How much does a gas safety check cost in Sheffield?

The cost depends on the number of gas appliances in the property. A single-appliance check is at the lower end, while a property with a boiler, gas cooker, and gas fire costs more due to the additional testing required. Your engineer will confirm the price before the appointment.

What is the difference between a gas safety check and a boiler service?

A gas safety check is a safety inspection of all gas appliances to confirm they are burning gas correctly and venting safely. A boiler service is a more detailed maintenance procedure focused specifically on the boiler, including internal cleaning and component inspection. Many landlords book both together for efficiency.

Who Needs a Gas Safety Check?

Under UK law, landlords must have all gas appliances in their rental properties checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The engineer issues a Gas Safety Record (commonly called a CP12 certificate) that must be provided to tenants within 28 days of the check and kept on file for at least two years. Failing to comply can result in fines, prosecution, and invalidated insurance.

Homeowners are not legally required to have a gas safety check, but it is strongly recommended. Carbon monoxide leaks from faulty boilers and gas fires are silent and odourless — they cause dozens of deaths in the UK each year. An annual check gives you peace of mind that your appliances are burning gas safely and venting correctly.

Our engineers check every gas appliance in the property, including the boiler, gas hob, gas fire, and any exposed gas pipework. If they identify a fault, they will explain the issue and provide a quote for the repair. Dangerous appliances are isolated immediately in line with Gas Safe regulations. Many landlords combine a gas safety check with a boiler service during the same appointment.

What Happens During a Gas Safety Check

Appliance Inspection

The engineer visually inspects each gas appliance, checking for damage, signs of incomplete combustion (sooting, staining), and correct installation. Gas connections and flexible hoses are examined for wear and compliance with current standards.

Flue and Ventilation Check

Every flue is checked for correct termination, secure connections, and proper function. Room ventilation is assessed to confirm that each appliance has adequate air supply for safe combustion. Blocked or incorrectly terminated flues are flagged immediately.

Operational Testing

Each appliance is fired up and tested under operating conditions. The engineer checks gas pressure, flame picture, and uses a flue gas analyser to confirm safe combustion ratios. Carbon monoxide spillage tests are performed where applicable.

Certificate Issued

If all appliances pass, the engineer issues your Gas Safety Record (CP12 certificate). Landlords receive a copy for their records and one for each tenant. If an appliance fails, the engineer explains the fault, the risk level, and provides a repair quote.
