Does anyone know whether gas safety inspections can still go ahead in a tier 3 area? The town has just been moved into tier 3 and inspection is due tomorrow. Don’t want it to be an issue with the tenants. It’s fully agent managed, I’m going to drop them a line but in the meantime if anyone knows I’d be grateful to hear.
Gas safety inspection in tier 3 area?

There's no tier rules anywhere in the UK tomorrow? England is still in lockdown 2.0, while Scotland, Wales & N.I. have national restrictions or Levels.
But to answer your question, gas safety inspection was still required during the original lockdown & shielding when restrictions was stricter, so don't see that not being the case.I am not a lawyer, nor am I licensed to provide any regulated advice. None of my posts should be treated as legal or financial advice.
I do not answer questions through private messages which should be posted publicly on the forum.

When I have arrange Gas Safety Checks, the tenants have n't objected. However, I do advise them to open kitchen window and turn on extractor (which air vent outwards). To vacate the room and allow exchange of air. I also tell them to wear masks. Other members of the family (e.g. should be in other rooms).
I also suggest they wipe down any surfaces where the engineer has been. I do n't know if this is Government advice, but this is what I tell tenants. I have told them, if the engineer turns up without wearing a mask, then they should be refused entry.

by LZBashAs we are now in a national lockdown in England which, from some reports, could become even tighter, getting EICR inspections and any remedial works done is potentially going to be harder.
Coupled with a more virulent form of Covid and increased resistance from tenants to allow inspections...-

by darkstarBaldelectrician is spot on. If landlords have completed the required due diligence prior to the new mandatory legislation, there shouldn't be lots of remedial works to be carried out.
