Gas Testing
When letting property all gas appliances and flues must be tested annually in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. The responsibility for arranging this rests upon the Landlord or if specified in the managing contract, the Managing Agents.
Essex Energy Services will undertake your responsibilities Gas Safety Testing and also ensure that you are reminded at least 30 days prior to renewal. If required we can also arrange for the servicing of your gas appliances, the installation of new boilers and central heating systems and repair work. However, should any faults be found at the time of testing we would always invite you to obtain alternative quotations elsewhere for any work required.
Occupiers of commercial properties, whether employers or self-employed also have a legal duty under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and must ensure that any gas appliance, installation pipework or flue installed in their workplace is maintained in a safe condition. Such equipment must be maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions, which will often mean that an annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer is required.
