Prepare your gas safety visit in Richmond upon Thames
For a gas safety check in Richmond, Twickenham or Teddington, describe any gas fires or secondary appliances as well as the central heating. If equipment is retained but rarely used, tell the booking team its status. An inventory should reflect what is present rather than only what the occupier regularly switches on.
Where the property includes a basement, loft conversion or separate accommodation, identify relevant equipment locations and access arrangements. Do not make assumptions about a flue or ventilation from external appearance. The engineer needs to consider the actual installation and will explain any further access or action required.
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 Richmond upon Thames
Can the team confirm a safe outcome from photographs alone?
Photographs may help explain the enquiry, but they do not replace the required checks or establish a safe result.
Can I identify a flue’s safety from its external appearance?
No. Leave technical assessment to the appropriately qualified engineer and explain any known access limitations.
Is this a council-run service?
No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
