What is Lancashire Gas Landlord’s Gas Safety Record?

The only documentation needed by law is a Landlord Gas Safety Record as there is a legal duty on landlords of residential rented properties to have annual safety checks performed on gas appliances provided for their tenants’ use.

You must issue a copy of the Lancashire Gas Landlord’s Gas Safety Record or equivalent Gas safe registered installer’s safety check report to the tenant within 28 days of the check or to a new tenant before they move in.

Maintenance checks on all appliances and flues

You must have a safety check carried out on all appliances and flues annually or within 12 months before the start of a new tenancy. Our team of engineers can perform all relevant safety checks to keep you on track.
