Gas Safety Checks Plymouth

MSH Plumbing & Heating provide Gas Safety checks in Plymouth and the surrounding areas.

If you’re a landlord, it’s your responsibility to make sure a Gas Safety check is completed every 12 months. This is often referred to as a Landlord Safety Certificate. You are also responsible for the maintenance of any pipework and flues in the property. All Gas appliances that you provide for your tenants will come under your legal responsibility. However, if your tenant has installed or uses any appliances that you did not provide, you are only responsible for the associated pipework or installation that you might have provided.

Ensure that you keep a record of all certification for a minimum of two years and provide your tenant with a copy of the certificate. Any new tenants should be issued with a copy before they move into the property.

You as a landlord are responsible for the safety of your tenants whilst they live in your property.

The Gas Safety Regulations Act 1998 states that you must ensure all flues, fittings and appliances you provide are safe for use by your tenant. Boilers, in particular, can release harmful gasses into the air if they are not properly serviced. Other problems can arise if the flue is not fitted correctly or seals are worn over time.

At MSH Plumbing and Heating, we charge £75.00 (including VAT) for the Landlord’s Safety Check and Certificate. We have gas safe engineers based in Plymouth, Tavistock, Bodmin and Torquay who can carry the work out for you.
