How Often Do You Need a Gas Certificate?

By law, landlords must renew their Gas Safety Certificate every 12 months. We recommend scheduling it a few weeks before the expiry date to allow time for any repairs or servicing if needed.

Homeowners should also consider an annual boiler service — it’s the best way to ensure your gas system remains efficient, safe, and within manufacturer warranty terms.

Safety and Peace of Mind

A faulty gas appliance can produce carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless gas that can be deadly. Regular checks by qualified professionals protect you, your tenants and your property.

We also supply and fit carbon monoxide alarms during your visit if required — a simple, affordable way to enhance safety in your home or rental.

FAQs

If you are a landlord letting a property in the Grays or Thurrock area and you provide any gas appliances (boiler, cooker, gas fire, etc.), you must arrange an annual gas safety inspection by a qualified engineer and obtain a valid certificate.
Homeowners who live in the property themselves are not legally required to obtain this certificate — but a service check is still strongly advised.

The certificate (or technically the safety check) must be done every 12 months. You can have the check up to two months before the anniversary of the last one and still keep the original renewal date.
For a tenancy start in the Grays area, ensure the certificate was issued no more than 12 months ago.

No. Only an engineer who is registered with the Gas Safe Register (for the UK) may legally inspect and issue a certificate (or record) for gas appliances. Check their ID card when they arrive at your Grays property.

If the engineer finds an appliance is Immediately Dangerous, they must have it turned off (capped) straight away. For appliances marked At Risk, you’ll receive advice and must act promptly. You cannot ignore these findings if you let the property out in Grays or Thurrock — it’s a legal duty.

For homeowners selling a property in Grays, there’s no legal requirement to hold a landlord-style gas safety certificate unless you’re renting it out. However, having a recent certificate or service report is beneficial: it reassures buyers and can make the transaction smoother.

Yes — a reputable local engineer in Grays will issue the certificate (or digital record) promptly after the check is completed. You should ask for a PDF version you can save and share with tenants, letting agents or your records.

Our service covers Grays (RM17/RM16) and the wider Thurrock district including Chafford Hundred, Little Thurrock, Tilbury/East Tilbury, Orsett, Aveley, Purfleet-on-Thames, South Ockendon and Stanford-le-Hope. We offer local engineers who understand the area and can arrange convenient times for visits.

Landlords must take all reasonable steps to gain access for the gas safety inspection. That includes giving notice, writing to the tenant, keeping records of attempts and using clauses in the tenancy agreement. If access continues to be denied, the matter may require legal intervention.

The checks will include each gas appliance provided by the landlord (boiler, cooker, fire), the flue/ventilation, and the pipework. The aim is to confirm safety of installation, correct operation, safe exhaust gases and no risk of carbon monoxide leak. The engineer will issue a record listing each appliance and the outcome.

You must keep the certificate or record for at least two years and you must give a copy to your current tenant within 28 days of the check. For any new tenant, you must provide the current valid certificate before they move in. 
Ensure it’s stored safely (digital or paper) and that you set a reminder for renewal in the Grays area.
