Landlord Boiler Service & Gas Safety
Arrange your landlord boiler service and gas safety check together. We inspect the boiler and gas appliances, record the results and issue the required certificate, giving you clear paperwork for tenants, agents and property records.
What Our Landlord Boiler Service Covers
For landlords and managing agents, the visit combines safety checks with useful boiler maintenance. We test operation, controls, ventilation and visible pipework, then explain any defect that could affect safe use or leave tenants without reliable heating.
If the appliance needs attention, we separate essential safety work from recommended maintenance and provide a written quotation before starting. That leaves you with a clear repair plan, accurate property records and fewer avoidable problems between tenancies.
Gas Safe inspection
Gas Safe registered engineers check the boiler and other gas appliances, so the safety certificate reflects the property’s gas installation.
Boiler service included
The boiler service checks operation, controls, ventilation and visible pipework, helping identify faults that could affect reliable heating.
Certificate and results
We record the inspection findings and issue the required gas safety certificate for tenant, agent and property records.
Defects explained clearly
If we find a problem, we explain what affects safe use and what can be planned as maintenance, without bundling every recommendation together.
Written repair quotation
Where repair work is needed, you receive a written quotation before anything starts, so the cost and scope are clear.
Useful for managed properties
Landlords and managing agents can arrange the boiler service and gas safety check in one visit, reducing separate arrangements for the property.
Before Tenancy
Arrange the visit before tenants move in, leaving time to address unsafe appliances or paperwork issues before the handover date.
Clear records, safer tenancies
When tenants rely on the boiler, a Gas Safe engineer checks combustion, flue safety and appliance operation during the visit. You receive a completed certificate plus clear notes on defects, so agents can act without chasing missing details.
Questions landlords often ask
What should landlords prepare before the boiler service?
Before we arrive, ensure access to the boiler, gas appliances, meter and controls. Tell tenants about faults, warning signs or recent repairs, and provide previous records if available for review.
Can a landlord boiler service be completed if the boiler is not working?
If the boiler won’t start, we can investigate the fault, but cannot certify it until it operates safely. We’ll record other appliance results and quote for necessary repair work.
What happens if the boiler fails the gas safety check?
If an appliance fails, we explain the reason, make it safe where possible, and quote for remedial work. We’ll confirm what must be completed before certification and update records afterwards.
Which gas appliances need checking for a landlord gas safety certificate?
Include every gas appliance connected to the property, such as fires, cookers and water heaters, not just the boiler. We record each appliance separately on the certificate for clear records.
How long does a landlord boiler service take?
Most visits take around an hour, although the time depends on the boiler, appliances and access. We’ll explain any delay and provide paperwork before leaving, with records ready for agents.
If the inspection finds a problem
Access can be difficult in occupied properties, especially when the boiler or flue is inside a cupboard. Tell us about restricted access, previous faults or tenant concerns when booking, so we can plan the visit properly.
The certificate records the gas safety position on the inspection date. It does not replace ongoing maintenance, so we explain any follow-up needed and what information should be kept with the property records.
Which appliances are included
If the property has more than one gas appliance, we confirm what needs checking before the visit. That keeps the gas safety record matched to the equipment installed at the property.
A complete record for the tenancy
We identify each relevant gas appliance, check its condition and record the findings against the property. The completed record gives landlords, agents and tenants a clear account of the appliances covered by the inspection.
What happens if an appliance is unsafe
A fault does not always mean the whole heating system needs replacing. We explain the risk in plain terms and separate work needed for safe use from improvements that can wait.
Clear choices before repair work
If an appliance cannot be used safely, we explain the reason and the practical next step. We do not carry out additional chargeable work without approval, and we provide a written quotation when repair or replacement is needed.
Who carries out the check
The inspection is carried out by a directly employed Gas Safe engineer, rather than passed to an unknown subcontractor. That gives you a named point of contact for the inspection findings and any follow-up work.
Gas work completed by qualified engineers
Gas Safe registration is the legal requirement for anyone working on a gas boiler or appliance. Our engineer applies that standard to the inspection, explains any limitations found and leaves the property tidy after the work.
What happens after the visit
Once the inspection is complete, we explain the result and provide the paperwork needed for the property file. You can then pass accurate information to the tenant, managing agent or incoming contractor.
Certificate and follow-up information
We issue the completed gas safety certificate with notes on any defects or recommended action. If further work is needed, the quotation sets out what we propose so you can authorise the next step with the relevant property records to hand.
To arrange the visit, send us the rental property address and any known boiler details or previous faults. We’ll confirm the information needed before booking, so the inspection is planned around the actual installation.
After the appointment, you can file the completed paperwork with the property records or pass it to your managing agent. Contact us when you’re ready to arrange the boiler service and gas safety check.
