Landlords Gas Safety Certificates – Please check them!

Regulations state that on a  landlord’s gas safety certificate for  an appliance to be ticked  “safe to use”  the appliance must be serviced .  In a nutshell if an appliance is not serviced a “N/A” will appear  in the box which says “safe to use”.

It is not a legal requirement for appliances to be serviced but the manufacturers’  warranties do usually state that it should  be serviced every year.

We are very keen on this subject as the welfare of our tenants and landlords are at stake. We STRONGLY encourage landlords to service their appliances on an annual basis for commonsense reasons…..and particularly as we all want the gas man to state in black and white that the appliance is safe to use!!!!
