In depth
Understand the property decision before choosing.
Before choosing electrical and gas safety referral, check property type, existing certificates, systems, occupancy.
Owners, landlords and operators needing the right qualified safety route. Mayfair begins with the required outcome and the existing property or product conditions before comparing repair, replacement, supply, installation, professional or programme options.
Inspection, testing and certification must be completed by an appropriately qualified professional.
Cost and programme are not inferred from the page title alone. Mayfair checks property type, existing certificates, systems, together with quantity, property access, timing, preparatory work and the delivery model before tailored guidance is given.

Common questions
Good to know.
How often are landlord gas safety checks needed?
For relevant rented properties, landlords have duties around gas safety and annual checks by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The exact responsibility and timing should be confirmed for the property and jurisdiction.
Is an annual service the same as a gas safety check?
No. A service and a safety check have different purposes; the appropriate engineer can explain what is required for the appliance and property context.
What if I smell gas or suspect a gas emergency?
Treat it as an emergency. Follow the gas emergency advice for your area and do not use electrical switches or naked flames. Mayfair should only be used after immediate safety steps are underway.
