Think of a homeowner gas safety check as a health check for your gas appliances and pipework. It's all about giving you peace of mind. Our qualified Gas Safe registered engineer will inspect your gas boiler, cooker, fire, or any other gas appliances you have. We're looking to make sure everything is working as it should be, that there are no gas leaks, and that harmful fumes aren't escaping. Catching a small issue early can prevent bigger, more costly problems down the line and, most importantly, helps keep your property safe for everyone inside.

For homeowners, a gas safety certificate isn't a legal requirement in the same way a CP12 certificate is for landlords. However, many homeowners choose to get one regularly for their own peace of mind. It's a really good way to ensure your gas installations are safe. Plus, if you're thinking of selling your property, having a recent gas safety inspection report can be a positive selling point and something buyers or their solicitors may ask for.

When our Gas Safe registered engineer visits your Liverpool home, they’ll carry out a thorough inspection. This typically includes:

• Checking each gas appliance (like your boiler, gas hob, or gas fire) is working correctly and safely.
• Making sure appliances are burning gas properly and not producing unsafe levels of carbon monoxide.
• Inspecting flues and chimneys to ensure they’re clear and fumes are being safely removed.
• Checking there’s enough ventilation for your gas appliances.
• Testing your gas pipework for any leaks.
• Looking at safety devices to make sure they are operational.
  You'll get a complete report detailing everything that's been checked.

This is a really important point. Anyone working on gas appliances in your home must be on the Gas Safe Register. All our engineers at Response Boiler Repair Liverpool are Gas Safe registered. You can ask to see their Gas Safe ID card when they arrive – it lists the types of gas work they are qualified to do. We're always happy to show this, as your safety is our main concern.

If our engineer finds anything during the inspection that isn't working correctly or is unsafe, they'll explain the situation to you clearly. They'll tell you exactly what the issue is and what's required to fix it. If an appliance is deemed 'Immediately Dangerous', we'll have to make it safe straight away, which might mean disconnecting it. For less urgent issues, we’ll provide advice and a quote for any additional repair work needed, with no obligation. Our priority is to make sure you have all the information to keep your home gas safe.

Once the inspection is complete, you'll receive a certificate (sometimes called a report). This document will include important information such as:

• The address of the property where the inspection was carried out.
• The date of the inspection.
• Details of our engineer and their Gas Safe registration number.
• A list of all the gas appliances and pipework checked.
• The results of the safety checks for each appliance.
• Any safety issues identified and the action taken or advised.
• A statement confirming if the installations are safe or if further work is needed.
