Gas Work in Watford, Beyond the Boiler

By law, any work on a gas appliance or gas pipework must be done by an engineer on the Gas Safe Register. That covers far more than boilers: fitting or moving a gas cooker or hob, capping supplies for a new kitchen, altering pipework, servicing gas fires and the annual landlord gas safety check.

Watford has a large rented sector. Landlords must have every gas appliance and flue they provide checked every 12 months, give tenants the record within 28 days, keep records for two years and fit carbon monoxide alarms where required. See our gas safety inspection page.

For cookers and hobs, we fit an approved hose, bayonet and stability bracket where needed, test for leaks and check the flame and ventilation. See our gas cooker and hob installation page.

Gas Work That Must Be Done by a Gas Safe Engineer

If any of these jobs are needed in your Watford home or rental property, the law requires a Gas Safe registered engineer. If you smell gas, call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 first. Once the supply is safe, we can trace and repair the leak on your side of the meter. See our gas leak detection page.

  • Landlord Gas Safety Checks: An annual inspection of every gas appliance, fitting and flue the landlord provides, with a gas safety record for the tenants.

  • Cooker and Hob Installation: Connecting, moving or disconnecting gas cookers and hobs, including during kitchen refits.

  • Gas Pipework: New gas runs, alterations for extensions and kitchens, and repairs to existing pipework.

  • Gas Fires and Heaters: Installation, servicing and safety checks on gas fires and gas heaters.

  • Gas Leak Repairs: Tracing and repairing leaks on your side of the meter, once the emergency service has made the supply safe.

Call a Gas Engineer If You Notice

If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 before calling us.

Yellow or Orange Flames

Flames on a gas hob or fire should be crisp and blue. Yellow or orange flames can mean poor combustion.

Soot or Staining

Black marks or staining around a gas fire, boiler or flue can be a sign of incomplete combustion.

A Carbon Monoxide Alarm Sounding

Open windows, turn off gas appliances and get everyone outside, then call for help.

A Certificate Coming Up for Renewal

A landlord gas safety record is due every 12 months. Booking early keeps the same renewal date.

Really happy with the work carried out by Alban Plumbing and Heating. They fitted several new radiators in my home and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. They arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and took great care while working in the house. The installation was completed to a high standard, everything was left clean and tidy, and the new radiators look fantastic and heat up perfectly. It's refreshing to find a company that is reliable, communicates well, and clearly takes pride in their work. I wouldn't hesitate to use Alban Plumbing and Heating again and would happily recommend them to friends and family.

Asif has done a great job looking after our plumbing and heating for several years now. He also recently attended in under an hour to fix an emergency leak that he and his son sorted with great efficiency allowing us to get back to work and continue operating with minimal disruption to our business and patients. He’s reasonably priced and friendly and I’m sure we will be using him for many years to come. His 5 star status is well deserved.

Gas and Heating Engineer Watford: Your Questions

How often do landlords need a gas safety certificate?
Every 12 months. Landlords must give a copy of the gas safety record to existing tenants within 28 days of the check and to new tenants before they move in, and keep records for at least two years. You can have the check up to two months early and keep the same renewal date.
The engineer checks every gas appliance, fitting and flue the landlord provides. That includes testing gas tightness, checking the appliances are burning correctly, confirming flues are clear and working, and checking there is adequate ventilation. Anything unsafe is recorded and explained.
Yes. Connecting, moving or disconnecting any gas appliance must be done by an engineer on the Gas Safe Register. A freestanding cooker also needs an approved hose and a stability bracket or chain so it cannot tip.
Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the back to confirm they are qualified for the type of work, such as domestic boilers or cookers. You can also check the engineer or business on the Gas Safe Register website.
Leave the property, do not use light switches or naked flames, open doors and windows if it is safe to do so, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Once they have made the supply safe, we can trace and repair the leak.

Yes. We diagnose and repair heating faults across Watford, including radiators that stay cold, pumps and diverter valves that fail, systems that keep losing pressure, and thermostats or programmers that stop responding. If the fault is in the boiler itself, see our boiler repair page for Watford.

All of WD17, WD18, WD24 and WD25, including the town centre, West Watford, Callow Land, Nascot Wood, Cassiobury, North Watford, Garston and Leavesden.
