Gas Safety Certificates

When letting a property, it is a legal requirement to hold a valid Landlord's Gas Safety Certificate.

• Reliable - contact within 24 hours
• Safe - all our Engineers are registered Gas Safe

Landlords gas safety comes with legal duties and obligations. A Landlords legal duties apply to a wide range of accommodation including:

• Residential properties that are let by local authorities, housing associations, private sector landlords, housing co-operatives, hostels
• Rooms let in bed-sit accommodation, private households, bed and breakfast accommodation and hotels
• Rented holiday accommodation such as chalets, cottages, flats, caravans and narrow boats on inland waterways

The Gas Safety Certificate must be presented to a tenant prior to them moving into the property to rent. It is advisable that you order the Landlords Gas Safety Certificate at least 2 - 3 weeks before the tenancy start date. This is to ensure that time is given should the Gas Installer recommend mandatory work.

Landlords Gas Safety Certificates must be carried out by an engineer that is registered with the Gas Safe Register. The Engineer must be qualified to work on specific gas appliances and gas heating systems.

When we visit a property, we will carry out a Gas Safety Inspection and later produce a Landlords Gas Safety Certificate or Gas Safety Record. Our Gas Safe engineer will produce a standard Gas Safey Certificate which can be identifiable with a Gas Safe Register logo. The Gas Safety Record will also have the Engineers Gas Safe Identification number on it. The Gas Safety Certificate will also contain information such as: Property Address; The Gas Appliances in the Property and where they are located; The Date of the Inspection; Any Defects to the Gas Supply and any necessary remedial action.

If our Gas Engineer considers that the Gas Installation or Gas Appliances are unsafe, he may choose to leave a warning notice for the landlord or in some cases, may disconnect the appliance. In this instance, you must seek to rectify any mandatory maintenance or repair on the appliances or installation.

If work is need on a Gas Appliance or to the gas installation, this will be noted on the Gas Safety Certificate. Once the work has been carried out, the paid invoices from our Gas Engineer can be attached to the safety certificate to prove that the work has been carried out. This will prevent you from having to have a new Gas Safety Certificate.

Gas inspections must be carried out annually by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. A copy of the new Gas Safety Certificate must be given to the tenants within 28 days of the Gas Inspection.
