Landlord cert gas safety check

[Deleted member 120897]

Yes but the GS register says:

The gas pipework in your rented property must also be kept in a safe condition. Installation pipework is not covered by the annual gas safety check, but both we and the HSE recommend that when you request a safety check, you ask your Gas Safe registered engineer to:

• Test for tightness on the whole gas system, including installation pipework
• Visually examine the pipework (so far as is reasonably practicable)

So not mandatory but probably a really good idea and more than likely to cover your bum, if anything goes wrong in the future?

Yep I agree, and have had this argument on another forum, but they just state it’s not required. We do one as part of ours as we’re (company I work for) the landlord.

No arguments here, we are not sparkies.

I always do one on a cp12. It gives me peace of mind.

And I do it through my analyser and can add it to the form electronically (anton)

Takes an extra 5 mins

As far as i'm aware, been taught, and told by a Gas Safe Inspector a Gas test is a requirement of a Landlord Safety Check, when did that change?!

I always print them off too.

It’s always been recommended not a must
