Prepare your gas safety visit in Havering
For gas safety enquiries around Romford, Hornchurch or Upminster, describe the equipment and its fuel type accurately. If the home includes portable or LPG equipment, mention it before booking so the team can confirm the appropriate competence and scope. A general reference to heating is not enough to identify every relevant appliance.
Where the meter or boiler is outside the main occupied rooms, arrange access with the person responsible for that area. Retain earlier records and provide a summary of appliance changes. No outcome or certificate status can be promised before the engineer has completed the required checks.
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.

Yes. Describe its type and fuel at enquiry stage so the team can confirm the appropriate scope and competence.
Is this a council-run service?
No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
