CP7 & CP47 gas equipment checks services UK

Ensure an annual safety check is carried out on each gas appliance/flue. Before any new lease starts, you must make sure that these checks have been carried out within one year before the start of the lease date, unless the appliances in the property have been installed for less than 12 months, in which case they should be checked within 12 months of their installation date.

If you suspect, based on symptoms, that you’re experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning, open windows and doors, switch off all gas-powered devices, evacuate the property, seek immediate medical advice, and contact the Gas Emergency Service. If you smell gas, whether inside or outside, or experience any of the symptoms of exposure to natural gas (including feeling lightheaded, dizzy or nauseated and experiencing headaches), call the Gas Emergency Service immediately.

The annual check need to be undertaken by a person who has sufficient practical experience of oxy-fuel gas equipment and theoretical knowledge of the functioning of the equipment, the properties of gases used, the potential defects and hazards that may occur and their importance to integrity and safety of the equipment. We offer a free annual gas safety check for some customers.

Warning signs that there may be carbon monoxide leaking into the home are the same as the signs that there could be a problem with a gas appliance. If you suspect that you or someone else may be suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning it is important to act fast to remove them from the property and get them outside in the fresh air before calling for medical help. Getting your gas appliances checked or serviced – Safety check versus service – what’s the difference? When having your gas appliances checked it’s important to understand the options available to you to ensure that you request the appropriate service from your engineer. The first thing to work out is whether you require a safety check or service of one single appliance, a safety check for all appliances, or an entire installation.
