I'd have thought I wouldn't be allowed to go around removing meters as we're supposed to work downstream only. What fittings do I use...

    Landlord cert gas safety check

    Hi I’ve got a couple of gas safety checks coming up and I’m a bit confused as to whether I need to tick yes or no to the appliance serviced part? Does a landlord cert count as a service or does this mean has the appliance been serviced within the past year? Many thanks
