Landlord Safety Certificates

Landlord Safety Certificates

Simon Turner Gas offer complete Safety Checks for rented accommodation. It is a legal requirement for Landlords to maintain all appliances and flues which are provided for tenants to use and have them checked for safety at least once every 12 months by a CORGI registered installer.



A typical safety inspection by Simon Turner Gas engineers will include the following checks to ensure that the appliance is safe to use and meets the legal requirements:-

Appliance operating pressure or heat input, or where necessary both
Correct operation of safety devices
Ensure adequate ventilation is available where required
Visual examination of the flue system
Where applicable, results of a flue flow test
Where applicable, results of a spillage test
Ensure flue termination is satisfactory
The appliance is safe to use

Once the appropriate checks have been made a check list list will be made that typically includes:-

The date the appliance or flue was examined and the address where the appliance is installed.
The landlords details (name, address and, where necessary managing agents details)
Description and location of the appliance or flue.
Recognition of and recording of any defects.
The name and signature of the gas operative and the CORGI registration number of the engineer.

On completion of the above safety checks the gas engineer will accurately record the findings on the Landlord/Homeowner Gas Safety Record. This document is in 3 parts. One to be kept by the Landlord, one to be issued to the tenants and the third to be kept by the gas engineer.
