It is important to have all of your gas appliances checked annually for safe operation. Proper maintenance of gas appliances reduces the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, which can be caused by faulty or poorly maintained appliances and can be fatal. Regular servicing and gas safety checks will also improve the efficiency and performance of your appliances.

Receiving your Gas Safe report
All of our heating engineers are Gas Safe registered, adhering to the rules and regulations of the Gas Safe Register. The engineers we use work to ensure that your gas appliances are installed correctly and meet the relevant regulations.
After one of our heating engineers has carried out a gas safety inspection, they will issue you with a Gas Safety Report. This report provides the description and location of each appliance checked, explains what checks have been carried out, any remedial work required or completed, that it meets the correct safety standards, and when it needs to be serviced again. The engineer can also issue a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate on completion of gas appliance services and safety checks.
Pimlico Plumber’s team of heating engineers are managed by our Technical Service Managers, to ensure that they carry out work safely and effectively.
Gas Safe registered engineers
It is vital that any gas work you need completing is carried out by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. You should never, under any circumstances, attempt any kind of DIY gas work. Jobs carried out illegally each year by workers that are not on the Gas Safe Register are putting people’s lives at risk, potentially leading to a gas leak, fire, explosion or exposure to carbon monoxide, all of which can be fatal.
Pimlico Plumbers adheres to the rules and regulations of Gas Safe Register, and our Gas Safe Registration Number is 27656.
