What is a Gas Safe Inspection?

A Gas Safe inspection in London is where a thorough inspection of all your gas equipment takes place by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. When checking the appliances and installations in a Gas Safe inspection, these checks will include:

• Whether appliances are suitable for the room that they are located in.
• All appliances will be tested to see if they are physically stable, securely fitted and safely connected to the gas pipework.

• All safety devices that are in place will be checked to see if they function properly.
• The appliances will be checked to see if there is an acceptable, permanent air supply available.
• All accessible pipework will be inspected to see whether they are in good condition.
