What we get called out to
The faults that make up most of the work, and what usually causes them
First let coming up
You need the certificate before the tenant moves in, and a copy given to them at the start of the tenancy
Renewal due
Twelve months from the last one. It can be done in the last two months without shortening the next period
Agent asking for the paperwork
Letting agents will not market a property without a current one, and they will chase you rather than the engineer
Just bought a rental
The previous owner’s certificate does not transfer with the property. You need your own
Tenant reporting a problem
A reported fault is not a reason to wait for the annual check. Get it looked at, then certify
Several properties to do
Worth grouping them. Where they are close together they can go on one visit
Who carries out and signs the certificate?
The check is carried out and certified by a Gas Safe registered engineer, under their own registration number. That number is what appears on the CP12, so you know exactly whose registration sits behind the document you are relying on
Booking, access, tenant liaison and the paperwork coming back to you are handled by us. For a landlord that is the part that usually goes wrong, and it is the part we take off you
What does a gas safety check cover?
Every gas appliance in the property, the pipework and the flues. Each appliance is checked for gas tightness, correct operation, adequate ventilation and safe flue performance, and anything unsafe is recorded and acted on rather than noted for later
It is an inspection, not a service. A check tells you the appliance is safe today; a service cleans it and keeps the manufacturer warranty valid. Plenty of landlords have both done in the same visit, which saves a second appointment
When does it need renewing?
Every twelve months. You can have it done in the last two months of the current certificate without losing the time left on it, so booking slightly early costs you nothing
A copy goes to the tenant within 28 days of the check, and to a new tenant at the start of the tenancy. Keep them for two years — that is the record that matters if anything is ever questioned
