Services - Gas, Heating and Hot Water

Landlords Gas Safety certificate £70 + vat

Badly installed or maintained gas appliances can cause CO faults. Legislation requires the landlord to carry out a gas safety inspection on all gas appliances at least once every 12 months. The servicing/inspecting must be carried out by a Council of Registered Gas Installers (CORGI) engineer. Carbon monoxide (CO), is a gas which is highly poisonous. It has no colour, smell or taste and so can be difficult to recognise. With enough air, burning domestic fuels produce carbon dioxide and water vapour in safe amounts and these products are normally taken away by a chimney or flue. However, if there is too little air and the air vent, chimney or flue is blocked, any carbon monoxide produced cannot escape. Look out for stains, soot or discolouration around a gas fire. There should not be a strange unusual smell when a gas appliance is on. The flame on a gas fire or heater should not burn yellow or orange.

Remember - never attempt to repair a gas appliance yourself and never block up air vents, even if there is a draught.

Boiler servicing £70 including vat

Many people think that if a boiler is working it doesn't need any attention but that is not true, if a boiler's not serviced annually, it and the flue will gradually start to get blocked and become less efficient. The boiler will have to work harder to produce the same heat. The result is higher gas consumption - and bills and a greater chance of build-up of deadly carbon monoxide (CO).
