Gas Safety This Winter

Winter is here, there is no debate about that. As the days get darker and lest we forget (as if we could) colder we are all beginning to switch on our heating. Coming back into a nice warm house from the unforgiving winter weather is one of the great comforts of life.

We thought we’d take this opportunity to talk to our readers about gas safety, as the winter weather reminds us how much we rely on it as the days get darker.

Here at Bristol Property Centre we insist that each and every one of our landlords’ carry out a variety of safety checks prior to us working with them. Listed below is the guidelines we provide to our landlords concerning gas safety:

Gas Appliances (Installation and Use Regulations 1998): It is the Landlords responsibility to ensure all Gas appliances comply with regulations, and that annual inspections are completed by CORGI registered engineers. The safety certificate has to be supplied to the tenant when they occupy the property. For long term lets the certificate has to be supplied to the tenant within 28 days after the annual inspection.
