Ed Sirett coughed up some electrons that declared:
I'm not so sure Ed.
When I was trying to sell my late parent's house (ha!), the first thing I did was book a CORGI chap in for a Landlord's Gas Safety check plus boiler service, partly so I'd feel happy leaving it on unattended as frost protection and partly to show the buyers.
For that I did get:
Boiler cleaned; Flue smoke tested;
I didn't get:
[1]Any sort of leak test on the pipework, no manometers, just enough fairy foam to test the joints he re-assembled;No check on the cooker connection;
Boiler condemned due to lazy valve (you may remember, it came up here ages ago).
[1] is rather relevant because upstairs the gas pipe is in 22mm copper across notched joists just under the flooring with no iron plates, so pipe damage quite likely.It was definately a lot less thorough in scope than an electrical PIR, and I can do the latter well enough for my own purposes.
