Understanding the Gas Safety Inspection Process: What to Expect
What happens during a gas safety check? A Gas Safe registered engineer from Preferred Gas will visit your Durham property at a time that suits you. They'll visually inspect all accessible gas pipework and then test each gas appliance. Testing involves checking the operating pressure, burner performance, flue effectiveness, and safety devices. We’ll then provide a detailed report outlining any issues found and any remedial work required. The whole process usually takes around 30-60 minutes, depending on the number of appliances.
