Gas Safety Checks & Certificates
A domestic gas safety check can help identify certain safety issues with the gas appliances and associated components covered by the inspection.
Whether you want to arrange a gas safety check for your home or understand what an inspection involves, our dedicated page explains the process and how to make an enquiry.
The checks carried out depend on the scope of the inspection and the appliances included.
Gas Appliance Installation
Installing a gas appliance requires consideration of the equipment, its location and the existing gas supply. The installation must comply with applicable safety requirements and the manufacturer's instructions.
Whether you're replacing an existing appliance or planning a new installation, find out what to consider before arranging the work.

Discover more about gas cooker and hob services and the factors to consider when arranging work.
Gas Fire Services
A gas fire can provide additional warmth and a focal point in your living space. However, it needs to be suitable for the room and installed and maintained correctly.
Whether you're considering a new gas fire or need assistance with an existing appliance, explore the available services and what to consider before arranging work.
Gas Leak Investigation
If you suspect a gas leak, safety must come first. An investigation should only take place once the immediate risk has been addressed and it is safe for an appropriately qualified professional to attend.
Our dedicated Gas Leak Investigation page explains the service, the importance of identifying the source of a suspected leak and the appropriate next steps.
Domestic Gas Safety: What Homeowners Should Know
Gas appliances must be installed and maintained appropriately to help reduce the risk of gas leaks, fires and carbon monoxide exposure.
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that cannot be seen, smelled or tasted. It can be produced when fuels do not burn properly, including when a gas appliance is faulty or inadequately maintained.
To help keep your home safe:
- Arrange appropriate appliance maintenance in line with the manufacturer's instructions.
- Use Gas Safe registered engineers who are qualified for the work required.
- Keep ventilation openings clear where the appliance requires them.
- Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions.
- Consider installing a suitable carbon monoxide alarm and follow its manufacturer's guidance.
- Seek professional advice if an appliance develops a fault or shows signs of damage.
These measures do not replace a professional inspection where one is required.
Choosing a Gas Safe Registered Engineer
Gas work must be undertaken by an appropriately qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
Before arranging an installation, inspection or repair, check that the engineer is registered for the specific appliance and category of work involved. Registration does not automatically mean an engineer is qualified to undertake every type of gas work.
You can verify registration through the official Gas Safe Register website.
When making an enquiry, explain which appliance you have, describe the work required and provide the make and model if known. This information can help establish whether the service is suitable for your requirements.
If you suspect an active gas leak, follow the emergency guidance above rather than waiting for an ordinary appointment.
Gas Services, Boilers & Central Heating
Gas-related work can overlap with boiler and heating services, but the correct service depends on the appliance and the issue.
For example, a problem with a gas hob requires a different assessment from a boiler that has stopped producing hot water. A cold radiator may relate to the central heating system rather than the gas appliance itself.

FAQs About Domestic Gas Services
What domestic gas services does BoilerCare Cover provide?
Our Gas Services section covers domestic gas safety checks, gas appliance installation, cooker and hob services, gas fire services and gas leak investigation. Availability depends on the specific service and the work required. Contact us to confirm whether we can assist.
What is included in a domestic gas safety check?
The scope depends on the inspection arranged and the appliances included. A check can involve examining relevant appliances and associated components for specified safety concerns. Confirm what the inspection covers and whether a certificate or report will be provided when arranging your appointment.
Is a domestic gas safety check the same as a landlord gas safety check?
Not necessarily. Landlords have specific legal responsibilities for gas safety in their rental properties, including requirements concerning checks and gas safety records. A homeowner's inspection should not automatically be assumed to satisfy those obligations. For rental-property requirements, visit our separate Landlord Services section.
How can I check whether a gas engineer is registered?
Use the official Gas Safe Register website to search for an engineer or business. Check that the registration is current and that the engineer is qualified for the type of work you require.
What should I do if I suspect a gas leak?
Avoid naked flames and do not operate electrical switches. Open doors and windows if safe, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from a safe location. Do not wait for a routine appointment or attempt to investigate the leak yourself.
Why is my gas cooker or hob not working properly?
There can be several causes, depending on the appliance and the symptoms. If you suspect a gas leak or believe the appliance is unsafe, stop using it and follow the appropriate emergency guidance. Otherwise, arrange an assessment by an appropriately qualified engineer rather than attempting a repair yourself.
Why does my gas fire keep switching off?
Possible causes vary according to the appliance and its condition. If a gas fire repeatedly switches off or appears unsafe, stop using it and arrange an assessment by an appropriately qualified engineer. Do not dismantle the appliance or attempt internal repairs yourself.
How often should domestic gas appliances be serviced?
The recommended maintenance schedule depends on the appliance and the manufacturer's instructions. Follow the relevant guidance for your equipment and arrange professional attention if it develops a fault or shows signs of unsafe operation.
