Domestic Gas Safety Testing

Landlords must be able to provide their tenants with an up-to-date Gas Safety record.

By law, landlords must have all gas appliances serviced regularly, normally once a year by a gas safe registered engineer. The Gas Safe registered engineer will provide a Gas Safety record upon completion of the check.

What information does the Landlords Gas Safety record contain?

As a minimum, the record of a gas safety check must contain:

  • description and location of each appliance and/or flue checked
  • name, registration number and signature of the engineer who carried out the check
  • date on which the appliance and/or flue was checked
  • the address of the property at which the appliance and/or flue is installed
  • the name and address of the landlord (or his agent where appropriate)
  • any defect identified and any action required or taken to fix it
  • confirmation of the results of operational safety checks carried out on the appliances.
