Gas safety should never be treated as a quick visual check. A professional inspection helps identify potential problems with gas appliances, connections, flues and other parts of the installation before they become a serious safety concern. At APH, our Gas Safe registered engineers carry out gas safety inspections across St Albans and the surrounding areas, with clear advice based on what they find.

For landlords, a gas safety inspection is particularly important. We can help with landlord gas safety checks and the relevant gas safety documentation, including Gas Safety Certificates / CP12 where applicable. Our engineers inspect the relevant gas appliances and installation components, explain any issues clearly, and let you know if further work is recommended.

If an inspection identifies a problem with a boiler, our gas boiler repair service can help diagnose and resolve the fault. We also provide gas leak detection for properties where there is a suspected gas leak, helping locate the source so the appropriate action can be taken safely.

Whether you are a landlord arranging a required gas safety check, a homeowner concerned about the condition of your gas appliances, or a property owner looking for a professional safety inspection, APH provides straightforward gas safety services across St Albans and Hertfordshire.

Understanding Gas Safety Inspections

A gas safety inspection is a professional check of gas appliances, fittings and relevant flues to help identify safety concerns before they become more serious. At APH, our engineers assess the condition and operation of the relevant gas equipment and explain any issues that may need attention.

  • Gas appliances
    checking relevant appliances for safe operation and visible signs of problems.
    Gas connections – inspecting accessible connections and fittings for potential safety concerns.
  • Flues
    checking relevant flues and their condition as part of the safety assessment.
  • Ventilation
    checking that required ventilation arrangements are appropriate for the gas appliance.
  • Safe operation
    looking for signs that an appliance or installation may not be operating safely.
  • Gas pressure and operation
    carrying out appropriate checks where applicable.
  • Carbon monoxide safety considering potential risks associated with incomplete combustion, ventilation and flue performance.

For landlords, a gas safety check has additional legal requirements. Gas appliances, fittings and flues provided for tenants must be maintained safely and checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer, with an annual safety check required for relevant appliances and flues.

A gas safety inspection can be useful for landlords, homeowners and property owners in a range of situations. Here are some common reasons to arrange a professional gas safety check.

Common Questions About Gas Safety Inspection

What is a gas safety inspection?

A gas safety inspection is a professional check of relevant gas appliances, fittings, flues and other accessible parts of a gas installation to identify potential safety concerns and ensure the system is operating safely.

The terms are often used interchangeably, although the exact checks and purpose can depend on the property and situation. Landlords have specific legal requirements for gas safety checks in rented properties.

A CP12 is the commonly used term for a Landlord Gas Safety Record (LGSR). It records the results of the required gas safety check carried out on relevant gas appliances and flues in a rental property.

Landlords must arrange a gas safety check on relevant gas appliances and flues at least every 12 months. The check must be carried out by a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.

The engineer will explain the safety concern and advise what action is required. Depending on the issue, the appliance may need repair, further investigation or may need to be taken out of use until it is safe.

Yes. Gas safety inspections aren’t only for landlords. Homeowners can arrange a professional inspection if they have concerns about their gas appliances, installation or general gas safety.
