What a gas safety inspection includes:

When do I get my certificates
Once the installation has passed the inspection you will be issued with two copies of your gas safety certificate, one copy for the landlord / agent and one copy for the tenant.
What happens if my installation fails the inspection?
We will only fail an installation if there is a risk of the appliance becoming dangerous or if the appliance or installation is an immediate danger to the life of the occupants of the property. There are a lot of installations which are not installed to current standards these are just noted on the certificate but not failed. However if there is an appliance which fails, a warning notice will be given and the appliance labelled, turned off or with your permission disconnected if immediately dangerous.
