Expert Gas Safety Certificate In Wigan, Wigan

As a landlord, the law is very clear: you must ensure all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in your rented property are maintained in a safe condition. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require you to have these checked by a qualified Gas Safe engineer every 12 months. After this inspection, you'll receive a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), which you then need to provide to your tenants. Ignoring this isn't just risky for your tenants' safety; it can lead to serious legal consequences, including heavy fines or even imprisonment. We're here to help you stay on the right side of the law, protecting both your tenants and your investment in Wigan.

When our Gas Safe engineer visits your Wigan property for a gas safety check, they're not just looking for problems; they're meticulously checking for safety. Here's a quick rundown of what we do: we'll thoroughly inspect all gas appliances (like your boiler, gas hob, oven, or gas fire) to make sure they're working correctly and safely. We'll check the flues and ventilation to ensure harmful gases are venting away properly. We'll also examine the gas pipework for any leaks or corrosion and confirm that all safety devices are functioning as they should. Our main goal is to identify any potential risks, like carbon monoxide leaks, and give you the confidence that your property is safe for your tenants.
