Gas Safety Certificates (CP12)

For landlords in the UK, ensuring gas safety is not just a responsibility—it's a legal obligation. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require that all gas appliances, fittings, and flues in rental properties are safe and maintained in good condition. A Gas Safety Certificate, also known as a CP12, is the official document that proves your property meets these stringent safety standards.

Our Gas Safety Certificate service is comprehensive, reliable, and conducted by Gas Safe registered engineers who are experts in the field. During the inspection, the engineer will:

• Check All Gas Appliances: Every gas appliance in the property, including boilers, cookers, and gas fires, will be thoroughly examined. This includes checking for correct gas pressure, ensuring appliances are burning gas safely, and verifying that ventilation pathways are clear and unobstructed.
• Inspect the Pipework and Flues: The gas pipework and flues will be inspected for any signs of leaks or damage. Ensuring that gas is being transported safely throughout the property is crucial for preventing potential hazards.
• Test Safety Devices: The engineer will also test safety devices, such as carbon monoxide detectors, to ensure they are functioning properly and providing adequate protection.

Once the inspection is complete, you will receive a detailed Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), which will include:

• A List of Checked Appliances: Each appliance that has been checked will be listed on the certificate, along with any safety issues that were identified and recommendations for remedial action.
• Safety Results: The certificate will document the results of the safety checks, confirming whether the appliances meet the necessary safety standards.
• Validity and Expiry Date: The certificate will state the date of inspection and when the next inspection is due. The CP12 is valid for 12 months, and it’s essential to renew it annually to remain compliant.

The safety of your tenants is paramount, and a Gas Safety Certificate ensures that you are fulfilling your legal duties as a landlord. Additionally, having a CP12 not only protects your tenants but also shields you from potential legal action and fines that can arise from non-compliance.
