CLEAR SCOPE, USEFUL FINDINGS
The right inspection for the decision you need to make
A pre-purchase heating inspection is not the same as a landlord gas-safety check or a full intrusive survey. We confirm the purpose and visible scope before the visit, explain any limitations, and direct you to the most appropriate next step. That prevents a generic checklist from being mistaken for a guarantee about concealed pipework or future component life.
- Purpose confirmed before booking
- Visible components assessed
- Safety concerns prioritised
- Repair or upgrade options explained

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Heating System Surveys & Gas Safety in Oxfordshire
What is included in a pre-purchase heating inspection?
We agree the scope before attendance. A typical visual inspection considers the boiler, controls, radiators and accessible heating components, then highlights apparent condition, obvious concerns and recommended next steps. It is not an intrusive survey of concealed services.
Is a heating survey the same as a landlord gas safety check?
No. They serve different purposes. A landlord gas safety check addresses the relevant legal gas-safety requirements, while a heating survey considers the wider visible heating system within an agreed scope.
Can Oxyplumb install a gas hob or oven?
Yes, where the appliance, location, ventilation and existing services are suitable. A Gas Safe registered engineer will complete the connection and required checks.
Do homeowners need an annual gas safety certificate?
The legal duties for landlords differ from homeowner responsibilities. Regular servicing and safety checks are still sensible; our office can help you book the appropriate service for your circumstances.
Which areas do you cover?
Our engineers cover Witney, Carterton, Faringdon, Oxford and towns and villages throughout West Oxfordshire, the Vale of White Horse and nearby Cotswold communities.
