Landlords Inspections
I undertake both domestic and commercial gas safety inspections.
A gas safety inspection usualy takes 1- 1.5 hours, and are done at a fixed price, dependent on the number and type of appliances.
It is always worth having a professional do a safety inspection, not only will the appliances be checked properly, but also any easy rectifiable issues will get resolved at the same time. Feel free to call and discuss your system with me before I come if you have any concerns. This way I can be prepared for any issues.
Examples of things I would rectify in a safety check
- Fit an isolation valve to a hob if missing
- Fit a cooker chain to a cooker if not present
- Adjust burner pressure if wrong
- Clean jets on a hob if dirty
- And others Please be aware I am not going to resurect a dangerous system for free, I wont however fail a system for minor issues that can be fixed easily on site. Parts will be charged .
Tips
Gas fires
A gas fire in a rental property can be a liability. Its an open flued appliance so potentialy risky at the best of times, Unless absolutely neccessary, consider removing it.
