What Is a Gas Safety Certificate?
A gas safety certificate, also called a CP12 or Landlord Gas Safety Record (LGSR), confirms that all gas appliances, flues and pipework in your property have been inspected and are safe to use.
Under UK law (the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998), every landlord must ensure that:
- A Gas Safe registered engineer inspects all gas appliances and flues once every 12 months.
- A record of inspection (the certificate) is kept for at least two years.
- A copy of the certificate is given to tenants within 28 days of the check.
Even if you’re a homeowner, regular gas safety checks are highly recommended. They help prevent dangerous leaks, improve efficiency and extend the life of your boiler.
What We Check During a Gas Safety Inspection
Our qualified engineers carry out a thorough and detailed inspection of your gas system, including:
- Gas tightness test – ensuring there are no leaks in the pipework.
- Appliance safety checks – boilers, cookers, gas fires and water heaters.
- Flue examination – confirming flues are correctly installed and venting safely.
- Ventilation assessment – ensuring there’s sufficient airflow for safe combustion.
- Burner and pressure testing – making sure your appliances burn gas cleanly.
- Safety devices – verifying all flame failure and thermostat controls function correctly.
Once complete, you’ll receive a digital Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) by email the same day, with clear details of each appliance, results, any advisories and the next due date.
