Gas Safety Inspection - G2

A landlord is duty bound and may be legally obliged to make sure that their property complies with all current gas safety legislation. Our fully qualified gas-elec group engineers can provide you with a full gas inspection check and report and our service includes the essential annual gas safety certificate and covers up to three gas appliances, for example, a gas boiler, cooker and gas fire. Our check will also identify any hazardous situations such as gas leaks or the presence of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO).

Electrical Safety Inspection – E2

We recommend that your properties would benefit by having fixed wire electrical testing. Your local engineer will undertake the following:

• An inspection and test of the electrical appliances provided to the tenant
• A visual and functional inspection of the electrical installation
• Establish if the correct protective bonding conductors are present
• The circuits on the consumer unit to be listed
• An earth fault loop impedance test on a sample of sockets throughout the property. The highest result from this sample is to be recorded
• A functional test of the RCD
• An assessment of the visual condition of the consumer unit

Boiler Service - BS

• A full boiler service as recommended by the manufacturer and a service report. Regular servicing not only protects the occupants of a property, it extends the life of the boiler and ensures that it runs economically.

Landlord Protection Plan – LPP2

The Landlord Protection Plan (LPP2) is designed to ensure that landlords do not fall foul of the relevant gas and electrical safety legislation. It combines a gas safety (G2) and electrical (E2) inspection with a full boiler service (BS)

Electrical Installation Condition Report

An Electrical Installation Condition Report is an in-depth inspection and test of an existing electrical installation and is reported on a form that complies with the current wiring regulations, BS7671:2008 as amended in 2011.
All of the accessible electrical accessories (socket outlets, switches, etc.) are visually inspected, with 10% of them being inspected internally. This means that the accessories are opened up to expose the wiring and terminals to establish if there is anything to suggest poor installation or quality of materials.

The Installation
The installation is also inspected for the presence of bonding conductors, the correct type and location of switchgear and that the installation is being used correctly.

Detailed Test
A detailed test follows, where a range of tests are carried out on each circuit to determine that the safety measures that have been put in place will operate correctly in fault conditions. This includes determining that the earth fault path is effective enough to result in automatic disconnection of the supply in the event of a fault, that the wiring is in good condition and that the residual current device (RCD) operates quickly enough to avoid any danger to the users of the installation.
As well as checking the condition of the installation, an EICR produces information that would be invaluable to anyone wishing to carry out any work on the installation at a later date.
