Legal Gas Safety Certificates for Chiswick Landlords

As a landlord in Chiswick, you have a legal duty to ensure all gas appliances, fittings, and flues in your rental properties are safe. Annual gas safety checks by a Gas Safe registered engineer aren't just recommended - they're a legal requirement that protects your tenants and your business.

We understand Chiswick's diverse rental property market, from period conversions in Bedford Park to modern apartments along the riverside. Our local knowledge, combined with three decades of gas safety experience, ensures your properties meet all legal obligations while keeping your tenants safe.

Failure to comply with gas safety regulations can result in serious consequences including unlimited fines, prison sentences, and invalidated insurance. More importantly, unsafe gas appliances can put your tenants' lives at risk from carbon monoxide poisoning and gas explosions.
