Frequently asked questions
Before you book
How often is a landlord gas safety check required?
Landlords must arrange a gas safety check every 12 months for relevant gas appliances and flues they provide for tenants.
When must tenants receive the record?
Existing tenants must receive a copy within 28 days of the completed check. A new tenant must receive a current copy before moving in.
Is a landlord gas safety check the same as a boiler service?
No. A safety check records the required gas-safety findings, while servicing maintains and inspects an appliance in line with its condition and manufacturer instructions. Request both if both are needed.
Can the record be provided electronically?
Yes, an electronic record can be provided where the tenant agrees and can access it. A paper copy must be available if requested.
What happens if a defect is identified?
The finding and appropriate safety action will be explained. Any separate repair or remedial work will be discussed before chargeable work proceeds.
