Gas safety certificate

[DTBPlumbing]

I haven't got the ticket for fires or cookers yet, but can i do a GSC if the property has either?

How you gonna test the appliances then.....

 

[DTBPlumbing]

Thought not..Need a ticket to check flame picture and gas rate on a hob, rubbish.

 

[clarky101]

You certainly do....tickets for fires,cookers and boilers and then a separate one for Co.....where does it all end eh....

 

[DTBPlumbing]

Can i do it and then get it counter signed by a plumber mate who has the cooker ticket?

 

[clarky101]

Hows that gonna work....payment wise......Not supposed to sign anything off for someone else

 

[clarky101]

Plus your the one breaking the law.....

 

[DTBPlumbing]

Just didnt wanna have to turn the job away, never mind. Sooner i get the cooker ticket at least, the better.

 

[clarky101]

Just gone through re-assessment this last week for all mine, don't fit gas fires but need the ticket for landlords certs

 

[DTBPlumbing]

If the property just had boiler and cooker i wouldn't need the fire ticket to do the cert though presumably.

 

[clarky101]

That's right, but when you get to one that has all three and you haven't got one of them tickets....your not doing that job are you...

 

[DTBPlumbing]

Well no ill have to turn them away until i get that ticket. Money's tight and that but you have to speculate....:smile:

a little more to it than flame picture and gas rate, though sadly many dont go past flame picture.

get your application in to the engineers forum.

I appreciate your position REDSAW, but this raises an interesting point: If I get a gsr eng to do a safety cert, do I need to check on the gas safe site that he is covered for all appliance types?

 

[lame plumber]

get him to show you his card and look on the back

yes, just like a ordinary customer would.


To the OP theres a lot more to doing a gas cert on a fire than just gas rating and checking the flame picture. Would you want to be responsible if there is a crack in the chimney in the attic and its spilling CO into the kids bedroom beneath.
