Keeping homes across the West Midlands safe and properly checked
Gas safety can sound a bit formal, but the idea is simple. If your home has gas appliances, they need to be safe, working correctly and not putting your household, tenants or new home purchase at risk.
At WLV Plumbing & Heating, we help landlords, homeowners and home buyers arrange sensible gas safety checks across the West Midlands.
For landlords, gas safety checks are a legal responsibility. For homeowners and buyers, they are often about peace of mind, especially if the boiler or gas appliances are older, have not been checked recently, or you are not sure what condition they are in.

What’s the difference between a gas safety check, a boiler service and a home buyer report?
A gas safety check focuses on whether the gas appliance is safe to use. This may include checking for gas leaks, appliance safety, flue performance, ventilation and signs of unsafe operation.
For landlords, this forms part of the required landlord gas safety record. Landlords must arrange annual gas safety checks on gas appliances and flues they provide, and give tenants a copy of the record before they move in or within 28 days of the check.
A boiler service is more focused on the boiler itself. It checks safety, performance, condition and efficiency, helping to keep the boiler working properly and helping spot issues early.
A home buyer gas check is for people buying a property who want to know more about the boiler and gas appliances before fully settling in. It is not the same as a full house survey, but it can highlight obvious safety concerns or appliance issues.

What gas appliances can be checked?
Most West Midlands homes have more than one gas appliance, and it is not always just the boiler that needs checking. A gas safety check can include the boiler, gas hob and gas fire. Before booking, it helps to tell us what gas appliances are in the property so we can arrange the right visit and allow the right amount of time.
Safety checks for your boiler, flue, controls and general operation.
Checking the hob is operating safely and showing no obvious signs of concern.
Gas fires need careful checking, especially if they have not been used or serviced recently.
Visual checks and relevant safety tests on accessible gas pipework connected to the appliance.

Homeowner Gas Safety Checks in the West Midlands
Homeowners do not usually need a landlord-style gas safety certificate, but a gas safety check can still be a very sensible idea.
This is especially true if you have moved into a new property, have an older boiler, have gas appliances you do not use often, or simply want reassurance that everything is safe.
It is a simple way to stop guessing and get a qualified engineer to check the important bits properly.
