Landlord safety certificates from Cardiff Plumbers

ARE LAW AND NEED TO BE DONE WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER

 

GAS SAFETY REGULATIONS - Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, landlords are under a duty to maintain in a safe condition any relevant gas fitting and any flue which serves any relevant gas fitting. This includes items such as gas fires, gas cookers, central heating boilers, water heaters and swimming pool boilers.

Safety checks must be carried out every twelve months. These checks and any repairs or maintenance must be carried out by a GAS SAFE registered engineer .

If there is more than one appliance in the property, each individual appliance must be checked and the results of the check must be recorded in a gas safety certificate.

 

What checks do we carry out for a Gas Safety Inspection Service?

1. Check for good ventilation.

2. Check all appliances for gas soundness.

3. Check standing and working pressure if test points available.

4. Check burner pressure / gas rate against manufacturer’s data plate.

5. Testing of flue flow.

6. Check operation of all flame failure devices.

7. Check for stability and effectiveness of brackets (if appropriate).

8. Ensure that the person responsible for the appliance is made aware if the appliance is unsafe.

9. A soundness test should be carried out on the full system, if a Gas Safety Certificate is to be issued.

10. Any Landlords or Property Agents, who rent part or all of a property, must ensure that all household gas appliances and related pipe work are thoroughly serviced and checked every 12 months.

11. PLUMBER WALES registered engineers will carry out the required Inspection Service on all gas appliances and issue a “Landlord’s Gas Safety Record Form” certificate. It is vital that any existing tenant or new tenant is given this certificate. Landlords must keep their copies for up to one year.

12. If PLUMBER WALES  find they need to carry out any repairs, permission will be gained from the Landlord, so that PLUMBER WALES can record that remedial action has been taken, and that the premises and the appliances are then safe for use.

There are two types of gas, the one that is the most popular natural gas that most town houses have the other gas is L.P.G.This is usually the gas used when natural gas is not available.  There are a few differences between L.P.G to natural gas.

 

L.P.G gas is heavier that air so if you have a leak on L.P.G it will not rise like natural gas it sits around the floor space.

 

Also the operating pressure of L.P.G is higher than natural gas.

 

The boilers that we supply can do both natural gas & L.P.G
