Professional Gas Safety Inspections Across Mid Glamorgan
A proper gas safety check is more than just a glance at the boiler and a signature on a piece of paper. It’s a thorough inspection of every gas appliance in the property, the pipework feeding them, the flues carrying combustion gases away, and all the safety devices that sit between a working system and a dangerous one. Jeff Woods & Son carries out gas safety checks across Mid Glamorgan for homeowners wanting peace of mind, landlords meeting their legal obligations, and anyone taking on a new property who wants to know exactly what they’re dealing with. Every inspection is carried out by a Gas Safe Registered engineer following the proper protocols, with clear documentation provided on completion. If you’d like to book an inspection, please get in touch at a time that suits.
Landlord Gas Safety Certificates
If you're letting out a property in Mid Glamorgan, you're legally required to have an annual gas safety inspection carried out on every gas appliance, pipework, and flue in the property. The resulting CP12 certificate needs to be issued to tenants within 28 days, retained for at least two years, and renewed every twelve months without fail. Our team handles landlord gas safety inspections regularly across the region, working around tenant schedules, issuing certificates promptly, and keeping records of the work we carry out for our customers.
We understand that landlords often have multiple properties and tight compliance deadlines, so we'll work with you to make the process as straightforward as possible. Where issues are identified during the inspection, we can usually carry out the necessary remedial work directly rather than leaving you to find another contractor.
What's Included in a Gas Safety Check
A full gas safety inspection covers every gas appliance in the property, the pipework supplying them, the flues taking combustion gases out, and the various safety devices that protect against leaks and carbon monoxide. We check for tightness on the gas supply, verify combustion performance on each appliance, inspect flue integrity, confirm ventilation is adequate, and test safety shut-off devices where fitted. Anything that doesn’t meet current standards is clearly documented, and we’ll talk you through what we’ve found before leaving.
If immediate safety issues are identified, we’ll explain exactly what needs doing and why, and we can usually carry out essential remedial work there and then. The whole inspection typically takes between 45 minutes and an hour and a half, depending on how many appliances are in the property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the questions we get asked most often about gas safety checks across Mid Glamorgan.
For landlords, gas safety checks are legally required every twelve months on all gas appliances, pipework, and flues in any rental property. For homeowners, there’s no legal requirement, but an annual check is strongly recommended as good practice, particularly if you have older appliances or haven’t had an inspection for several years. Many households combine their gas safety check with an annual boiler service, which is a sensible and efficient approach. If you’re unsure when your last inspection was or whether you’re due one, we can talk it through and book you in at a suitable time.
A typical inspection takes between 45 minutes and an hour and a half, depending on how many gas appliances are in the property and how accessible they are. A single-boiler household usually takes under an hour, while a property with a boiler, gas cooker, gas fire, and multiple appliances across different rooms will naturally take longer. We always take the time to do the job properly rather than rushing through it, and we’ll talk you through any findings before we leave. You’ll receive the relevant certification and paperwork either on the day or shortly afterwards.
If we find an issue during a gas safety check, we’ll classify it according to the severity of the problem and talk you through exactly what it means. Immediately Dangerous or At Risk appliances will typically need to be isolated until they’re fixed, and we’ll explain what’s needed to put things right. In most cases, we can carry out the necessary remedial work ourselves, whether that’s a boiler repair, a replacement part, or more significant work on the heating system. You’ll be kept informed throughout the process and nothing is done without your approval.
Yes, a lot of our customers combine gas safety inspections with annual boiler servicing, and it’s an efficient way to stay on top of both safety and maintenance in a single visit. A boiler service is more detailed than the boiler element of a standard safety check, covering cleaning, performance testing, and preventative work that keeps the unit running well for longer. Where a manufacturer warranty requires annual servicing to remain valid, combining it with your safety inspection is a straightforward way to keep everything in order.
Yes, we regularly incorporate safety inspections into wider central heating projects, particularly where a customer is upgrading or replacing parts of their system. Whenever significant work is carried out on a central heating system, it’s sensible to verify that all gas connections and appliances are operating safely on completion, and that’s something we include as standard on larger installations. If you’re planning heating work and want everything inspected and certified on completion, let us know when you book.
Yes, we often combine gas safety inspections with other plumbing and heating work, including bathroom installation projects. If we’ve been carrying out a bathroom installation and there are gas appliances in the property that haven’t been checked for a while, it’s a convenient time to bring everything up to date in one go. Many of our customers prefer to consolidate jobs this way, and we’re happy to plan it in however suits best.
