Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords must ensure that their properties are equipped with a valid Gas Safety Certificate. This certification proves that a licensed engineer has examined every gas appliance and flues in the home, and that they are safe to use. Gas Safe engineers all carry a photo ID card. You should ask to verify it prior to any work that is carried out on your property. This card confirms the engineer's registration on the Gas Safe Register. Safety Certificates Gas safety certificates, also referred to by the acronym CP12, are official documents that confirm the safety of your gas appliances. It must be issued by a gas safe registered engineer and is an important legal requirement for landlords as well as the owners of hotels and B&Bs. It is recommended that homeowners have a gas safety check every year by a qualified tradesperson to prevent accidents that could be dangerous. The CP12 is used to ensure that a qualified and experienced engineer has inspected all the gas appliances and equipment on your home. They will review the critical information to determine if the installation is functioning correctly and in compliance with necessary safety protocols. They will also examine the safety of flues and fireplaces. If a problem is identified, the engineer will note it on the CP12 and will take the necessary steps to rectify it. The engineer will then issue an updated version to verify the safety of all gas equipment. Landlords are legally required to schedule annual inspections of their non-domestic properties' gas appliances and flues, as per The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. In the event of a violation, it could result in substantial fines or penalties. During the inspection, the engineer will test the appliances, their connections, and flues. They will also assess the condition of the pipework and any other gas-related installations, such as the boiler. They will also record the findings on the CP12 which is required to be provided to tenants within 28 days of the inspection. Gas registered engineers who are safe must check vessels and leisure boats like caravans and lodges regularly to ensure they are in good working order. The engineer will check all gas appliances and equipment and also the flues and connection points in the vessel or vehicle. They will then provide the owner with an “Landlord Gas Safety Record for Leisure Accommodation” or CP2.

It is also an excellent idea to ensure that your gas appliances and flues inspected regularly by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
