Gas certificates

[Russell]

Just wondering if u guys fill in a gas safety certificate after every gas job. As the training centre I re sat my ticket at said that gas safe were only really interested in appliances with flues. Therefore hobs and cookers didn't really need certificated to gas safe?

I dont know the answer what others do but arent they pretty interested in flueless fires too ??

I fill them in for pretty much every service I do. I think quite a few people seem to charge more for a gas safety certificate over a normal boiler service so perhaps I'm missing a trick.

If I'm doing repairs or similar then I never fill one in.

Hi russel .Best to give paperwork for everything. Even a service . I believe that any gas appliance flued or no must be documented. Or even if I work on a gas pipe , I'll do a tt and print our results and your covered

Russell you are kinda overlapping two things, a gas safety certs or other suitable paperwork isn't mandatory for every job, but it could be seen as good business to provide it for the customer along with the invoice, looks more professional and gives them something else with your number on it for the future, appliances with flues require to be notified to local building control via a competent persons scheme or direct to local building control

So if u installed a hob its not mandatory to register it with gas safe

 

[Russell]

But are you registering them with gas safe kris or just issuing customer a safety sheet

No hob is not notifiable but I would issue a homeowner / landlord cert. and an invoice! . While your there offer a boiler service, or purge and relight note any defects .

Your training center sound a bit gaff. All gas appliances can kill and all should be treated with same respect. Gas safe don't matter they don't kill people you will. Slow steady and safe. Get some regin service pads and some regin inspection pads. They have all the bullet points you need when starting off. Nothing like missing some thing out.

What need official Notification under Building control is here:

As said by others Giving some paperwork for everything you do is professional.
If it is a Gas Safety Inspection Report (landlords) there is a legal requirement for it to include certain info. You are probably already using the correct paperwork for this.

Just a customer gas safety check sheet or homeowner gas check.

Russell, it has to be notified to building control, either directly or via a competent person scheme, of which Gas Safe is one (of the better ones I might add haha) but in the case of the hob, no it doesn't need to be notified as it doesn't have a flue, aga/range type cooking appliance would as they have a flue

Probably the only pieces of gas paperwork that are mandatory would be benchmark (now compulsory) LGSC and warning notice, everything else is good practice
