Gas Safe Inspection

[ratpig]

Hi guys,

Our new business is having it's first inspection from Gas Safe next month so I was wondering if there are any tips or advice about what to expect??? I can then pass any information on to our registered engineer so he doesn't worry too much.

Thank you.

They just watch you do a job and ask you questions on the job your doing and a few questions on drop tests and ventilation etc. Nothing to mind blowing, they are quite nice to be honest

im getting my first one next month also, but they want to see installation work that'll get you off probation quicker, if you just do a landlord certificate or service i think it takes longer.

I just serviced my next door neighbours Worcester and he was fine with that - he did say they where busy round my way so maybe thats why he signed me off straight away.

thats what the gas safe guy told me on the phone, ive got him on a friday at 1.30pm so hopefully hes just chokin to get to the pub lol

lol.
Thank you guys.
On the probationary period he has to notify Gas Safe of all work that is carried out, but is this diffrent from notifiable work which is registered on the website?? Where can I download a list of notifiable work so I can check if our engineer is doing things properly?

They are o.k not there to catch you out, if you do anything daft then you could be in for hard time but just think safety . I only showed one last year as could not get access anywhere .

Just take your time, as said they are not there to catch you out, make sure your FGA and gas gauges are calibrated and in date, and youve got plenty of smoke pellets and gas caps in your toolbox, warning notices and stickers etc

You'll be fine!!

its a doddle, no different to the old corgi inspections, actually i think it was not as hard. I think that you need to look confident but not cocky.

Had mine yesterday, bloke was ok, nice cup of coffee and a decent chat. Can't fault em. If you can get through an ACS an inspection is a doddle.
