To ensure your gas appliances are operating efficiently, effectively and safely, it is important to have them checked every 12 months. SP Gas and Heating checks all appliances, the gas supply and issues a certificate for a fixed price of £65. We also send a reminder through the post 1 month before the check is due so we can arrange a date in good time - your appliances are always up to date. There is a list of frequently asked questions regarding servicing at the bottom of the page. As standard we check the following on the gas supply:

![]() When checking a Worcester 35cdi like the one pictured, we carry out all the other checks listed. We also clean out the condensate trap to prevent it from blocking up resulting in failure of the appliance. We use dust sheets to protect the area we work in to minimise the mess and disruption to your property. This boiler was installed in 2008 by SP Gas and Heating and has been safety checked every year since, just like the vast majority of appliances which are routinely checked this one has not broken down or needed to have the pressure altered by the homeowner. At your request we can set your timings settings to ensure your appliance is operating as and when you require it to do so. This picture shows an operating pressure test. Checking the the combustion ratio of gas boilers is now compulsory for newly installed boilers as it is for existing installations. This Ideal Independent was installed on the third of March 2014 for a landlord in Timperley, Altrincham and the Combustion check is part of the commissioning proceedure. Even if your boiler was installed by another company we can still check this annually for you. This is the current style of gas safety certificate which we issue. If you would like your copy posted to your address, for example if you are a landlord, we can do this for no extra charge. Or if you prefer not to have a paper copy and have one scanned and emailed to your inbox we can also do this free of charge. This picture shows a soundness test (checking for gas escapes) and is a requirement that this is completed whenever ANY gas work is carried out in your property. We always test for gas soundness and document our findings on your certificate. If you would prefer a printed proof of the gas test we can also provide this (extra charges apply) We also check the pressure to the property is correct. This is essential to maintaining the safe and efficient operation of your appliance(s). Another requirement is that your meter is installed correctly and labelled accordingly.
