Plumbing and heating services by Jones The Pipe
We carry out thorough, professional Gas Safety Checks in Dorchester, helping homeowners, landlords, and letting agents meet safety regulations and protect their properties. With our experienced Gas Safe registered engineers and deep local knowledge of Dorchester’s weather and property types, we make sure your gas systems are safe, efficient, and compliant with UK law.
Dorchester’s unique climate, with its damp winters, coastal winds, and fluctuating temperatures, places extra strain on gas boilers, fires, and heating systems. Over time, these conditions can lead to:
Given these factors, a Gas Safety Check isn’t just about compliance—it’s about preventing dangerous issues like gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and equipment failure. These inspections ensure everything is running safely and efficiently before the winter season when usage increases dramatically.
For landlords, it is a legal requirement to have a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) issued every 12 months. For homeowners, it’s a smart preventative measure that could save lives—and costly repairs—down the line.
At Jones The Pipe, we take your safety seriously. That’s why our Gas Safety Checks in Dorchester follow a structured and detailed inspection process, covering:
We inspect all gas appliances (e.g., boilers, cookers, gas fires) to ensure they are operating correctly. This includes checking flame colour, burner pressure, thermostat response, and appliance controls.
We assess whether your flues and chimneys are removing gases safely and effectively. Inadequate ventilation can lead to carbon monoxide build-up—a major risk in older Dorchester homes with sealed windows or dated heating systems.
We test the gas pressure at appliances and at the meter to ensure optimal performance. Our engineers also use calibrated equipment to check for leaks in pipe joints, fittings, or valves—no guesswork involved.
All appliances are tested for safety devices, such as flame failure protection, pressure relief valves, and temperature cut-outs. These are crucial in case something goes wrong unexpectedly.
If everything passes the inspection, we issue a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) valid for 12 months. If there are any faults, we’ll explain them clearly and recommend remedial work.
We offer transparent pricing with no hidden costs. The cost of a Gas Safety Check will depend on the number and type of appliances and whether it’s a domestic or rental property. Get in Touch; We’ll provide a clear, competitive price based on your needs.
