Hyde Farm Gas Safety Certificates

If a rental agent manages your property, you should make sure that the management contract specifies who will take charge of acquiring Hyde Farm Gas Safety Certificates. As advised by the Health and Safety Executive, you should always demand copies of the resulting documentation for all work carried out, so you be confident your property meets all its legal obligations.

As a property owner, if you do not have Hyde Farm Gas Safety Certificates you can be severely punished. In most cases not having a certificate will result in your insurance be invalidated; however, if there is an accident relating to the gas supply, such as carbon monoxide leaks, as the landlord you could actually be prosecuted.

To obtain Hyde Farm Gas Safety Certificates, rented housing must first successfully make the grade during numerous appraisals, which can be performed by a PGS technician. These appraisals include an assessment of how the appliances are fitted, whether there are any leaks, how well ventilated gas equipment is and pressure levels during operation.

PGS plumbers sometimes find that extra maintenance work needs to be carried out in advance of issuing the Hyde Farm Gas Safety Certificates for a rental dwelling. However, because our plumbers typically complete this work together with the gas safety evaluation, you save money on another call-out.

If your room which you rent out has no gas heating and only a gas boiler on the premises, you must still have a certificate – if you are unsure whether your accommodation requires Hyde Farm Gas Safety Certificates, you should contact PGS. We have a detailed knowledge of the regulations, and can help you determine whether gas safe accreditation is required.
