What Our Safety Check Includes

Our recent Lichfield property inspection involved a thorough examination of all gas appliances, including the boiler, gas fire, and gas cooker. During this mandatory annual inspection, our qualified engineers:

• Tested all gas appliances for safe operation and proper combustion
• Inspected gas pipework for leaks and structural integrity
• Verified proper ventilation throughout the property
• Checked carbon monoxide detectors for functionality
• Examined flue integrity and proper exhaust ventilation
• Confirmed appropriate gas pressure at all connection points
• Tested all gas safety devices and emergency shut-off mechanisms
• Issued a new Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) valid for the next 12 months

Why Safety Checks Matter

Property owners and tenants should understand that gas safety isn’t optional—it’s essential. Carbon monoxide, often called the “silent killer,” is colourless and odourless, making proper gas appliance maintenance critical for preventing potentially fatal leaks and exposure.

Beyond the obvious safety considerations, Lichfield landlords should note that gas safety certificates are legally required for all rental properties. Failure to maintain valid certification can result in significant penalties, including fines up to £6,000 per item and potential imprisonment for serious violations.
