Gas Safety Checks
Gas safety isn’t just good practice — it’s a legal and life-saving necessity. At Origin Gas, we carry out thorough Gas Safety Checks to ensure your appliances, pipework, and flues are safe, efficient, and fully compliant with UK regulations.
What Is a Gas Safety Check?
A Gas Safety Check is a detailed inspection of all gas appliances and associated systems in your property. It must be performed by a Gas Safe registered engineer and includes:
Visual inspection of appliances and pipework
Testing for gas leaks and pressure issues
Checking flue and ventilation systems
Verifying correct combustion and burner operation
Confirming safety devices are functioning properly
After the inspection, we issue a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) — your official record of compliance.
⚠️ Why You Should Get It Done
Legal Requirement for Landlords Under the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must arrange annual checks and provide certificates to tenants.
Protect Against Carbon Monoxide Faulty appliances can leak carbon monoxide — a colourless, odourless gas that can be fatal. Regular checks help prevent this risk.
Prevent Gas Leaks & Explosions Early detection of leaks or faulty pipework can prevent serious accidents and costly damage.
Maintain Appliance Efficiency Well-maintained appliances use less fuel, saving you money and reducing emissions.
Peace of Mind Whether you’re a homeowner or landlord, knowing your system is safe means fewer worries and better sleep
What Is Powerflushing?
Powerflushing is a high-velocity, low-pressure cleaning method that circulates a chemical solution through your heating system. It dislodges and removes:
Sludge and magnetite
Rust and corrosion
Limescale deposits
General debris from radiators, pipes, and boiler components
Once the system is flushed, a corrosion inhibitor is added to protect against future buildup
Benefits of Powerflushing
Improved Heating Efficiency: Radiators heat up faster and more evenly.
Lower Energy Bills: A clean system uses less energy to heat your home.
Quieter Operation: Say goodbye to banging pipes and noisy boilers.
Extended Boiler Life: Reduces strain and prevents premature breakdowns.
Prepares for New Boiler Installation: Ensures your new boiler runs efficiently from day one.
How Often Should You Powerflush?
Most systems benefit from a powerflush every 5 to 6 years, depending on:
The age and type of your boiler
The material of your radiators
Water hardness in your area
Whether corrosion inhibitors are regularly maintained
If your system is older or hasn’t been serviced in years, a powerflush may be overdue
