They will check for any signs of damage, wear and tear, or potential hazards that could pose a risk to safety. If any issues are identified, the engineer will provide recommendations for remedial action to address them.

Once the inspection is complete and your gas appliances are deemed safe, the Gas Safe registered engineer will issue a Gas Safety Certificate. This document serves as proof that your property’s gas installations comply with safety regulations and are safe for use.
