Landlord Safety Certificates

Are you breaking the law?

In 1996, new Government legislation stipulated that all landlords who rent part, or all of a property, must have all gas appliances and pipework checked annually by a CORGI registered engineer and be awarded a certificate (CP 12) to prove it.

What does the check involve?

We will send one of our Gas Safe registered engineers to the required property to conduct the following checks:

• Checking appliances for gas tightness
• Checking standing and working gas pressures
• Checking burner pressure and gas rate against manufacturer's data plate
• Checking for essential ventilation
• Testing the flue flow to ensure the removal of combustible products
• Checking the operation of all flame failure devices
• Checking for physical stability and effectiveness of brackets
• Investigating any evidence of unsafe operation and reporting this to a responsible person
• For a Landlord's Safety Record inspection, a tightness test of the full system is added

What happens next?

If successful you will receive a CP 12 certificate which proves that all gas appliances within the property in question are safe. If our engineer finds fault he will advise you on why the appliance has not passed the various checks and whether is can be repaired of if a new appliance is required.
