Ignite Gas are Gas Safe registered and our engineers are Gas Safe certified, to work on all of your gas appliances. In the right hands working with gas is perfectly safe, but in the hands of the unskilled it can be highly dangerous or fatal.

If you are a landlord and rent out your property, you have legal responsibilities to ensure the health and safety of your tenant by keeping the property safe and free from health hazards, including the risk of contracting legionnaires disease.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have issued guidance that it is a landlord’s duty to ensure that their rented property has been assessed the risk of exposure to Legionella for their tenants.
Our testing engineers have years of plumbing experience and are certified risk assessors through RoSPA approved training to ensure that we can help landlords meet their legal obligations to carry our these risk assessments.
For further information and guidance on the legal duties around carrying out Legionella risk assessments, please see:
