Why Gas Safety is Non-Negotiable for Your North East Home
Living here in the North East, we all want our homes to be warm and safe places for our families. But when you use gas appliances – like your boiler, gas fire, or hob – there’s an invisible risk: carbon monoxide. It’s often called the 'silent killer' because you can't see, smell, or taste it, but it can be incredibly dangerous. Getting your gas appliances checked regularly by qualified professionals isn't just a good idea; it's absolutely vital for peace of mind and safety.

Your safety is paramount. At Preferred Gas, all gas safety checks and CO tests in the North East are conducted by fully qualified and Gas Safe registered engineers, ensuring compliance and complete peace of mind.

Understanding Your Gas Safety Certificate
Simply put, a Gas Safety Certificate is an official record confirming that your gas appliances have been tested and checked for safety by a registered engineer. It’s not just about the appliance working; it’s about making sure it's burning correctly, the ventilation is right, and there are no dangerous leaks or issues with the flue. It gives you concrete proof that everything is in order from a safety perspective for a whole year.

Essential for Landlords: The Annual CP12
If you're a landlord in the North East, whether you have a single property or a portfolio across the region, you'll know the Gas Safety Certificate (often called a CP12) isn't optional – it's a legal requirement. Every rental property with a gas supply must have all its gas appliances and pipework checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. You need to provide a copy of this certificate to your tenants within 28 days of the check and keep records for two years. It’s about protecting your tenants and fulfilling your legal duty.
Peace of Mind for Homeowners
Even if you don't rent out your property, getting your gas appliances checked is highly recommended. Think of it as an MOT for your gas setup. A homeowner gas safety certificate confirms that your boiler, gas fire, and other appliances are running safely. It’s a small investment in the safety of everyone living in your home. It’s also a document often requested when you come to sell your property, demonstrating to potential buyers that you’ve maintained your gas systems responsibly.
What Our Gas Safe Engineers Check
When a Preferred Gas engineer comes to carry out a gas safety check in your North East home, they follow a strict process mandated by the Gas Safe Register. This includes checking the gas appliances themselves (boiler, gas fire, hob, etc.) to make sure they're working correctly and safely. They’ll inspect the pipework, check ventilation, ensure safety devices are functioning, and test the flue or chimney to make sure dangerous fumes are being expelled properly. It's a thorough inspection focused purely on safety.
Focused Carbon Monoxide Testing
Integral to every gas safety check we carry out is thorough testing for carbon monoxide leaks. Our engineers use calibrated equipment to detect this harmful gas. They’ll check the atmosphere around your appliances and ensure the flue is doing its job. High levels of carbon monoxide are incredibly dangerous, so this specific part of the check is absolutely crucial for safeguarding your health and the health of your family or tenants. Knowing your system isn't producing this 'silent killer' gives immense reassurance.
