Gas CH Boiler (Tips)




There could be a time in the life of your boiler, when it needs some repair to a defective component etc. or just seems lethargic. This could be due to lack of use or need of a service. It may be that you are confident and practically minded enough to complete either on your own, however you must be aware of the safety side of any attempt to work on such equipment. If you ever suspect a gas leak you must immediately contact the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999. Soho Plumbers will service and repair any piece of plumbing equipment.

Top tips:
a). Install carbon monoxide detectors around the home. If a leak is detected, call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.
b). Use a Gas safe registered engineer like Mayfair Plumbers to ensure that it's running correct and safely. This will also give a guarantee for the work and a point of contact.
c). Try and use the system at least on at least one occasion every four weeks or so. This will flush the pipes/ radiators and pump and not allow sediment to settle.
d). Keep all flues and vents clear and uncovered.

Are you a tenant? If so your landlord has the duty to ensure all gas appliances, especially the boiler are inspected annually. You should be in possession of the CP12 Gas Safety Certificate covering:

If all checks below are within the regulations, then, a gas safety certificate (CP12) will be issued.

Stationary and working pressures are tested if a point of test is available

Appliances (gas) must be checked for thorough gas tightness

Gas Safe engineers check burner pressure and gas rate and compare with the makers data plate.

Inspect for the provision of all necessary ventilation.

Combustion products are removed by testing the flue flow parameters.

Flame out devices are tested for correct and safe operation.

Checks will be made for stability, and safety of any brackets fitted.

Report any unsafe findings.
