Although landlords must arrange the required gas safety checks, certain warning signs may indicate that a gas appliance needs prompt investigation. If you notice any of the following, seek advice from a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
A yellow or orange flame instead of the expected blue flame may indicate a problem with gas combustion.
Soot, staining or black marks around a gas appliance may indicate incomplete combustion or another fault.
A pilot light that repeatedly goes out may indicate an appliance fault that needs investigation.
Blocked flues, damaged flue components or inadequate ventilation can create serious safety risks and should be checked promptly.
We make arranging a landlord gas safety check straightforward, helping landlords and letting agents understand what to expect at each stage.
