What Happens During the Inspection
During a gas safety inspection we check:
Each appliance is tested and recorded individually on the Gas Safety Certificate. If any concerns are identified during these checks, further inspection and testing can be arranged to fully assess the issue.
Booking Your Inspection
To keep our service organised and efficient, all inspections are booked and confirmed in advance.
Appointments are secured at the time of booking, allowing us to plan each visit properly and ensure punctual, reliable service.
Once your appointment is confirmed, you will receive clear details of your booking, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
Once the inspection is completed, your Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is issued on the same day.
Where additional work is required, this can be arranged separately following a detailed inspection and clear quotation.
LPG Gas Safety Inspections
Gas safety inspections are also available for properties using LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas).
While the inspection process follows the same safety principles, LPG systems require an understanding of their specific setup, particularly in properties such as rural homes, holiday accommodation, and off-grid installations.
Direct Gas & Heating is qualified to carry out LPG gas safety checks and issue certificates where required, ensuring systems are safe and compliant.

Attention to Detail
Every inspection is carried out with a careful and methodical approach, ensuring that all relevant appliances, connections, and safety components are properly checked.
This includes verifying the safe operation of appliances, checking ventilation, assessing flue performance, and confirming that installations meet current safety standards.
With decades of hands-on experience, issues are not just identified, but properly understood — allowing for clear, practical advice where needed.
The aim is not only to complete a certificate, but to ensure that your system is safe, compliant, and operating as it should.
Where necessary, we go beyond the standard safety check to carry out more detailed inspections and provide practical next steps.
If an Issue is Found during the Gas Safety Check
There is no need for concern — in many cases, issues identified during an inspection are straightforward to resolve.
If an appliance or installation does not meet current safety standards, the issue will be clearly recorded on the certificate and explained to you in straightforward terms.
In many cases, faults are minor and can be resolved through adjustment or repair. Where further work is required, a separate inspection visit can be arranged to fully assess and carry out the necessary repairs. Where a repair is needed, a clear quotation will typically be provided within 24 hours.
Our approach is always to provide clear advice, explain your options, and ensure any work is completed to the appropriate safety standards.

Landlord Gas Safety Responsibilities
UK law requires landlords to ensure that all gas appliances, pipework, and flues provided for tenants are safe to use.
Gas appliances must be inspected by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months, and tenants must receive a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate.
Regular inspections help protect tenants from gas leaks, fire risks, and carbon monoxide exposure while keeping properties compliant with safety regulations.
