Landlord Gas Safety Certificates

As a landlord you are legally required to arrange for a landlord’s annual gas safety check to be carried out on every gas appliance and flue provided with each rental property to ensure that each gas fitting and appliance is safe to use.

Checks must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is competent and qualified to work safely and legally with domestic gas appliances. Once your certificate is complete we can send an electronic copy to you immediately.

Gas Safety (CP12) Certificate

Our landlord gas safety certificate, also called a CP12, service is designed to ensure you meet your legal obligations with as little fuss as possible.

We work with numerous property managers and letting agents and are happy to liaise with your tenants on your behalf.

Carbon Monoxide Alarms

We can also check that your carbon monoxide alarms are in good working condition. As a landlord you must also ensure that a carbon monoxide detector is installed in a room where solid fuel is used.

A good example is in a room with a gas fire or open fire in it. Fires used solely for decorative purposes do not require a CO2 alarm is fitted.

Gas Safety Certificate Checklist

Check appliance for gas tightness.
Check standing and working pressure if test points available.
Check burner pressure / gas rate against manufacturers data plate.
Check for satisfactory provision of all necessary ventilation.
Test flue flow to ensure removal of products of combustion.
Check satisfactory operation of all the flame failure devices.
Check for physical stability, presence and effectiveness of stability brackets (where appropriate).
Investigate any evidence of unsafe operation and report to a responsible person. An appliance can not be deemed as having been checked, until the above has been completed.
For a Landlords Safety Record inspection a tightness test of the full system should be added to the above.
