Gas safety checks in Wimbledon
Wimbledon's housing runs from the Victorian and Edwardian terraces around South Wimbledon and Haydons Road to inter-war semis in Raynes Park and larger detached houses towards the Village and Wimbledon Park, with a good number of period houses split into flats along the way.
Family houses on longer lets
Many Wimbledon lets are family homes on longer tenancies. Older system boilers with hot water cylinders, gas fires in living rooms and range cookers are common, and each appears on the record as a separate appliance.
Flats near the town centre and stations
Around the town centre and the stations there are purpose-built blocks and converted houses let to commuters, usually with a combi boiler and a hob. These checks are quick, and the main things to watch are flue terminals near windows and boxed-in boilers.
Garages and utility rooms
In semis and detached houses, boilers are often in a garage or utility room. The engineer checks there is enough ventilation, that nothing is stored against the appliance and that the flue clears safely.
What the engineer does on the day
The installation is tested for gas tightness at the meter. Each landlord appliance is then checked for safe installation, correct combustion, a working flue and adequate ventilation, and its safety devices are tested. The record lists every appliance and flue with its result. If an appliance fails, it is made safe and labelled, the record says why, and the repair or replacement is quoted separately in writing. The main gas safety page covers what is and is not included.
Landlords in Merton
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require a check every twelve months by a Gas Safe registered engineer, a copy of the record to existing tenants within 28 days, a copy to new tenants before they move in, and the records kept for two years. The check can be done up to two months before the expiry date without losing the anniversary, which makes it easy to keep every property on a fixed date.
Planning the visit
We agree a time with the tenant and keep to it. A flat with a combi boiler and hob takes under an hour; a larger house with several appliances takes longer.
Typical faults in Wimbledon homes
Larger and older Wimbledon houses tend to show the same handful of issues.
Older open-flued appliances
Older boilers and gas fires that draw air from the room need permanent ventilation. If vents have been blocked to stop draughts, the appliance can fail.
Range cookers
Range cookers in family kitchens need a stability device and correct clearances. These are checked and recorded like any other appliance.
Flues near extensions
Rear and side extensions can leave a flue terminal under a new roof or beside a new window. The engineer checks the terminal position against the current standards.
A gas record when you sell or relet
If you are letting a family house in Wimbledon for the first time, or between long tenancies, it is worth having the check and a boiler service done before the photographs and viewings. Any failed appliance can then be dealt with before the tenancy start date rather than after.
