Fire and Cooker Landlord certs tomorrow, advice?

[armyash]

I am going along with someone to do these tomorrow, below is a list of things that I believe need to be done but I have more than likely missed things out. I have done a search on here before posting but can't find anything definitive, some people say it's a service too others say it's just a safety check. Anyway this is what I have managed to come up with....

1. visual inspection - pipe material correct? neccessary valves installed? any damage etc
2. Standing pressure, Let by and tightness test purge volume (this is where I get confused as some people refer to these with different terms i have found out)
3. pressures correct? inputs/rates correct?
4. Is the appliance installed correctly in accordance with MI
5. Ventilation correct?
6. Flues installed correctly (where neccessary)
7. Appliance safety controls in place and operating correctly?

If someone has a better guide for landlord certs I'd be grateful to see them or if there's a dummies guide on calculating the gas rates etc.

Thanks

is a landlord certificate a cp12? , it tells u what to check on the sheet, goodluck mate,

but from what i seen, drop test, visual inspection, flue analyzing ect. cooker chain ect.

but im sure the gas boys on here will help u out with what to check

Just managed to dig out a copy of a landlord cert I have for revision, things seem clearer already.

You will find a check list on the back of most gas safety report forms as said

You are carrying out an inspection of the gas installation and recording any defects or rectification work undertaken

No service of appliances is legally required during this inspection however as many appliances require servicing annually,some engineers try to include this in the price,especially if a back boiler unit of Dfe fire is involved

I offer a reduced rate if I do service and Gsr together but if L/L only requests his legal obligation to be carried out,I do the inspection and record on cp12 that appliances should be serviced

imho

lol the landlord cert I have is a photocopy from my course instructor....only copied on 1 side 😀

I'm not too worried i'm there to learn but will have revised enough so i'm not a complete hindrance.

:iagree: cover the backside especially where open flued appliances are concerned! Most all landlords I do work for are okay with servicing ... It's agent work i get most grief from :ack2:

Hi, im Traci

I did landord checks for years, not all landlords require you to do a service unless stated, if you find eg, a boiler or fire to need it, generally you would inform the landlord on your sheet it is in need of one, usually phoning them from the premises is better as they can agree for you to service it there and then.

A landlord check is pretty straight forward. Dont forget to check walls and ceilings for spillage marks,, always do a let by and tightness test first so you know if there was a leak before you even touched anything, check flues,(spillage) ventilation, (dfe fire needs a vent in the wall) working pressure, gas rate, and youll know if controls work correctly by just turning them on (cooker knobs, hoods etc) 9 times out of 10, the occupant will let you know theres been a problem for you to check.

Good look and pretend your at home ha. I always ended up making my customers a cuppa, thats how at home you need to be and everything will fall into place....
