When should you arrange a check?
Plan checks alongside regular maintenance and the manufacturer’s servicing instructions. Discuss any gaps in appliance history or changes to your home.
- An unclear or incomplete service history
- Buying a home with unfamiliar appliances
- Building work affecting ventilation or flues
- Concerns about an appliance's condition
Your home. Your appliance history.
Buying or selling a home
A recent record can provide current information about the gas appliances checked. It is a point-in-time record, rather than a building survey.
- Review the history of boilers, gas fires and other appliances
- Keep findings with the property's existing records

Safety check or boiler service?
A safety check assesses safe operation. A boiler service is maintenance following the manufacturer’s instructions and may include cleaning or adjustment.
- Confirm whether servicing is included before booking
- A safety check does not replace effective maintenance
- A combined check and service can be arranged where appropriate

Frequently Asked
Questions
What is a homeowner gas safety certificate?
It is a written record of the agreed checks on domestic gas appliances and related flues. It records the findings and any recommended action at the time of inspection.
Which appliances can be checked?
The visit may include boilers, gas cookers or hobs, gas fires and other domestic gas appliances agreed before the appointment. Confirm your appliance list when booking.
How often should homeowners arrange servicing?
HSE advises regular maintenance and servicing at least annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions too.
Does a gas safety check replace a boiler service?
No. A safety check assesses safe operation, while a service is maintenance carried out to the manufacturer’s requirements. Ask about a combined visit if both are needed.
Can a check help when buying or selling a home?
Yes. It can provide current findings where appliance history is unclear. It remains a record of the inspection and is not a building survey or a guarantee of future performance.
What happens if a problem is found?
The engineer explains the concern and the next steps. A suspected unsafe appliance should not be used until checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Follow the engineer’s advice about repair, servicing or replacement.
