SAFEXE LTD Gas, Plumbing & Heat Pumps recently carried out a landlord gas safety inspection and boiler service at a property in Exmouth.
During the visit, we found a cracked burner inside the boiler. This was a serious safety-related fault that needed immediate action.
A warning notice was applied and the appliance was made safe in line with gas safety procedures.
Why landlord gas safety checks and boiler servicing matter
A landlord gas safety certificate, often referred to as a CP12, is not just a paperwork exercise.
A proper inspection can identify faults that may not be obvious to the tenant, landlord or letting agent.
On this Exmouth boiler service, the cracked burner was only found because the appliance was inspected properly.
Issues like this can affect:
Boiler safety
Combustion performance
Boiler efficiency
Reliability
Manufacturer warranty protection
Long-term repair costs
Tenant safety
Regular servicing gives landlords, homeowners and tenants far more confidence that the heating system is being checked properly.
Cracked burner found and boiler made safe
Once the cracked burner was identified, the correct safety process was followed.
The boiler was made safe and a warning notice was applied.
This protects the occupants, the landlord and the property while the next steps are arranged.
Depending on the boiler age, condition, parts availability and overall repair cost, the options may include repair or boiler replacement.
