Homeowners aren't — but most of the reasons the law exists for tenants apply equally to your own family. Carbon monoxide doesn't discriminate. An annual gas safety check is a systematic inspection of every gas appliance in your home: boiler, gas fire, gas cooker, hob, and the pipework connecting them. We test for leaks, check combustion, inspect flues and ventilation, and confirm everything is safe to use. Particularly important in older properties (pre-2000), homes with gas fires, properties where work has recently been done on the gas supply, or any home where you simply want documented proof that your gas installation is safe. ## Real Work Examples ## Carbon Monoxide and Gas Safety — The Real Risks Roughly 30 people die from carbon monoxide poisoning in the UK each year, with thousands more hospitalised. CO is colourless, odourless and undetectable without instruments. The single most effective protection is annual professional inspection of every gas appliance. Gas appliances over 10 years old are statistically far more likely to develop combustion faults - Open-flue gas fires are the highest-risk appliance type in UK homes - DIY-modified gas pipework or appliances are responsible for many serious incidents - Carbon monoxide alarms are a safety net, not a substitute for professional inspection - A working CO alarm is mandatory by law in any room with a fuel-burning appliance ## Our Process 1 ### Visual Inspection All visible gas pipework, appliances, ventilation and flues inspected for damage, corrosion or signs of unsafe modification. 2 ### Tightness Test Full gas tightness test of the installation to detect any leaks — even tiny ones — between the meter and every appliance. 3 ### Appliance Checks Each gas appliance tested individually — gas pressure, burner condition, flame picture, flue gases (combustion analysis), safety controls. 4 ### Ventilation & Flue Air supply to combustion checked, flue routing and termination inspected, draught tested where appropriate. 5 ### Certificate Issued Written domestic gas safety certificate issued on the day, listing every appliance checked and confirming overall safety status. ## Why Choose Conroy ### Peace of Mind Documented proof that every gas appliance in your home is safe — particularly valuable in homes with children or elderly relatives. ### Catches Faults Early Combustion problems detected by analyser long before they become dangerous or expensive to fix. ### Insurance & Conveyancing Useful documentation for home insurance claims and property sales — proves due diligence on gas safety. ### All Appliances Covered Boiler, fires, cooker, hob, pipework — we check every gas-burning fitting in the house. ### Same-Day Certificate Written certificate issued on the day, listing every appliance and confirming safety status. ### Gas Safe Registered All checks carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer with 25+ years of UK gas experience. ## Technical Detail ### Difference from a CP12 A CP12 is the landlord version — same checks, but with the legal status of a landlord gas safety record. A homeowner check is the same level of inspection without the landlord-specific paperwork. ### Combustion Analysis Modern gas safety checks include flue gas analysis — measuring CO and CO₂ in the flue gases with a calibrated analyser. This is the single most important safety test and detects combustion problems no visual check could find. ### Flue Inspection Boiler and gas fire flues are checked for correct routing, secure joints, no blockages, and compliant termination. Open-flue fires are inspected for draught, ventilation provision and any signs of spillage. ### Gas Cooker & Hob Cookers are tested for leaks at the bayonet or rigid connection, flame condition, and flame supervision device operation. We also confirm cooker stability where bayonet-connected. ### Carbon Monoxide Alarms UK regulations require a CO alarm in every room containing a fuel-burning appliance. We'll check yours is positioned correctly and within its expiry date, and supply/fit replacements where needed. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### svg]:rotate-180 text-left font-semibold text-foreground hover:text-accent hover:no-underline py-4" data-radix-collection-item="">Is a gas safety check legally required for homeowners? ### svg]:rotate-180 text-left font-semibold text-foreground hover:text-accent hover:no-underline py-4" data-radix-collection-item="">What's the difference from a boiler service? ### svg]:rotate-180 text-left font-semibold text-foreground hover:text-accent hover:no-underline py-4" data-radix-collection-item="">How long does a gas safety check take? ### svg]:rotate-180 text-left font-semibold text-foreground hover:text-accent hover:no-underline py-4" data-radix-collection-item="">Do you check gas fires and cookers too? ### svg]:rotate-180 text-left font-semibold text-foreground hover:text-accent hover:no-underline py-4" data-radix-collection-item="">Will you give me a certificate?
