Range of Safety Inspection Services

We offer a range of gas safety inspection services, including:

  • Annual Gas Safety Check: These checks involve a thorough inspection of your appliances, including the flues, pipes, and controls.
  • Boiler service: This service involves cleaning, inspecting, and adjusting your boiler to ensure that it is working efficiently and safely.
  • Gas leak repairs: If we find a gas leak during an inspection, we will repair it immediately.

What Happens During a Gas Safety Check

Gas safety is an integral aspect of home and commercial safety measures, designed to protect individuals from the risks associated with faulty or non-compliant gas installations. A gas safety check, often referred to as a CP12 certificate, is a thorough inspection conducted by a Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure all gas appliances, pipes, and flues in a property are safe to use. The gas engineer will record each gas appliance and whether or not they are safe to use at the time of inspection.

During the check, the gas engineer will:

  • Test the appliances for gas tightness.
  • Check the standing and working pressure.
  • Verify burner pressure/gas rate against the manufacturer’s data plate.
  • Inspect ventilation provisions.
  • Perform a flue flow test to ensure the safe removal of combustion products.
  • Confirm the safety devices are working properly.
  • Visually inspect the appliances for any signs of unsafe operation.

Which Appliances are Tested During a Gas Safety Check

During a gas safety check, a gas-safe engineer examines all gas-fuelled appliances in your property to ensure they are safe and functioning correctly. Here are the types of appliances that are typically inspected:

  • Boilers: Boilers are tested for leaks, correct pressure, and efficient operation. The flue is checked on your gas boiler to ensure that it is safely removing combustion gases, and the safety devices are examined for correct operation.
  • Gas Cookers and Ovens: These are checked for safe operation, including the condition of the appliance, stability, and effectiveness of the flame supervision device (which cuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out).
  • Gas Hobs: The qualified engineer will check the condition of the gas hob, the stability, the safety of the ignition switch, and the flame picture for correct combustion.
  • Gas Water Heaters: These are checked for correct operation, leaks, and the safe removal of combustion gases. The safety devices, such as the flame supervision device, are also inspected.
  • Gas Pipework: Gas pipework is inspected to ensure there are no leaks and that gas is being safely delivered to your appliances.

Issuing Gas Safety Certificates

After successfully completing the gas safety check, the engineer will issue a CP12 certificate (also known as a Landlord Gas Safety Record). This document verifies that all gas installations in the property meet the necessary safety standards. The gas certificate includes details about the property, the gas appliances checked, any defect identified and actions taken to fix it, as well as confirmation of the operational safety of all your gas appliances.

At Mayfair Plumbers, we offer certified gas safety checks for both domestic and commercial properties, ensuring your gas systems are secure, efficient, and legally compliant. We can issue the following gas safety certificates:

  • CP12 – Homeowner / Landlord Gas Safety Record
  • CP17 – Gas Installation Safety Report (Applicable for non-domestic properties, but similar checks are performed for domestic premises as part of the CP12 certification)
  • CP42 – Commercial Catering Inspection Record
