Gas Safety Certificates:
Ensuring The Safety Of Your Property

At Trusted Boilers, we provide affordably priced gas safety inspections and certificates to domestic landlords and homeowners across South London.

What is a gas safety certificate?

A Gas Safety Certificate, also known as a CP12 Certificate or a Landlord Gas Safety Record, is an important legal document that verifies the safety of all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in your rental properties.

Having an annual gas safety check and certification is a vital safety measure for protecting properties and occupants against the risk of gas leaks – which include fires and explosions, respiratory and other health problems, carbon monoxide poisoning, and damage to property.

Why you need a gas safety certificate

There are various benefits of obtaining a Gas Safety Certificate.

  • tick Firstly, your gas safety check and certificate proves that all appliances and gas systems on the property are safe, preventing potential gas leaks and keeping your tenants and their families safe
  • tickSecondly, for landlords, an annual gas safety certificate is an essential legal requirement. Landlords face fines of up to £6000 for not having a valid gas safety certificate, and each breach of the regulations can incur separate fines. In severe cases in which negligence leads to injury or death, landlords can even be imprisoned for up to 6 months. Without a valid gas safety certificate, your insurance policy may also be invalidated, leaving you financially vulnerable in the event of a gas -related incident.

  • tickFinally, gas safety checks help to maintain the efficiency of your gas appliances, giving you early warning of maintenance issues and helping you to plan your servicing and replacement schedule. This minimises the risk of unexpected expenses should one of your tenants’ appliances break down.

Frequently asked questions

I am a homeowner, not a landlord. Do I also need a gas safety certificate?

Homeowners also benefit from gas safety checks to ensure ongoing safety and efficiency. Although you don’t legally need a gas safety certificate, we recommend getting in touch with an experienced gas safe engineer if you’ve inherited any gas appliances or a boiler on moving into a new home, before putting your home on the market, and if you have any concerns about older appliances (e.g. out of warranty boilers 10+ years old). You should also have a full inspection if your carbon monoxide alarm has gone off unexpectedly.

Having a gas safety certificate may also help you successfully make a claim on your home insurance should an incident occur. Please check with your insurer for details.

How much does a gas safety certificate cost?

Gas safety inspections and certificates from Trusted Boilers cost £80 plus VAT. This fee includes a check of your property’s gas meter and the associated pipework, and a further two gas appliances – such as a gas hob and gas boiler. Additional appliances can be added for just £30 + VAT each.

How often do you need a gas safety certificate?

Domestic landlords are required by law to obtain a gas safety certificate for their rental properties every year. The annual gas safety check ensures that all gas appliances, fittings, and flues provided for your tenants are safe and in sound working order.

You should keep a record of each safety check and provide a copy of your gas safety certificate to your tenants.

Came out to fix a problem on the day we asked if they were available, and actually explained and solved the problem required, for a reasonable price. Breath of fresh air after an awful experience with a previous company who clearly couldn’t care less and quoted stupidly inflated prices. So so happy with Eric’s work, thank you.
