Gas Safety and Carbon Monoxide in the United Kingdom |
|
We carry out safety testing of gas installations and appliances on behalf of: Landlords and letting agencies (a legal requirement) Individuals concerned over safety House purchasers before purchase
Our testing is thorough, complies with Gas Regulations, Gas Safe Register (formerly CORGI) and the ACOPS set out for all appliance categories. Electronic Telegan emission monitoring of carbon monoxide can also be carried out. On many appliances, the same instrument can also indicate if servicing is required

|
Carbon monoxide is especially dangerous because it first produces sleepiness, which is often put down to tiredness. Once asleep, the effects can continue until fatal. For this reason, compulsory annual testing was brought in by the U.K. government for all rented properties, as the responsibility of the landlord. |

Carbon Monoxide |
|
Gas Safety Testing—Why? Every year some 40 people die and hundreds are ill from the effects of carbon monoxide from faulty gas appliances. It may be from a chimney blockage for a gas fire, insufficient fresh air ventilation for a boiler, or damaged casing seals. |
|
Safety Testing |
|
All persons who work on gas installations must be recognised as competent by the Health and Safety Executive and on the Gas Safe Register.
This is not in itself sufficient for testing gas appliances. Additional qualifications have to be obtained for each category of appliance, ie boilers, fires, water heaters, cookers, You should ask to see the back of the Gas Safe membership card which lists the categories each holder is qualified to work on or inspect.
