Homeowner Gas Safety Checks

Protect Your Home with a Professional Gas Safety Check

A professional gas safety check ensures your boiler, cooker and gas appliances are operating safely and efficiently.

We provide thorough homeowner gas safety checks carried out by a fully qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.

Why Homeowners Should Consider Gas Safety Checks

Gas appliances operate under pressure and high temperatures. Over time, components can wear or deteriorate. A safety inspection helps to:

Regular checks provide peace of mind and protect your household.

What Is Included in a Homeowner Gas Safety Check?

During a homeowner inspection, we assess:

Appliance & Pipework Checks

During the gas safety inspection, all gas appliances and associated gas pipework are thoroughly checked to ensure they are installed correctly and operating safely.

Gas Tightness & Combustion

We carry out gas tightness testing and assess combustion performance to confirm there are no leaks and that appliances are burning gas efficiently and safely.

Flue & Ventilation Inspection

Flue integrity and ventilation are carefully inspected to ensure harmful gases are safely expelled and adequate airflow is maintained at all times.

Safety Controls & Advice

All safety devices and controls are tested as part of the inspection. If any appliance fails, we clearly explain the issue and provide professional advice on the necessary next steps before any action is taken.

Carbon Monoxide Safety

Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless. Faulty gas appliances can produce dangerous levels without obvious warning. A gas safety check ensures:

We recommend homeowners install carbon monoxide alarms as an additional safety measure.

How Often Is a CP12 Required?

While gas safety checks are not legally required for homeowners, it is recommended to have all gas appliances inspected annually. This is especially important if the boiler has not been serviced recently, the property is older, you have recently purchased the home, notice unusual odours, or appliances are ageing. Regular checks help detect potential issues early and ensure safe operation.

Routine gas safety inspections also provide peace of mind, confirming that appliances are functioning correctly. They help prevent unexpected faults, extend the lifespan of appliances, and maintain the overall efficiency and safety of your home’s gas systems.

Gas Safety Check vs Boiler Servicing

A boiler service primarily focuses on performance, efficiency, and preventative maintenance, ensuring that your heating system operates reliably and at optimal levels. It helps identify potential issues before they become major problems, extending the lifespan of your boiler and reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns.

A gas safety check, on the other hand, focuses specifically on safety compliance and risk assessment, confirming that all gas appliances and installations are safe to use. Many homeowners choose to combine both services during a single visit for convenience and complete peace of mind.
