How we can help private home owners
Although there are currently no legal requirements for private home owners to have Gas Safety reports, for peace of mind, home efficiency and general safety we recommend utilising our services.
We are Gas Safe registered (Gas Safe replaced Corgi in 2009), fully insured, professional and polite. Based in Hove we pride ourselves on giving private homeowners an exceptional service.
For no extra charge we can:
- Email invoices and report.
- Remind you when reports need renewals or services are due.
A gas safety report covers all your home gas appliances, we charge on per appliance based structure rather than a blanket fee. We think this is a fairer system (i.e. some people may have an electric hob or communal boiler.)
We recommend getting a report every 12 months, we write the report onsite and you will receive a copy there and then.
We recommend an annual boiler service.
- Flue gas Analysis.
- Gas rate of appliance.
- Adjust gas valve if necessary.
- Clean burner and heat ex-changer.
- Check system water pressure.
- Re pressurize system if necessary and bled all radiators.
- Check expansion vessel pressure.
- Re pressurize expansion vessel if necessary.
Keep your boiler in great condition and prolong its life and efficiency.

Did you know that legally new boilers must be fitted by a Gas Safe engineer?
A flue is basically an exhaust pipe for your boiler, they often run straight out of the back of the boiler, through a wall and outside.
If it has to travel through other rooms first, so via a wall, ceiling or floor (or any type of void), then its known as a Flue in a Void and subject to extra legislation and safety checks.
Along the length of the flue there now needs to be a way of checking the inside to make sure all is well.
That way subsequent Gas Safety engineer can make sure there are no Carbon Monoxide and other poisonous gases leaking around the joins.
Carbon Monoxide or CO is a natural gas created by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. It has no smell, no taste and no colour, making it extremely hard to detect. The effects of carbon monoxide on humans and animals can be deadly – around 40 people die each year in the UK from CO poisoning.
We sell a quality detector priced at £35 each including fitting.
An EPC will only be needed if you are selling your property, these are valid for 10 years.
