Ensure Tenant Safety with Professional Landlord Gas Safety Inspections

As a responsible landlord, maintaining a safe living environment for your tenants is crucial. One of the most important aspects of this responsibility is ensuring that all gas appliances, fittings, and flues within your rental property are safe and compliant with the law. Our Landlord Gas Safety Inspection service provides a thorough check of all gas installations in your property, ensuring that everything meets the latest safety standards.

What is a Landlord Gas Safety Inspection?

A Landlord Gas Safety Inspection, also known as a Gas Safety Check, involves a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer assessing the safety of gas appliances, pipework, and flues in a rental property. This inspection is not just a legal requirement but also a critical step in preventing potential hazards like gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and fire risks.

Why is a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate Important?

Upon successfully completing the inspection, you will receive a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate, also known as a CP12 certificate. This document is essential for several reasons:

1Legal Compliance: It is a legal requirement under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment.
2Tenant Safety: Ensures that all gas appliances are operating safely, reducing the risk of accidents or health issues for your tenants.
3Peace of Mind: Demonstrates your commitment to safety, protecting your investment and reputation as a landlord.

No Job Is Too Big Or Small

It is a legal obligation for every rented property to have a CP12, annual, gas safety check. The gas safety check has to be carried out on each gas appliance in the property. As a landlord, it is your responsibility to have the gas safety check performed for the safety of your tenants. Your liabilities relate to all the gas appliances in the property and any flues. You must guarantee that appliances are working properly and protect against the risks of any carbon monoxide presence.

Ideally, the tenant should be present for the inspection, but as long as the landlord has legal access to the property, the inspection can be arranged at a convenient time for both parties. It’s important to provide reasonable notice to tenants before accessing the property.

What should I do if a gas appliance fails the safety check?

If an appliance fails the gas safety check, the engineer will advise on the necessary repairs.
