Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate

Every landlord is required to ensure that their properties have an authentic Gas Safety Certificate. This certification proves that a licensed engineer has examined every gas appliance and flues in a property, and has confirmed that they are safe to use.

Gas Safe engineers all carry a photo ID card. You should request to check it out before any work is carried out on your property. The card confirms the engineer's registration on the Gas Safe Register.

Safety Certificates

A gas safety certificate, also referred to as a CP12 is a government-issued document that guarantees the safety of your gas appliances and flues. Gas safe registered engineers must issue the certificate. It is a legal requirement for landlords, hotel owners and B&B owners. To prevent dangerous accidents, it is recommended that homeowners have an annual gas safety inspection performed by a certified tradesperson each year.

The CP12 can be used to verify the quality of all gas appliances and other equipment on your property by an experienced and experienced engineer. They will review the critical information to determine if the installation is working properly and in compliance with necessary safety protocols. They will also inspect flues and chimneys to ensure they are safe.

The engineer will then correct the issue and record it on the CP12. The engineer will then issue a revised version to confirm the security of all gas equipment.


Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations from 1998 stipulate that landlords must perform annual inspections of their non-domestic gas appliances and flues. Failure to adhere could result in heavy 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 as well as any other gas-related installations like the boiler. They will also write down their findings on the CP12 which must be provided to tenants within 28 days of the inspection.

Gas registered engineers who are safe must check leisure accommodation vehicles and boats like lodges and caravans, regularly to ensure they are in good working order. The engineer will examine the gas appliances and equipment as well the connection points and flues in the vehicle or vessel. They will then supply the owner with a "Landlord Gas Safety Record for Leisure Accommodation" or CP2.
