Landlords’ Gas Safety Record (CP12)
Ensure Safety and Compliance with a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)
As a landlord in the UK, it is your legal responsibility to ensure that any gas appliances in your rental properties are safe for tenants. A Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is essential for demonstrating compliance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Our professional team provides comprehensive gas safety inspections and certifications to help you meet your obligations and ensure the safety of your tenants.
What’s Included in Our Gas Safety Inspection?
Our Gas Safety Certificate service includes a thorough inspection of all gas appliances, installations, and flues. The following checks are performed:
- Appliance Checks: Each gas appliance is inspected to ensure it is functioning correctly and safely, including gas cookers, boilers, and fires.
- Flue and Ventilation Assessment: We check that flues and vents are clear and functioning correctly to prevent any harmful gases from accumulating indoors.
- Gas Pressure Test: We measure gas pressure to ensure it is within safe limits, which is crucial for efficient appliance operation.
- Safety Devices Testing: Any safety devices, such as automatic shut-off valves, are tested to ensure they are operational.
- Compliance Documentation: After the inspection, you will receive a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) documenting the results of the inspection, any necessary repairs, and confirmation that the appliances are safe to use.
