Prepare your gas safety visit in Greenwich
For a gas safety instruction in Greenwich, Woolwich or Eltham, distinguish landlord-provided appliances from equipment brought in by an occupier. Note any uncertainty about a cooker or portable gas appliance. The engineer and responsible landlord need an accurate description so the scope is not based on assumptions about ownership.
If the property is part of a managed building, explain whether relevant equipment or a flue route involves communal areas. Agree how the building manager will be contacted where necessary. A domestic record relates to the appliances and checks described; it does not certify unrelated building systems.
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.
Gas Safety Certificate questions in Greenwich
Are tenant-owned appliances automatically included in the landlord’s check?
Responsibilities differ. Describe the ownership and installation to the engineer so the scope and any separate action can be explained.
What if a gas appliance is not owned by the landlord?
Identify its owner and describe the installation. The engineer can explain how that affects the intended checks and responsibilities.
Is this a council-run service?
No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
