What happens during a visit?
Confirm the service
The engineer confirms the premises or mobile unit, appliance count, fuel type and requested inspection.
Inspect the installation
Relevant appliances, pipework, isolation, ventilation and safety controls are examined within the booked service scope.
Test the system
Applicable pressure, tightness, combustion, flame-failure, interlock or ventilation checks are completed.
Record defects
