If you’re a new landlord in Farnham, Surrey, or Hampshire, you’re likely learning that managing a rental property comes with more responsibilities than expected. One of the most important (and legally required) tasks is making sure your property’s boiler is safe, functional, and regularly inspected, especially before winter.
At Forte Heating Services, we work with landlords across the region to deliver reliable landlord boiler checks, helping you stay compliant and keep your tenants comfortable.
What Is a Landlord Boiler Check?
A landlord boiler check is an annual inspection of your rental property’s gas boiler and heating system. It must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered heating engineer and is a legal requirement under UK gas safety regulations. Once complete, you’ll receive a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), which must be given to your tenants.
Why Winter Checks Matter
Colder weather increases heating demand, making winter the most critical time for boiler reliability. An unexpected breakdown during the festive season could leave tenants without heat or hot water—leading to complaints, emergency callouts, or even legal trouble.
By booking your boiler safety check early in the season, you reduce the risk of problems and ensure everything is in top condition when it’s needed most.
