Birmingham Gas Safety Certificates
If you're renting a property, you must have a Landlords Gas Safety Certificate or CP12 to comply with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. A Gas Safety Certificate in Birmingham is a requirement when you're letting a property. An inspection must be carried out on every gas appliance and installation at a property every 12 months.
Landlords must provide their tenants with a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate, and keeping a copy for your records is advisable. As a landlord, you're responsible for the safety of your tenants, and gas safety is an important part of that.
If you're a tenant and you're not given a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate, you should ask for one. You should contact the Gas Safe Register if your landlord didn't provide one. Gas safety is important for your safety, and you have a right to know that your property is safe.

What to Expect During a Gas Safety Inspection
A Gas Safety inspection usually takes around an hour. The gas safety engineer will need to check:
The engineer will also need to check the property's proper ventilation. Property owners also need to provide access to the appliance flue, if there is one. Previous records of appliance servicing should also be made available just in case the engineer needs to reference them.
After the inspection, the engineer will provide you with a Gas Safety Certificate if everything is in working order. If any appliance is unsafe, the engineer will disconnect it and provide you with a warning notice. The appliance will need to be repaired or replaced before it can be used again.
