Gas Appliance Servicing
Gas Appliance Service & Safety
Gas appliances should be inspected and maintained regularly to reduce the risk of faults, inefficient operation and unsafe emissions.
Carbon monoxide is especially dangerous because it cannot be seen, smelled or tasted. Faulty, poorly installed or inadequately maintained appliances and flues may allow carbon monoxide to enter a property without warning.
An annual service can help identify problems early and give you confidence that your appliances are operating safely.
What Does a Gas Appliance Service Include?
Our servicing checks may include:
- Checking the appliance’s gas pressure
- Inspecting the boiler and its controls
- Testing the flue and combustion emissions
- Checking that safety devices operate correctly
- Looking for signs of damage, wear or corrosion
- Confirming that the appliance is working efficiently
- Identifying faults that may require further attention
- Recording the work completed during the visit
The exact checks carried out will depend on the type, age and condition of the appliance.

Gas Safety Documentation
Following the service, we can provide appropriate documentation confirming the checks completed.
It is worth distinguishing between an appliance service record and a formal Landlord Gas Safety Record, as these are not always the same document. Landlords who require annual certification should arrange the appropriate landlord gas safety inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should gas appliances be serviced?
Most gas appliances should be serviced annually, although you should also follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidance.
Is a boiler service the same as a gas safety check?
No. A service focuses on the condition, safety and performance of the appliance. A landlord gas safety inspection is a separate legal check covering relevant gas appliances and flues within a rented property.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer warranty valid?
Many manufacturers require regular servicing as a condition of their warranty. Check the specific terms provided with your appliance.
What happens if the engineer finds a fault?
The engineer will explain the issue and advise what work is required. A quotation can be provided before any additional repair work is completed.
Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?
Yes. Gas appliance servicing is completed by appropriately qualified Gas Safe registered engineers.
