We do
not carry out safety inspections on newly installed gas appliances which may have been fitted illegally by unregistered engineers.
Any request to inspect such installations will be reported to the Gas Safe Registry who will investigate and may lead to criminal
prosecution. If our engineers suspect it is a new installation they will request the benchmark report completed by the installer
(in the boiler manual), a gas appliance installation certificate completed by the Gas Safe registered engineer or a copy of
the Building Regulations Compliance Certificate. These should be on site. Failure to do so will mean that the gas inspection
will not be completed for the said appliance and any monies paid will be forfeited.

All our inspection reports are just that, Reports. We put down what we
see and what we deem to be safe and unsafe. It is entirely up to the recipient as to what he or she does
with it. They should however be aware of the legal and safety consequences of their actions. We take gas safety
very seriously reserve and the right to refuse an inspection if we do not feel comfortable with
any situation.
