According to the law, London Property Inspections must inspect gas appliances in your home every year. We perform this as part of our service for you. Call 020 3239 0374 if you have not had gas service in the past year.
The engineers of our contractors who perform this work are registered with the Gas Safe Register (formally known as CORGI). During the service we check all smoke pipes, chimneys, appliances and gas pipes in your house. The engineer gives you a copy of the owner’s gas safety certificate as proof that the work has been carried out. You must keep this in a safe place and we will contact you when your next service expires.
Carbon monoxide
It is essential that you check your gas boiler every year; It takes a few minutes to make an appointment and can save your life. Carbon monoxide can be produced without your boiler or gas fire reception service. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that cannot be seen, is odorless and can kill a person in minutes. What are the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning?
The symptoms of mild carbon monoxide poisoning can be non-specific and similar to those of viral colds and flu infections or food poisoning: headache, nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness, sore throat and dry cough. But unlike the flu infection, carbon monoxide poisoning does not cause high temperature.
In children, the symptoms are similar to those of stomach upset, nausea and vomiting. More severe poisoning can cause rapid and irregular heartbeat, hyperventilation, confusion, drowsiness, and breathing difficulties. Epileptic seizures and loss of consciousness can also occur.
Some symptoms may occur a few days or even months after exposure to carbon monoxide. These can include confusion, memory loss and coordination problems.
