For Homeowners: Every 12 Months Is Strongly Recommended

There’s no legal obligation for homeowners to get annual gas safety checks, but it’s highly advised.

Why you should still do it yearly:

• Prevent carbon monoxide leaks from boilers, fires, or cookers
• Spot corroded or cracked gas pipework
• Maintain manufacturer warranty requirements
• Keep your home insurance valid in case of a gas incident

🛠️ Booking a yearly Gas Safe check in Surrey protects your home, family, and peace of mind.
