SAFEXE LTD Gas, Plumbing & Heat Pumps recently carried out a landlord gas safety inspection and Worcester boiler service for a rental property.
This visit was a clear reminder that annual gas safety checks are not just a paperwork exercise. They are there to protect tenants, landlords and properties by making sure gas appliances are working safely.
During the CP12 landlord gas safety inspection, a gas escape was identified from the gas fire. The appliance was disconnected, isolated and made safe. The fire must not be used again until it has been properly repaired or replaced by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
The Worcester boiler was also serviced as part of the visit, helping to keep the heating system running safely, efficiently and reliably.

Why Landlord Gas Safety Checks Matter
Landlords are legally required to have gas appliances checked every year in rental properties. A CP12, also known as a Landlord Gas Safety Record, confirms that gas appliances and relevant gas pipework have been inspected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
But the most important part is not the certificate itself — it is the safety check behind it.
A proper landlord gas safety inspection can help identify:
Gas escapes
Unsafe appliances
Poor combustion
Flue issues
Ventilation problems
Appliances that need repair or replacement
Boilers or fires that should not be used
On this job, the gas fire was found to be unsafe due to a gas escape. It was disconnected and made safe, preventing the appliance from being used until further remedial work is carried out.
Worcester Boiler Service
Alongside the CP12 inspection, we also completed a Worcester boiler service.
Regular boiler servicing helps:
Keep the boiler operating safely
Improve long-term reliability
Reduce the risk of breakdowns
Check combustion and safety devices
Identify issues before they become more expensive
Support manufacturer and warranty requirements where applicable
Whether it is a Worcester Bosch boiler, Ideal boiler, Vaillant boiler or another major brand, annual servicing is one of the best ways to keep a heating system safe and reliable.
