all landlords who rent part, or all of a property, must have all gas appliances and pipe work checked and certified to prove that the gas appliances met gas safety standards. This must be done every 12 months. These apply to all gas appliances that are used to cook, heat and refridgerate in the property.
Aspect Maintenance carries out Brighton Gas Safety certificate inspections and are able to provide the corresponding certificates for landlords, once appliances have been checked and passed criteria.
What does a Landlord Gas Safety Inspection
Include?
An Aspect gas engineer operating under our Gas Safe Register
(previously Corgi) accreditation will check the following during a
Landlord gas safety inspection:
1. Check appliance for gas tightness.
2. Check standing and working pressure if test points
available.
3. Check burner pressure / gas rate against manufacturers data
plate.
4. Check for satisfactory provision of all necessary
ventilation.
5. Test flue flow to ensure removal of products of
combustion.
6. Check satisfactory operation of all the flame failure
devices.
7. Check for physical stability, presence and effectiveness of
stability brackets (where appropriate).
8. Investigate any evidence of unsafe operation and report to
a responsible person. An appliance can not be deemed as having been
checked, until the above has been completed.
Once you have passed your gas safety certification, we will schedule with you to return every 12 months to the property to keep your gas safety certificate up to date for your tenants.
