Landlord Gas Safety Certificates in Tyldesley, Wigan

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 are pretty clear: landlords have a duty of care to make sure all gas pipework, appliances, and flues provided for tenants are safe. Skipping an annual check isn't just a safety risk for the people living in your house; it can lead to heavy fines or even invalidate your insurance. Imagine the stress of a tenant reporting a gas smell or a faulty boiler, only to realise your paperwork has expired. We help landlords throughout Tyldesley avoid those 'what-if' scenarios by providing thorough, professional inspections that keep you fully compliant and your tenants breathing easy.

You might wonder what actually happens when we turn up at your rental property. It’s a lot more than just a quick look at the boiler. Our Gas Safe registered engineers (Registration No: 967977) carry out a series of vital tests. We'll start with a 'Tightness Test' to ensure there aren't any tiny leaks in the gas pipework. Then, we look at the burner pressure and gas rate to make sure everything is burning correctly. We also perform a 'Flue Flow Test' and 'Spillage Test' to check that dangerous fumes like carbon monoxide are being safely whisked away outside. It's a comprehensive health check for the property’s entire gas system.

Most landlords we talk to in Tyldesley are busy people. The last thing you want is a carbon-copy paper form that’s hard to read or easy to lose. That’s why we provide digital certificates. Once we’ve finished our inspection and everything is confirmed safe, we’ll email a professional PDF copy directly to you or your letting agent. This makes it incredibly easy to share with your tenants and keep on file for your own records. Plus, because we hold £10 million in public liability insurance, you can be sure that you’re dealing with a company that takes its professional responsibilities seriously.

While we're at the property carrying out the safety inspection, many of our Tyldesley clients find it's the perfect time to get the boiler serviced too. A CP12 checks that the appliance is safe to use, but a full service ensures it's running efficiently. It’s a bit like an MOT versus a full car service. By doing both at once, you’re not only meeting your legal requirements but also helping to prevent those annoying mid-winter breakdown calls. It saves you the cost of a second call-out fee and gives you the peace of mind that the heating system is in top notch condition for the year ahead.
