Landlords and safety certificates

In 1996 the government made law that all landlords who rent part, or all of a property, MUST have all gas appliances and pipe work checked and a certificate to prove it every 12 months. .

If you are a landlord with your gas appliances unchecked, call us today for your Landlords Gas Safety Certificate (CP 12) or get a quote and book online.

What does a Landlord Gas Safety Inspection Include?

A South East Gas Service registered engineer will check the following during a Landlord gas safety inspection:

1. Check appliance for gas tightness.

2. Check standing and working pressure if test points available.

3. Check burner pressure / gas rate against manufacturers data plate.

4. Check for satisfactory provision of all necessary ventilation.

5. Test flue flow to ensure removal of products of combustion.

6. Check satisfactory operation of all the flame failure devices.

7. Check for physical stability, presence and effectiveness of stability brackets (where appropriate).

8. 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.

9. For a Landlords Safety Record inspection a tightness test of the full system should be added to the above.

Landlords or their agents have a statutory duty to:

• Ensure that fittings and flues are maintained in a safe condition. This means that you should have gas installations and appliances serviced regularly and keep a record of the service.

• Have a safety check carried out on all gas appliances and flues annually or within 12 months before the start of a new tenancy.

• Check gas installations and appliances immediately before the start of any new tenancy, even if the gas safety certificate is still current.

• Have all installation, maintenance and safety checks carried out by a GAS SAFE Registered engineer only.

• Keep a record of each safety check for 2 years – the GAS SAFE Registered engineer will issue this.

• Give a copy of the GAS SAFE Registered safety check report to each current tenant within 28 days of the safety check, or to new tenants before occupation.

The statutory regulations are: Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. These regulations are enforced by the Health and Safety Executive.
