Also homebuyer gas safety inspections and mortgage-lender pre-purchase checks. ### Who it's for Landlords with rental properties (legally required annually); letting agents managing multiple properties; homebuyers wanting confidence in gas appliances before completing; sellers preparing a property for market. ### When you need it Annually for every rental property, the certificate is valid for 12 months from issue. Before purchase for buyers. Before letting starts on a newly-let property. ### Why professional matters Renting a property without a valid Gas Safety Record is a criminal offence with unlimited fines and possible imprisonment. It's also required by every reputable letting agent and by most landlord insurance policies. And it's a genuine safety check, carbon monoxide from a faulty appliance still kills tenants every year. Why act now ## What ignoring the problem actually costs The mistakes that turn small jobs into big bills, and how a qualified engineer keeps them from happening. ### No certificate = no legal let Section 21 evictions can be blocked, and landlord prosecutions have resulted in six-figure fines and prison sentences. Not an area to cut corners. ### Cheap 'certificates' that skip checks A proper inspection includes a tightness test at the meter, a combustion analysis on every appliance, and a physical inspection of every flue. A £45 'certificate' from someone rushing 6 jobs a day rarely does any of that. ### Late renewals You can renew from 10 months in without losing the 12-month validity, but leave it to the last week and you're at the mercy of engineer availability. ### Missing appliance history If any appliance has failed inspection historically it needs re-checking and re-documenting. Missing this is how prosecutions start.

Accredited & trusted by the brands we install The detail ## Gas Safety Certificates, in depth Materials, methods and variations, the specifics that separate a proper install from a rushed one. ### What a proper CP12 inspection includes Tightness test at the gas meter to detect leaks in the pipework. Every gas appliance in the property visually inspected and combustion-analysed with a calibrated flue gas analyser. Flues inspected for integrity and correct termination. Ventilation checked against appliance requirements. Safety devices (flame supervision, oxygen depletion sensors, TRVs on cookers) operationally tested. Standing and working pressures recorded. Any 'immediately dangerous' or 'at risk' findings actioned and documented. ### Landlord obligations under the law Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must have every gas appliance and flue inspected annually by a Gas Safe engineer, keep records for 2 years, and provide a copy of the current Gas Safety Record to tenants within 28 days of the inspection and to new tenants before they move in. ### The 10–12 month renewal window You can carry out the inspection any time in the 2 months before expiry without losing the 12-month validity, renew in month 11 and the new certificate is valid until 12 months after the old one expired, not 12 months after issue. Useful for keeping annual dates consistent. ### Homebuyer and pre-purchase inspections Not legally required for buyers, but strongly advisable. A homebuyer inspection identifies dangerous or expensive-to-fix appliances before you commit, occasionally material to price negotiation, always useful for peace of mind. ### Combining with an annual boiler service For landlords, combining the Gas Safety inspection with an annual boiler service is efficient, one visit, one fee, both documents issued. Also keeps the boiler warranty protected. Frequently asked ## Gas Safety Certificates, your questions answered ### How much does a landlord Gas Safety Certificate cost? Fixed price agreed on the phone based on the number of gas appliances (usually 1–3 in a typical rental). No day rates or per-appliance surprises. ### Is a Gas Safety Certificate legally required? Yes, for every rental property with gas appliances, annually. Not having one is a criminal offence. ### How long is the certificate valid? 12 months from the date of issue. Renewal can be done from 10 months in without losing the annual date consistency. ### How quickly can I get one issued? Same day for the certificate itself, usually available within days for the appointment, faster in emergencies. ### Do you serve letting agents managing multiple properties? Yes, happy to work with letting agents on scheduled portfolio inspections. ### Do you also service the boiler at the same time? Yes, combining a Gas Safety inspection with a full boiler service on the same visit is common and often cheaper than booking separately. ### What happens if something fails the inspection? Immediately dangerous appliances are disconnected on the spot with the tenant's knowledge; 'at risk' appliances are recorded on the certificate with recommendations. We quote any remedial work in writing. ### Can I get a copy by email? Yes, digital copy on the same day, paper copy on request.
