Prepare your gas safety visit in City of London
This page concerns the City of London, the Square Mile, rather than all of Greater London. For an instruction around Barbican, Golden Lane or Blackfriars, identify the dwelling and any building-management requirements. A household may receive heat from plant outside its own accommodation, so confirm the actual gas arrangement before requesting a domestic certificate.
Where gas equipment serves more than one dwelling, responsibility and access may involve a building owner or managing agent. Share the relevant contact route with the booking team without sending security codes in an initial enquiry. A check for one flat should not be presented as certification of an entire block.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
Safety check, not a boiler service.
A landlord gas safety check examines the relevant gas appliances and flues within the agreed scope. The resulting record is commonly called a Gas Safety Certificate.
Use a Gas Safe registered engineer qualified for the work involved. A boiler service is a separate activity and does not automatically provide a landlord gas safety record.

Agree the visit
Arrange a keyholder and tell occupiers what to expect. Share previous records and known access restrictions before the appointment.
Read the findings
Review the report or record and any action required. Repairs, further investigation and repeat visits must be agreed separately.
