Prepare your gas safety visit in Kensington and Chelsea
For a gas safety instruction in Kensington, Chelsea or North Kensington, include the practical route to appliances in the booking brief. Equipment may be behind a cupboard door or in a space controlled by someone other than the occupier. Explain known access restrictions so the engineer’s attendance can be planned realistically.
If an interior refurbishment has enclosed or relocated equipment, provide the available installation details and tell the team before the visit. Do not remove finishes or open the appliance to create access. Any further access requirements should be discussed with the engineer and responsible property manager.
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 Kensington and Chelsea
Should I remove a cupboard or decorative panel before booking?
Do not undertake technical or building alterations on that assumption. Describe the situation and ask the engineer what access needs to be arranged.
Can photographs help explain restricted access?
They can help describe the enquiry, but they do not replace inspection or establish whether technical access is adequate.
Is this a council-run service?
No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
