Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 require landlords to have gas appliances checked by a registered engineer at least once every 12 months.
Let us take care of it for you. Our office team can liaise with your tenants to arrange safety checks, while our engineers are expert in ensuring all gas appliances and flues are maintained in good working order.
We’ll also make sure the paperwork is taken care of, keeping the record of inspection that ensures you’re legal and compliant.
Most importantly, regular gas safety checks can help to keep your tenants and your property safe, helping to avoid accidents, injuries or even fatalities.
Your Gas Safety Register checklist:
- All gas appliances provided by you must be safety checked at least annually
- You must keep records of these checks for at least 2 years
- You must provide a copy of the record to tenants within 28 days
- Gas safety checks must be carried out by a Gas Safe Registered engineer
- Details must include date of the check, address, appliance checked and location
- Records must clearly indicate any defects and remedial action
If you’re not sure if you need a gas safety check, ask us! We’ll know.

Need your oil-fired system checked?
Legally, landlords don’t need a safety certificate for oil fired systems. But BS 5410 does mean that oil fired appliances and equipment should be serviced periodically in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. To look after your tenants and avoid any leaks or emergencies, you should also check oil storage tanks and supply pipework.
Our Oftec registered engineers are trained and equipped to carry out thorough checks. You can call to book an inspection any time.
