What is a Gas Safety Certificate?
A Gas Safety Certificate, also commonly referred to as a CP12 certificate or gas safety check, is a document issued by qualified engineers to confirm that all gas appliances and installations on your property are safe and in compliance with relevant safety regulations.
It outlines the engineer’s findings and whether or not the appliances met required safety standards.
Inspections must be done yearly, and a copy of the certificate should be given to the tenants at the start of the tenancy.
Additionally, the landlord must keep a copy of the safety check record for two years, give each tenant a copy within 28 days of inspection, and provide a copy to any new tenants before moving in.
What to Expect During a Gas Safety Check
The engineer may also perform a series of tests to ensure that all appliances are functioning correctly. They may recommend any repairs or upgrades needed to help keep your property safe.
At the end of the check, you will receive a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate, confirming that your property is up to code and compliant with local regulations.
Below are the appliances and outlets that are subjected to inspection:
What Properties Need to Be Inspected?
A gas safety certificate is required for all properties owned or leased by a landlord. This includes:
It is important to note that all inspections must be carried out by qualified engineers registered with Gas Safe, and you should always request to see their Gas Safe ID before allowing them to begin any work.
How Often Should I Get a Gas Safety Check?
Gas safety checks should be done on your property at least once every 12 months. However, if you have a new appliance installed or any gas system repairs done in the last 28 days, you’ll need another gas safety inspection within two months of the job being completed.
If any repairs or upgrades are needed, it is best to have them done as soon as possible to avoid any potential hazards or safety risks.
How Are Gas Safety Checks Performed?
There are two ways to get a gas safety check in Manchester. You can contact a qualified engineer registered with Gas Safe and request an inspection.
Or, you can reach out to your local authority or housing association, and they will organise for an inspector to come out to the property. They will perform the inspection, issue the certificate, and provide you with any recommendations or repairs that may be needed.
When scheduling an inspection, make sure the specialist is a Gas Safe registrant. These are the only people who have been authorised by law to provide you with the relevant certifications. Any certificate granted by an unlicensed technician is invalid.
How Much Are Gas Safety Checks?
The cost of a gas safety check in Manchester will depend on the size and type of property being inspected and the number of appliances that need to be checked. However, most inspections will cost between £60 and £120.
If any repairs or upgrades are needed, you may have to pay an additional fee.
