Know the condition before problems spread
Clear records, not guesswork
You get documented findings that show what was checked and what needs attention next.
Checks beyond the appliance
Flues, ventilation and gas tightness are inspected as part of the wider safety picture.
Useful before deadlines bite
If a certificate is due, we help you get the evidence and follow-up actions clearly set out.
When you need proof that gas is safe
A formal gas safety inspection is about more than a quick glance and a signature. We inspect the condition of the gas installation, check gas tightness, assess combustion, look at flues and ventilation, and test the safety devices that help keep the property safe in day-to-day use.
This is the visit people usually need when documented evidence matters, such as a property sale, a landlord deadline or peace of mind after changes to an appliance or pipework. With Hereward Gas Ltd, you get a proper inspection and a clear record of what was checked.
What we check and what you receive
Good access makes a big difference. We need to reach the gas meter, the appliances, any flue routes and the ventilation points so the inspection can be done thoroughly. The document from Hereward Gas Ltd records the appliances covered, the findings and any safety actions that need attention, so you can see the condition of the installation in plain terms.
That is different from routine servicing, which focuses on the maintenance of one appliance. If you are arranging the visit, it helps to say how many gas appliances are on site and why the certificate is needed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an inspection and a service?
A gas safety inspection checks the safety of the gas installation and records the findings. A boiler service focuses on the condition and running of the boiler itself. If you need evidence of gas safety, the inspection and certificate are the key parts.
What access do you need for a gas safety inspection?
We need access to the gas meter, each appliance being inspected, flue routes and ventilation points. If cupboards, loft spaces or boxed-in pipework affect access, it helps to mention that before the visit so we can plan properly.
When do people usually ask for a gas safety certificate?
Common reasons include landlord duties, property sales, insurance queries, checks after alterations, or simply wanting a written record of safety. A visit from Hereward Gas Ltd gives you a document that sets out the findings clearly.
