Gas safety certificates in Belgravia.
Annual gas safety checks for let houses, lateral flats and mews homes across Belgravia, by Gas Safe registered engineers, with the record emailed the same day.
Covering SW1X and SW1W. Monday to Saturday 9am to 8pm, Sunday 9am to 3pm.
Heating systems in Belgravia homes
Belgravia's larger houses often have commercial scale heating: several boilers in a basement plant room, large hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and sometimes gas fired pool heating or gas fires in reception rooms. Lateral flats may share plant with neighbouring units. Mews houses usually have a single boiler, but often in a tight space where flue routing is restricted by the narrow street.
The scale matters because the check must cover every gas appliance and flue the landlord provides.
Checking larger installations
The core tests are the same as in any home, but there is more to cover.
Plant rooms
Boilers in a plant room are checked for combustion, flue performance, ventilation and safety controls. Where boilers are above domestic size, specific competence is required, and we arrange an engineer qualified for that equipment.
Gas fires and fireplaces
Decorative and living flame fires need their flues and chimneys checked as well as the appliance. A disused flue that has been blocked must not be serving an appliance.
Kitchens
Range cookers and professional style hobs are tested, along with any interlocks fitted to kitchen extract systems.
Landlord obligations
Gas appliances and flues provided by a landlord must be checked every twelve months by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The tenant receives a copy of the record within 28 days, a new tenant before moving in, and records are kept for at least two years. The check can be done up to two months before the anniversary without losing the date.
Corporate and diplomatic tenancies
Lettings in Belgravia are frequently corporate or diplomatic, managed through property managers with their own procedures. We work within those, including advance notice and named engineers, and send the record to the managing agent on the day.
Mews flues
In a mews, a boiler flue terminating at low level onto the cobbles or close to a neighbour's window is a common issue. If a terminal is not in a compliant position, moving it may involve the freeholder because it affects the building's exterior. We explain the options and can quote for the work.
Defects and repairs
Dangerous appliances are made safe with your agreement on the day. Other issues are recorded with a quote for repair, servicing or boiler replacement.
Embassies, residences and larger households
Belgravia has a concentration of embassies, official residences and homes let on company tenancies. Where a property is let as a residence, the gas safety duty rests with whoever is the landlord under the tenancy, and the annual check, the record and the copy to the occupier all apply in the same way as any other let.
Large households often run more than one boiler, a separate water heater, a range cooker and gas fires in reception rooms. Each appliance the landlord provides is checked and listed on the record, with its location, the flue type and the result. An appliance that has been capped or disconnected is noted as such so there is no doubt about its status.
You can have the check done up to two months before the anniversary of the last one without losing the existing expiry date, which helps where a household's diary is booked well ahead. Records must be kept for two years, and we send a copy that can go straight to your property manager or agent.
Range cookers and catering kitchens
Several Belgravia houses have large range cookers or semi professional kitchens. A domestic range cooker is checked like any other cooker: its stability, its connection, safe ignition and clean burning. Catering grade equipment installed in a home needs an engineer qualified for that type of appliance, so tell us at booking what is fitted and we will send the right person.

Gas safety certificate (CP12) in Belgravia: your questions.
Yes, every gas appliance the landlord provides is checked. Larger boilers need an engineer qualified for that equipment, which we arrange.
Yes, if it is connected and provided by the landlord, including its flue or chimney.
Yes. We follow their access and notice procedures and send the record to them.
It depends on the position and distances. The engineer records whether it complies, and we explain what would be needed if it does not.
It is emailed the same day as the check.
Yes. A check carried out within the two months before the anniversary keeps the original expiry date, so the next one is still due on the usual date.
