Choosing a Gas Safety Registered Engineer
When choosing an engineer to carry out work on any property, you need to know you are in good hands. At Super Trade Services, we recommend you check any credentials on the Gas Safe website. A reputable gas engineer will be more than happy to provide you with their gas safe number.
What will the gas engineer do during the test?
When Super Trade Services perform a landlords gas safety record we would:
Inspect all flues visually
We would be looking for signs of distress, corrosion or spillage of products of combustion. This would be followed by a thorough inspection to make sure the flue is secured and correctly installed and terminated.
Perform a flue gas analysis
Using one of our digital machines on each appliance, we would reference the readings against the manufacturer’s instructions.
Check ventilation
Our engineers would check the correct ventilation requirements of any appliance.
Perform a gas rate on any appliance
This is to see how much gas the product is using at full capacity per hour. Referencing against the manufacturer’s instructions, we would then check that the burner is burning the correct amount of gas.
Check the operating pressure at the metre and at the appliance
This is to make sure everything is correct and the pipework is of a sufficient size. This is in order to supply the required gas.
Safety device checking
On all gas appliances we would check any safety devices to make sure all is working and is safe.
Pipework
Engineers would perform a visual check of pipework which would be followed by a tightness test. The tightness test allows us to check all gas pipes and connected appliances. This will determine if there are any gas leaks.
CO and carbon monoxide
We would check for correct CO monitor or carbon monoxide reader.
Tenant appliances
Any appliances owned by the tenant, we would perform a basic safety check on.
