Landlord Gas Safety Certificate in Boldon Colliery Terraces

Not as a rule. A colliery terrace may have a gas fire or older cooker alongside the boiler, and those count if the landlord supplied them. Say so when you book and we will confirm whether the visit includes them.

Every 12 months, before the previous certificate expires, the same cycle whether the property is a colliery terrace or a newer semi.

The landlord's own gas appliances and flues are checked, with the pipework and ventilation that serve them. If an older gas fire is fitted in a former colliery terrace, tell us your setup when you book and ask which appliances are included.

Not a new inspection as such while the current record is in date, but the incoming tenant should get a copy before moving in. If the record is close to expiry, it can make sense to book the next Boldon Colliery check around the changeover.

It means an engineer's name appears on the UK's official Gas Safe Register, the legally recognised register for gas work, whether a Boldon Colliery property is a colliery terrace or a newer semi.

That depends on who can let us in. If the tenant is out, the landlord or a key holder needs to be there, so sort out access before booking the Boldon Colliery visit.

We will tell you what has failed and why, whether it's an older appliance in a colliery terrace or the boiler in a newer semi, and explain what fixing it involves.

Mention it when you book and we will let you know whether a boiler service can be done during the same Boldon Colliery visit.

Yes, homeowners across Boldon Colliery, from the former colliery terraces to the newer semis near the welfare grounds, can book the same safety check even if the property is not a rental.

Turn off the gas at the meter if it is safe to reach, open windows and doors, do not use any electrical switches or naked flames, leave the property, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. This applies whether you're in an older terrace or near the welfare grounds.
