Service Description

Below is information relating to each service that will be included in the Gas-Safety-Certificate-Electric-Periodic-Inspection-Report-Residential-PAT-Boiler-Service package?

Gas Safety Certificate

Gas Safety Certificates are required under the Gas safety installation and use regulations 1998. All landlords that are renting there properties to tenants have a legal responsibility to make sure that all pipework, Gas appliances and Flues in the property are safe and have been tested by a Gas Safe™ engineer every 12 Months. It is now also recommended that prospective homebuyers have a Gas safety certificate carried out to ensure the safety of the property that they are moving into. Common Appliances in residential properties include Boilers, Cookers & Fires. It usually takes our engineers between 30 and 50 minutes to test and certify appliances in a residential home. Once the appliances have been certified you will receive two copies of the Gas safety Certificate, one copy to keep for yourself and another copy for the tenant/agent. We also have a document storage area on our website where we store a copy of your Gas Safety Certificate electronically for two years.

Electric Periodic Inspection Report (PIR)

A Periodic Inspection is an inspection on the condition of an existing electrical installation, to identify (in order of priority) any deficiencies against the national safety standard for electrical installations. It is recommended that Landlords who are renting there properties out carry out this certificate in order to check that the electrical wiring that they are supplying to the tenant is safe and meets British Standards. This certificate will also protect landlords against the Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations (1994) and the consumer protection act (1987).The report is conducted by one of our fully trained and accredited NICEIC registered engineers. The report takes in the region of 1-3 Hours to complete depending on the size and complexity of the property. Once the report has been completed the Landlord/Homebuyer will receive a signed report outlining the engineer’s findings and recommendations if necessary.

Portable Appliance Test (PAT)

Portable appliance testing, or PAT testing, as it is more commonly known, is the procedure whereby Residential electrical equipment e.g. Toaster’s, Kettle’s, Fridge freezer’s and Televisions are tested using an instrument (PAT test machine) and visually checked for electrical safety. PAT testing is usually carried out on rented accommodation annually to make sure that electrical appliances that are being left for a tenant are safe to use and also protect landlords against the Consumer protection act (1987) and the electrical equipment act (1994). When the engineer is in the property conducting the test he or she will put stickers on all of the appliances confirming they have been tested. The landlord will also receive a form confirming what has been tested and if the item is safe for use.

Boiler Service

Having your boiler serviced and running to its maximum efficiency can save as much as 15% of household energy bills.
