Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords are required to ensure that their properties have an active Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in place. This certification proves that an engineer has examined the safety of all gas appliances and flues within the premises. All Gas Safe engineers carry a photo identification card that you must ask to see before any work is completed at your home. The card confirms that the engineer is registered on the Gas Safe Register. Safety Certificates A gas safety certificate, also known as a CP12 is an official document that guarantees the safety of your gas appliances and flues. It must be issued by a gas safe registered engineer and is a vital legal requirement for landlords as well as the owners of B&Bs and hotels. It is recommended that homeowners have a gas safety check performed annually by a qualified tradesperson to prevent accidents that could be dangerous. The CP12 can be used to confirm the quality of all gas appliances and other equipment on your property by an experienced and experienced engineer. They will look at crucial data and determine if or not the installation is working correctly and according to the standards for safety. They will also examine the safety of flues and fireplaces. The engineer will then fix the issue and record it on the CP12. They will then issue you with an updated version of the certificate to confirm that all gas equipment is safe for use. Landlords are legally obliged to conduct annual inspections of their non-domestic properties flues and gas appliances, as outlined in The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to adhere could result in hefty penalties or fines. During the inspection, the engineer will test all appliances within the property and also their connections and flues. The engineer will also assess the condition of any gas-related installations such as the boiler and the pipework. They will also record their findings on the CP12 which must be handed out to tenants within 28 days of the inspection. Boats and leisure vehicles that are used for recreation purposes, such as caravans and lodges, must be regularly checked by a registered gas safe engineer to ensure they are in good working order. The engineer will inspect all the gas appliances and equipment in the boat or vehicle, including the flues and connection points. The engineer will then provide the owner the “Landlord Gas Safety Record For Leisure Accommodation”, or CP2.

Carbon Monoxide Leaks Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a dangerous gas that can be released from defective gas appliances. It is a colorless and odourless gas that can cause poisoning to people who breathe it. It can affect the brain and blood. Carbon monoxide detectors, or audible alarms are the most effective method to detect CO leaks. It is also recommended to make sure that your gas appliances and flues inspected regularly by an Gas Safe registered engineer.
