What should I say about T M Hughes.
Firstly it’s a great company that do a great job at a fair price. Terry the governor came round 1st to view the job (replacing the boiler and changing the system from a pressure system to a combi system) and I received the price of the work to be done the same night, and was very happy with his work ethics and the quote I received. The work was carried out within a week by one of his engineers called Alex, who knew his job and carried out the work to the highest of standards. I could not recommend this company highly enough.
Thanks for a great job.
Atb, Mr S Randall.

I’m extremely happy with the boiler service carried out by Kai. He was very professional, kind, and polite throughout the visit, and his work was completed to a very high standard. Everything was left clean and tidy, which I really appreciated. Communication on the day was excellent, so the whole process was smooth and stress-free from start to finish. A great experience overall — I would highly recommend Kai and the company to anyone looking for reliable and professional service. Thank you!

Terry and his team (with a special mention for Pavell) did a great job of renovating our central heating system. They replaced two of our twelve radiators, a circulating pump and a valve. They then power flushed the whole system. In thirty plus years the system has never worked as well as it does now! They turned up on time, did the job in line with the estimate and provided great follow up to make sure we were happy. We will definitely be using them again.

TM Hughes & Son provides Gas Safety Inspections in Romford, carried out by Gas Safe Registered engineers.

Following the inspection, a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate is issued, confirming that the gas appliances, pipework, and flues within the property are safe and compliant.

As a landlord letting a property, you are legally required to ensure the gas system, appliances, and flues are safe for your tenants to use.

You require a Gas Safety Inspection undertaken by a Gas Safe Registered engineer.

Our Romford gas safety inspections are designed to help landlords meet their legal obligations quickly, clearly, and without disruption to tenants.

One of our qualified engineers will visit your let property and check that the gas system and appliances are safe for use, as required by the Gas Safety Regulations 1998.

Once our engineer has undertaken the inspection and is satisfied that the gas system and appliances are in order, a CP12 certificate is issued.

The CP12 certificate proves a Gas Safe Registered engineer has inspected your property, is safe and is being let legally.

Gas Safety Inspections must be undertaken once every year or at the start of each new tenancy, whichever occurs first.

Who Is A Landlord?

In relation to domestic gas under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 (GS(IU)R 98), a landlord is anyone who rents out a property that they own under a lease that is shorter than seven years or under a licence.

Regardless of whether you are a landlord under GS(IU)R 98, you may be considered a landlord under other related legislation.

Landlords’ duties apply to a wide range of accommodation, occupied under a lease or licence, which includes, but not exclusively: residential premises provided for rent by local authorities, housing associations, private sector landlords, housing co-operatives, hostels rooms let in bed-sit accommodation, private households, bed and breakfast accommodation and hotels rented holiday accommodation such as chalets, cottages, flats, caravans and narrow boats on inland waterways.

The Legislation

As a landlord, you are responsible for the safety of your tenants. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 deal with landlords’ duties to make sure gas appliances, fittings and flues provided for tenants are safe. Appliances, fittings and flues in a communal area but which may be used by tenants are also included.

You are responsible for the maintenance and repair of flues, appliances and pipework provided for your tenants use by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Although there is no prescribed timeframe for these duties, good practice would be the demonstration of regular, annual maintenance checks and subsequent repairs.

You are also responsible for ensuring an annual gas safety check is carried out within 12 months of the installation of a new appliance or flue, which you provide and annually thereafter by a Gas Safe Registered engineer.

You must keep a record of the safety check for two years and issue a copy to each existing tenant within 28 days of the check being completed and issue a copy to any new tenants before they move in.

The Gas Safety Check

A gas safety inspection in Romford is a straightforward and cost-effective process when carried out by a qualified Gas Safe Registered engineer. But first, you need to book a time and date for one of our engineers to visit your rented property.

On the day, our engineer will inspect and test the gas system, appliances and flues present at your property.

Gas appliances include Boilers, Ovens, Hobs and Fires.

The casing of each gas appliance is visually inspected for signs of corrosion, damage and carbon monoxide.

The gas connection to each appliance is checked. Our engineer will ensure they are adequately tightened, and there’s no damage.

The gas flow rate of the appliances is tested to ensure they are burning the correct gas rate. They will be adjusted if necessary.

The safety devices on each gas appliance are tested to ensure they function correctly.

All flues are checked and tested with a gas flow analyser to ensure they expel exhaust gases correctly. The flues are also visually inspected for signs of wear, tear, or damage.

Gas appliances need adequate ventilation to run. Therefore, the air supply around each appliance will be checked.

Rented properties require the correct smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms. Our engineer will check for their presence.

If any faults are found, our engineer will attempt to rectify them there, and then so that your property can be passed. Minor defects can usually be corrected quickly.

If more severe faults are present, we will quote for the work required. Once the fault has been rectified, our engineer will return to pass your property and issue the CP12 certificate.

The CP12 certificate includes the landlord or letting agent’s name, property address, date, description of appliances and flues, any action taken to remedy the faults and the gas engineer’s signature.

Gas Safety Inspections For Home Owners

Gas safety inspections in Romford are not just for landlords. Homeowners may also request an inspection to ensure their gas system and appliances are safe for continued use.
