What Is a Landlord Gas Safety Check?
A Landlord Gas Safety Check is a legal requirement under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Landlords must inspect all gas appliances, fittings, and flues in their rental properties annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Our checks include:
- Inspect gas appliances, such as boilers, cookers, and fires, to ensure they operate safely and efficiently.
- Checking flues and ventilation to ensure proper air circulation and safe gas combustion.
- Testing for gas leaks and carbon monoxide risks.
Provide a detailed report and issue a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) if the property meets the required standards.
