When it comes to keeping your property safe, gas safety checks and boiler servicing are non-negotiable. Whether you're a landlord, facilities manager, or homeowner, staying compliant isn't just about ticking a box, it's about protecting lives and avoiding costly breakdowns.

What Is a Gas Safety Check?

A gas safety check is a legal requirement for landlords and a recommended safety measure for all gas appliance users. A qualified Gas Safe registered engineer inspects appliances, pipework and flues to ensure everything is operating safely.

For landlords, this must be done annually and documented via a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate.

What Happens During a Boiler Service?

A boiler service is a preventative check that helps your heating system run efficiently and safely. It typically includes:

• Visual inspection of the boiler

• Checking pressure, seals and pipework

• Cleaning key components (e.g. burner and heat exchanger)

• Flue and combustion analysis

• Identifying early signs of wear or failure

Servicing your boiler once a year helps extend its lifespan, lowers energy bills and reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns.

What Should You Consider?

When booking your gas check or boiler service, make sure:

• The engineer is Gas Safe registered

• You receive a detailed report or certificate

• You service annually, not just when something breaks

• You keep records for legal or insurance purposes

For businesses, regular servicing may also be required under health and safety regulations — especially in commercial catering environments.
