Landlord Gas Safety Certificates in Warrington

Understanding Your Legal Responsibilities as a Widnes Landlord

The law states that every landlord in Widnes (and across the UK) must make sure all gas appliances in their rented property are safe. This means arranging a gas safety inspection every 12 months. You also need to give a copy of this certificate to your current tenants within 28 days of the check, and to new tenants when they move in. Failing to do this can lead to big fines and even prosecution, but more importantly, it puts lives at risk. Plumbing and Heating Warrington helps you meet these duties easily and dependably.

What Our Gas Safety Inspection Involves for Your Widnes Property

When our Gas Safe Registered engineer visits your Widnes property, they carry out a thorough inspection of all gas appliances, pipework, and flues. This usually includes your boiler, gas cooker, and any other gas fires. We check that everything is working safely and efficiently, looking for any leaks, blockages, or faulty components. We also test for proper ventilation and make sure carbon monoxide detectors are in place if needed. Our aim is to give you and your tenants complete peace of mind.
