Gas Certification Services in Witney

A gas safety inspection helps to ensure that gas appliances are in good working order, are preforming efficiently and are safe to be used. Apart from the flammable nature of gas, we would like to remind you of the dangers of the ‘silent killer’ – Carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, poisonous gas which can be emitted by faulty appliances powered by any fuel that burns.

Our Gas Engineers are Gas Safe Registered and qualified to carry out gas safety inspections and provide Gas Safety Certificates for landlords, tenants and estate agents.

If there are any issues with any inspected appliance which results in a failure, you will be notified immediately.

We’ll provide a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate so that you can pass on to your tenants. Peace of mind so they know everything’s safe and ready to use.

Landlords Gas Safety Requirements

It is a legal requirement that Landlords have a Gas Safety inspection carried out on their gas appliances within the rented property once a year. This is done in order to show that they have been properly installed, serviced and are safe to be used.

When tenants vacate a property, landlords must ensure that gas appliances and fittings are safe before re-letting the property. Ford Plumbing and Heating are happy to carry out both individual certificates for our landlords and agents as well as for multiple properties as well.

Gas Safe Register’s ‘Information For Landlords’.
