Landlord Certification

Landlord Certification

Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (GSIUR) Landlords and Managing Agents have a duty to ensure all gas installation pipework, gas appliances and flue systems owned by them are maintained in a safe condition.  This duty extends to gas and heating appliances including central heating boilers where the appliance is typically located remotely from the main residential area, but which provides heat to that area. 

Health & Safety legislation also requires that gas and electrical safety inspections are carried out in the residential letting, commercial and public sectors. 

At Gracelands we provide the services of qualified, experienced and trusted GasSafe Engineers and NICEIC registered Electricians to meet these demands.
