This page is for certificate-led commercial property enquiries where the gas setup is part of a lease, handover, sale, insurance request, managing-agent process or planned maintenance schedule.
Commercial landlords
For landlords preparing a unit for lease, renewal, handover, tenant occupation or agent-managed compliance records.
Managing agents
For agents coordinating access, certificates, boiler checks, commercial kitchen checks or multi-site property records.
Shops and offices
For business premises with gas boilers, heaters, hot water systems or connected gas appliances that need suitable checks.
Restaurants and cafes
For premises where the gas enquiry also includes catering equipment, commercial kitchens, extract-related access or trading deadlines.
Warehouses and light industrial units
For managed commercial units where heating, hot water, gas pipework or appliance records need to be scoped before a visit.
Mixed certificate requests
For properties needing gas, electrical, PAT, EPC or landlord paperwork through one practical enquiry route.
What to send before booking
Commercial property gas work is easier to scope when the duty-holder, property type, appliance list and deadline are clear from the first enquiry.
- Full property address and postcode.
- Property type: shop, office, restaurant, warehouse, commercial unit, mixed-use building or managed premises.
- Who needs the certificate: landlord, agent, tenant, buyer, insurer or facilities manager.
- Gas appliance list, boiler details, catering equipment and fuel type if known.
- Site contact, keys/access process, parking/loading notes and preferred time window.
- Any previous certificate, failed check, warning notice or deadline wording.
What the inspection may include
The inspection must be matched to the property and equipment. Its record should describe the checks completed and any defects or limitations. A report of findings is different from confirmation of a satisfactory result.
- Gas appliances, boilers, heaters, hot water equipment or catering appliances where relevant.
- Visible pipework, isolation, flues and ventilation observations where part of the booking.
- Safe operation and defect observations appropriate to the site and appliance type.
- Advice if repairs, isolation, further access or specialist attendance is needed.
Commercial property gas safety guidance
HSE guidance says gas appliances such as ovens, cookers and boilers can create risks including fire, explosion, gas leaks and carbon monoxide if they are not properly installed and maintained. It also says gas work in workplaces such as shops, restaurants, schools and hospitals must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is qualified to do the work.
Landlord, tenant or business duty-holder?
Commercial property responsibility can depend on the lease, appliance ownership, site control and management agreement. Send the request wording from the landlord, agent, insurer or tenant so the enquiry can be routed correctly.
- Lease and handover requests often need clear property and duty-holder details.
- Business premises may need access planned around trading hours.
- Mixed-use sites may need separate domestic and commercial routes.

Make the property request specific
Before a sale or handover
Ask the recipient what evidence they need and which equipment should be included. A gas inspection records its defined checks; it is not a general building survey, valuation or warranty for future performance.
Before agreeing a price
Explain any shared plant, several occupiers or equipment no longer in use. The appliance types, fuel, access, travel and working hours affect the quotation. Confirm VAT, the record format and any additional work in writing.
Before fixing the date
Identify who can provide keys and authorise an interruption to gas use. Discuss trading hours, permits and reinstatement arrangements. Give the completion deadline so it can be assessed against engineer availability.
Servicing, repairs, parts, separate tightness testing, purging and specialist extraction assessments require an agreed scope; they are not automatically included in a property certificate request. The engineer must still carry out the checks needed to complete the accepted inspection safely.
If the question is about landlord responsibilities, use our commercial landlord inspection page. For a building with different uses or uncertain document requirements, the inspection decision guide helps identify the separate scopes. Business premises do not all share one annual certificate requirement.
For requests involving LPG, declare the supply and appliance details and see the fixed commercial LPG inspection route. Specialist or industrial installations need individual assessment.

Other UK requests
Send the address and installation details for consideration if the property is elsewhere in the UK.

Commercial property gas safety FAQs
Short answers before you call or send the quote form.
What is a commercial property gas safety certificate?
It is paperwork issued after suitable checks on relevant gas appliances or installations at a commercial property. The exact record depends on the premises, equipment and reason for the inspection.
Who needs to arrange the certificate?
The responsible person can depend on the lease, appliance ownership and management agreement. Landlords, tenants, agents or facilities managers should send the request wording so the enquiry can be scoped properly.
Who can carry out commercial property gas work?
HSE guidance says gas work in workplaces such as shops, restaurants, schools and hospitals must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is qualified for the work.
What details do you need before booking?
Send the property address, premises type, gas appliance list, fuel type, access contact, who needs the certificate and any landlord, tenant, insurer or agent deadline.
Can one visit cover boilers and catering appliances?
Possibly, but the correct route depends on the appliance types and engineer qualifications needed. Send the full equipment list before booking so the visit can be scoped correctly.
What record will I receive if defects are found?
The record should show the inspection findings, including defects and any limits on what could be checked. For a completed landlord gas safety check, HSE says the record should not be held back until repairs are done. Unsafe equipment may need to remain out of use, with repairs and any further inspection arranged separately.
