Landlord Gas Safe & OFTEC Safety Checks

As a landlord or holiday cottage owner, you have strict legal obligations to ensure the gas and heating appliances in your rental properties are completely safe for your tenants and guests. Wheildons provides comprehensive Landlord Gas Safe checks and OFTEC safety inspections, helping you stay fully compliant with current safety legislation.

By law, landlords must have a registered engineer carry out a gas safety check on all pipework, appliances, and flues every twelve months. Our team is fully Gas Safe registered and qualified to inspect all mains gas and LPG appliances. Furthermore, because a high proportion of rural rental properties and holiday lets across Cumbria rely on heating oil, we also provide professional OFTEC safety checks. This comprehensive dual capability makes us the perfect partner for property managers and landlords across the region.

During our safety inspection, our engineer will check the appliance operating pressure, verify that there is adequate ventilation, test that all safety devices cut off correctly if a fault occurs, and check the flue structure to ensure toxic combustion gases are discharging safely outside. Once the inspection is successfully completed, we issue an official Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) or the relevant OFTEC documentation.

We understand that coordinating access with tenants or managing check-in times for holiday lets can be difficult. Our team handles this process with extreme professionalism, offering flexible booking slots to minimise inconvenience. We work efficiently, communicate clearly with your occupants, and provide you with clear, digital paperwork immediately.
