A Gas Safety Certificate is a legal requirement for landlords to prove that gas appliances in their properties are safe. This certificate, also known as a CP12, ensures that boilers, cookers, and other gas installations are functioning correctly and safely.
Landlords must arrange for a gas safety check every 12 months, conducted by a Gas Safe-registered engineer. During the inspection, the engineer will check for leaks, test gas pressure, and ensure appliances are venting correctly. Once the inspection is complete, a certificate is issued, listing all checks performed and any required repairs.
Failure to obtain an annual gas safety certificate can lead to serious penalties, including fines of up to £6,000 or imprisonment in severe cases. It’s also a critical tenant safety measure, as faulty gas appliances can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
The cost of a gas safety inspection typically ranges from £60 to £150, depending on the number of appliances. At Landlords Checks, we offer competitively priced gas safety inspections to help you stay compliant.
