Landlord Gas Safety Checks

[Masood]

Lot of information for an open forum, no?

 

[Dotty]

I'm happy with this at the moment Mas, there's nothing technical and, if anything, could be educational for Joe as to what they need checked.

It should teach twitchboy he needs new gas mates, cause the ones he has (outwith here) are scaring me, TBH some of the ones on here scare me too but that's for another thread

I am not a gas engineer but I do employ gas engineers who do this work.
So
I wanted to know the answer to this question too and it wasn't easy to find a reliable source for the definitive answer.
It was a teacher who told me same as what others have said in this thread.
So if there is a fire/ cooker you need to be qualified to work on those.

I think there is genuine ignorance on this particular question.
Or perhaps convenient ignorance. Because most of the time there is only a boiler in the property Many, many times I have heard of Landlord inspections being done and completely ignoring the cooker or fire, the engineer or employer had not anticipated that those appliances might be there, the job would take longer (but they are only charging pennies) andd the gas engineer does not have the right skills.

We had a limited skill engineer did a flue flow on a b/f and capped it off. He wasn't qualified but told lads in office he could do the cp12 as it only needed a smoke bomb. Bye bye muppet.

Was this in a training centre or on an actual job?

 

[Ermintrude]

No he was in a custards house. . I had to go and reconnect .

 

[Bhoydavid]

Another question do you need htr1 to remove a gas fire ?

 

[Ermintrude]

Decommission? No.

 

[Bhoydavid]

Decommission? No.

Thought as much. Boy in work got asked to do that and he only has boilers..
