Prepare your gas safety visit in Wandsworth
When enquiring about a gas safety check in Battersea, Putney or Tooting, describe how heating and cooking are supplied. If the home receives communal heat, establish whether any separate gas appliance remains inside the dwelling. The appropriate scope depends on the actual installation rather than the building’s general heating label.
For a tenancy change, confirm who holds keys and who will receive the report. If shared plant or a separately controlled equipment area is involved, coordinate with building management in advance. Keep the previous record and appliance changes available so the engineer can understand the property history.
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.

Gas Safety Certificate questions in Wandsworth
Can I assume a flat with communal heat needs no gas enquiry?
No. First establish whether gas appliances are present in the dwelling and how the shared plant is managed.
Who should coordinate during a tenancy handover?
Name one responsible contact and agree who holds keys, provides access and receives the report.
Is this a council-run service?
No. LPC is an independent provider. Council resources are linked for guidance and do not imply endorsement.
