Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate

All landlords are required to ensure that their properties are in possession of a valid Gas Safety Certificate. This certification shows that an engineer has inspected the safety of all gas appliances and flues inside a property.

Gas Safe engineers all carry an ID card with a photo. It is recommended that you see it before any work is carried out on your property. This card confirms that the engineer is a member of 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. Gas safe registered engineers have to issue the certificate. It is a legal requirement for hotel owners, landlords, and B&B owners. To prevent dangerous accidents, it is recommended that homeowners undergo a gas safety inspection conducted by a licensed tradesperson every year.

The CP12 is used to verify that a competent and trained engineer has inspected all the gas appliances and equipment within your home. They will look at important data and determine whether or not the installation is working correctly and according to the required safety protocols. They will also examine the safety of flues and fireplaces.

The engineer will then fix the problem and note it on the CP12. The engineer will then issue a revised version to confirm the safety of all gas equipment.

Landlords are legally obliged to conduct annual inspections of their non-domestic properties' gas appliances and flues, as per The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to do so could result in substantial penalties or fines.

During the inspection, the engineer will test the appliances, their connections and flues. The engineer will then assess the condition of any gas-related installation like the boiler and the pipework. They will also write down the findings on the CP12 which is to be handed over to tenants within 28 days of the inspection.


Boats and leisure vehicles that are used for recreational purposes, such as lodges and caravans, should be regularly inspected by a gas safe registered engineer to ensure they are in good working order. The engineer will check all gas appliances and equipment, as well as the connection points and flues in the vehicle or vessel. The engineer will then issue the owner an "Landlord Gas Safety Record For Leisure Accommodation" or CP2.
