Most surveyors and solicitors will advise clients to have
the installations tested before buying a property. Shropshire
Gas engineers carry out gas safety inspections and certification
for home owners and prospective purchasers. The procedure
and certificate is in the same statutory form as is used for
landlord's certification and includes inspection of all gas
appliances, meter and visible pipework to confirm compliance
with regulations and safe operation.
Our safety inspection will detail:
 |
The date the appliance or flue was examined and the address
where the appliance is installed. |
|
|
|
The
prospective purchasers details (name and address). |
|
|
|
Description and location of the appliances and/or flue. |
|
|
|
Recognition of and recording of any defects. |
|
|
|
The
name and signature of the gas operative and the CORGI registration
number of the engineer of their employer. |
We will carry out the following checks to ensure the appliance
is safe to use:
|
Appliance operating
pressure or heat input, or where necessary both. |
|
|
|
Correct operation of
safety devices. |
|
|
|
Ensure adequate ventilation is available
where required. |
|
|
|
Visual examination of
the flue system. |
|
|
|
Where applicable, results
of a flue flow test. |
|
|
|
Where applicable, results of a spillage
test. |
|
|
|
Ensure flue termination
is satisfactory. |
|
|
On completion of the above safety checks our Shropshire Gas
engineer will accurately detail the findings on the Landlord/Homeowner
Gas Safety Record. This creates a certificate, which is a
useful tool for sellers as it removes any doubt a purchaser
may have about the on-going suitability of the gas installation.
