Gas safety check in Rotherham
Landlords and letting agents who need annual certificates, plus homeowners who want appliances checked before winter or a purchase.
About gas safety checks
A gas safety check in Rotherham is a legal duty for landlords every year. Homeowners book them too before winter or a house move. We inspect appliances, flues and visible pipework, then issue the certificate the same day where the diary allows.
We carry out landlord gas safety checks across Sheffield, Doncaster and Barnsley too. Block bookings for portfolios are welcome. For letting agents, we can arrange access with tenants and keep renewal dates on file so nothing lapses.
Buying a property and unsure what sits behind the old boiler cupboard? Ask for a gas safety inspection before you commit. Same careful check of appliances, flues and pipe runs, written up clearly.

Landlord gas safety certificates (CP12)
If you let a property, you must have gas appliances checked every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer and give tenants a copy of the record. That duty sits with the landlord, not the tenant.
We work with landlords and letting agents around Rotherham and Barnsley, arranging access with tenants where needed. Portfolios welcome. Block bookings keep travel efficient and dates consistent.
Homeowners and pre-purchase inspections
You do not need a landlord certificate for your own home, but an annual check still catches unsafe flues, failing appliances and pipework issues before they become emergencies.
Buying? A gas safety inspection before exchange can surface problems that a general survey only hints at. Useful when the boiler cupboard has not been opened in years.

The legal position for landlords
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, a landlord gas safety check is required every 12 months. There is no grace period: a record that expired yesterday is a breach, regardless of intent.
You can arrange the check up to two months before the current record expires and keep your original renewal date, which is the simplest way to book ahead without shortening the cycle. Once done, the tenant must receive a copy within 28 days, or before a new tenant moves in, and you must keep each record for at least two years.
The check itself covers every gas appliance and flue in the property: correct operation, gas tightness, operating pressure, ventilation, and the safe removal of combustion products. It is not the same as a boiler service. A service is preventative maintenance and satisfies the manufacturer's guarantee conditions; the safety check confirms the appliances are safe on the day. Many landlords sensibly book both together, but one does not include the other.

It is a chemical dosed into the heating water that stops the inside of steel radiators corroding and forming magnetite, the black sludge that wrecks pumps and heat exchangers. BS 7593 expects the level to be tested annually and either re-dosed or fully tested every five years. It is one of the cheapest things you can do to extend the life of a boiler, and it is routinely the thing nobody has checked.
Do not touch electrical switches. Open doors and windows, turn the gas off at the meter if you can reach it safely, get everyone out, and ring the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 before you ring anybody else. They attend free of charge and make the situation safe. Once it is safe, call us on 07932 552087 for the repair itself.
Where the cold patch sits tells you which problem you have. Cold at the top and warm at the bottom is air, and it just needs bleeding. Cold at the bottom and warm at the top is sludge sitting in the radiator. Whole radiators that stay cool while others are hot usually means the system has never been balanced, which is adjusted at the lockshield valves and costs a fraction of a new boiler. We check in that order rather than starting with the expensive answer.
Since the 2022 revision of Part L, a replacement gas boiler in South Yorkshire has to be at least 92% ErP efficient. The system needs thermostatic radiator valves on every radiator except the one in the room holding the main thermostat, and an in-line filter has to be fitted. We also carry out a heat loss calculation so the boiler is not significantly oversized, and clean, flush and inhibit the system to BS 7593 before commissioning. The installation is notifiable, so you receive a Building Regulations compliance certificate.
