Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gas safety certificate?

As a landlord, you are legally obligated to ensure all gas appliances in your rental property are safe and don’t pose any risk to your tenants.

During a gas safety check, a Gas Safe registered engineer will visually inspect all gas appliances and systems – like the cooker, hob and boiler. Some of the key things the check involves:

  • A visual inspection of gas appliances, the gas heating system and the boiler flue system
  • A tightness test at the gas meter to make sure there aren’t any leaks
  • Checking the ventilation and air supply
  • Checking the gas rate and burner pressure
  • Ensure safety devices are working
  • Checking the pressure vessel inside the boiler

How much does a gas safety certificate cost?

For properties based in York we charge £75+vat (or £105+vat with a boiler service).

How long does a gas safety check take?

Depending on how many gas appliances there are it can be anywhere between 1 and 2 hours.
