Landlords Safety Certificate (CP 12)
Landlords have
a legal duty to maintain all gas appliances, flues and pipe work, which
have been provided for the use of your tenants and have them checked
for safety at least once every 12 months by a CORGI registered gas
installer.
If a landlord does not have a valid gas safety
certificate, or does not do works required, the Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) has the power to prosecute. Failure to follow gas
safety requirements is a criminal offence and can be punished by fines
or imprisonment.
Our Promise
A Steadfastgas.co.uk CORGI registered engineer will check the following during a Landlords gas safety inspection:
- Check appliance for gas leaks/tightness.
- Check standing and working pressures if test points are available.
- Check burner pressures / gas rate against manufacturers data plate.
- Check that necessary ventilation is satisfactory.
- Test flue flow to ensure removal of by products of combustion.
- Check all flame failure devices operate satisfactory.
- Check for physical stability, effectiveness of stability brackets.
- Investigate
any evidence of unsafe operation by the tenant and report back to the
Landlord or his agent. An appliance can not be deemed as having been
checked, until the above has been completed.
- For a Landlords Safety Record inspection a tightness test of the full system should be added to the above.
Annual Boiler Service
An annual Boiler service is as
important as an annual medical check up is to you. It detects the
health of your boiler and allows us to fix minor problems before they
become a major problem that can result in the death of you and/or your
family.
Carbon monoxide kills, and most carbon monoxide poisoning
is caused by poorly maintained gas appliances in the home. An annual
service will ensure that your boiler is safe and no threat to you or
your family.
Our Annual Service
- We will check your gas boiler, controls and components.
- Will clean vital parts, help prevent carbon monoxide incidents and improve gas efficiency.
- We will check for scale damage to your boiler and system
- We will check your radiators, radiator valves and exposed pipe work for leaks and corrosion.
We carry out your boiler service and put our name to it, so we know the work we have done, is 100% safe and to CORGI standards.
Boiler Repairs and Installation
Repairs can be expensive and happen when we
least expect our boiler to breakdown. Most repairs can be avoided and
problems detected with regular servicing and good maintenance of your
central heating system.
Most central heating system boilers
breakdown in winter when we need them the most and when they are
running to maximum capacity for long hours, and not been serviced. This
is why the winter is also the most difficult time of year to find a Gas
engineer that is free to come and repair your boiler.
Repairs
Most repairs are costly and can be avoided
with a good annual service. Just to replace a fan in a boiler can cost
upwards of £250 and to replace a pump £200 upwards a split expansion
vessel £325 upwards. Having your central heating system serviced
annually can save you money by extending the life of the parts that can
fail.
We can repair any gas appliance you have installed
at home, in your caravan or on your boat. All repairs are carried out
to CORGI standards and we aim to carry out any repairs as quickly as
possible with as little inconvenience to you and your family.
In most cases
We can carry out repairs to your boiler, cooker and gas fire
with common parts we stock as standard. If your system is older then parts
my need to be ordered. Our very competitive quotes for both stocked and
ordered parts will keep your costs to a minimum.
Central Heating
Gas central heating keeps everyone
warm and cozy, just ask Tom there to the left. He doesn't have a care
in the world as long as he is fed and has a warm place to live, he's
not much different than us really.
Buying a central heating
system is the second largest (in cost) long term investment most of us
will ever make, buying our home being the first. Most of us buy our new
home with the central heating system installed and know nothing or very
little about its history.
Central Heating
I'm sure we have all done it, bought
a new home, drove 100 yards down the street and seen a car with "For
Sale" signs in the windows, and said "tut tut, that car shouldn't be on
the road". Yet it passed the MOT test or did it? Let us give your
central heating system a full service so you can sleep at night,
knowing you and your family are safe. Have you ever checked an MOT certificate or any other for that matter, where your families life may depend on it?

property.
