Prepare your gas safety visit in Sutton
When arranging a gas safety visit in Carshalton, Wallington or Cheam, check the appliance list against the property as it stands today. Note replacements, removals and appliances left by an earlier occupier. The booking team needs the present arrangement, not simply a copied description from an old letting advert.
If the landlord lives elsewhere, nominate a local keyholder who can provide the agreed access and contact the responsible person if questions arise. Have the earlier record ready where available. Attendance, inspection findings and any further work remain subject to the actual property and the confirmed scope.
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 Sutton
Can a keyholder attend instead of the landlord?
Discuss this when booking. The keyholder must be able to provide the agreed access and reach the responsible person if needed.
What if an appliance from the last tenancy is still present?
Tell the landlord or agent and booking team. Its ownership and intended use need to be clarified.
Is this a council-run service?
No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
