JFES provides landlord gas-safety checks. The price depends on the number and location of appliances; our rates page sets out the single-boiler fee and additional-appliance charge.
Checks and records
HSE guidance requires relevant landlord-provided gas appliances and flues to be checked at least every 12 months by an appropriately Gas Safe registered engineer. Records should be retained for at least two years, with a copy given to existing tenants within 28 days and new tenants before they move in.
Where a letting agent is involved, agree who will arrange maintenance and checks, and confirm the work is actually completed. Ask us about the appliances, flues and pipework at your property before booking.
What the engineer checks
As appropriate to the appliance and installation, checks cover gas tightness, operating pressures and gas rate, ventilation, flue operation, safety devices, physical stability and signs of unsafe operation. Findings and any necessary follow-up work are explained in the safety record. A safety check does not replace routine maintenance.
Carbon monoxide alarms
Scottish private landlords must provide suitable carbon monoxide detection where required by the Repairing Standard. An alarm does not replace maintenance or gas-safety checks. Use the current Scottish Government guidance for your property.
