Gas Testing - Landlords
As a landlord you have a duty under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 to arrange maintenance by a Gas Safe registered installer for all pipe work, appliances and flues, which you own and have provided for your tenants use. You must also arrange for an annual gas safety check to be carried out every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered installer. You must keep a record of the safety check for 2 years and issue a copy to each existing tenant within 28 days of the check being completed and issue a copy to any new tenants before they move in.
Essex Energy Services can undertake all of the required testing and inspection work alongside servicing, repairs and installations of boilers, gas fires and central heating systems. We will also remind you at least 30 days prior to the renewal of testing in order to ensure that all certification is kept up to date.
We will contact your tenants directly and arrange for testing to be undertaken at a time convenient to them, reporting back to you immediately should any defects be found. Special rates are available for property portfolios.

Remember, neglected gas boilers can be a principal source of leaks and CO (carbon monoxide). Regular servicing alongside your annual Gas Safety Check not only protects your tenants but also extends the life of the boiler and ensures economic running.
