What Is a Gas Safety Certificate?

A Gas Safety Certificate, sometimes called a CP12, is an official record confirming that all gas appliances in your property have been inspected and meet the required safety standards.

After a qualified Gas Safe-registered engineer completes a full check of your gas appliances, flues, and pipework, you’ll receive your certificate — which serves as proof that your property is safe to use and legally compliant.

Your certificate will clearly show:

  • The name and registration number of your Gas Safe engineer.
  • The property address inspected in Braintree.
  • Details of all gas appliances checked, such as boilers, cookers, and fires.
  • Any faults, safety issues, or recommended repairs.
  • The date of inspection and the date the next one is due (normally 12 months later).

For landlords, this certificate is a legal requirement. For homeowners, it’s a smart investment for your safety and peace of mind.

Why Do You Need a Gas Safety Certificate in Braintree?

For Landlords

If you rent out your property in Braintree, you are legally required under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 to have all gas appliances and flues inspected once every 12 months.
You must provide a valid gas safety certificate to your tenants within 28 days of the inspection and keep records for at least two years.

Failing to do so can lead to hefty fines, invalidated insurance, or even legal action — so it’s not worth the risk!
Our engineers specialise in landlord gas safety certificates in Braintree, handling everything efficiently — from arranging access with tenants to issuing the official CP12 documentation for your records.

For Homeowners

Even if you’re not legally required to have one, a gas safety check gives you reassurance that your boiler, cooker, and gas appliances are safe and working efficiently.
It’s particularly important if you’ve recently moved into a new home or haven’t had your gas system checked for over a year.
A certificate also helps maintain your home insurance validity and can even increase your property’s value when selling.

FAQs

A gas safety certificate (often called a CP12 for rented properties) is the formal record that a qualified, registered gas engineer has inspected all gas appliances, pipework and flues in your property and found them to be safe for use. Landlords of properties in and around Braintree must have one every 12 months for each gas-appliance installation they supply. Homeowners may wish to obtain one for peace of mind, though it is not always a legal requirement.

For let properties in Braintree (and across England), once you’ve carried out the inspection by a Gas Safe registered engineer and obtained the certificate, you must give a copy of that certificate to your tenant within 28 days of the check being completed. Likewise, if a new tenancy begins, you must give the tenant the up-to-date certificate before or on the day they move in.

The certificate covers a snapshot of safety at the time of inspection and relates to the legal requirement of an annual check. You can book the inspection up to 2 months before the anniversary of the previous check and still retain the original renewal date (i.e., you’re not penalised for booking early).

Yes — if you as landlord supply a gas appliance or flue you are legally required to have it inspected annually. If a tenant brings or installs their own appliance, while you may not be directly responsible for the appliance itself, you remain responsible for the related installation or pipework you provide.

If the inspection reveals an appliance or flue is unsafe, the engineer may mark it as “not safe to use” and disconnect it or attach a warning label. The certificate still records the condition and what needs to be done; however, until the required repairs are carried out your property may not comply fully with safety duties. You should act promptly to restore safety.

If you live in the property you own (and do not let it), you are not legally required to hold a certificate annually in the same way a landlord is. That said, it’s highly advisable to have a safety check for your own peace of mind and to uphold good safety standards, especially if you have older gas appliances or newly installed ones.

While tenants must allow the inspection (as part of the letting agreement), if they refuse access you as landlord should record all reasonable attempts (written notices, calls etc.). You must still demonstrate you tried to meet your legal duty. Continued refusal can lead to formal action.

You must retain every gas safety record for at least two years. This helps demonstrate compliance, especially if local authorities request evidence.

Failing to secure the correct certificate puts you at risk of legal and financial consequences: large fines, even prosecution; invalidated insurance; difficulty in serving certain notices to tenants. Plus, the bigger risk — un-checked gas appliances pose serious safety hazards to occupiers.

Look for a Gas Safe registered engineer (check their registration ID), local to the Braintree/Essex area so they know the local housing types and can attend promptly; ensure the quotation is clear (how many appliances, what’s included); check their reviews and reputation; verify they issue the official certificate once the inspection is done.
