What is a Gas Safety Certificate?
Gas Safety Certificates or CP12s prove that a qualified engineer has checked a property's gas appliances and flues and verified that they are safe to use.
The certificate outlines the checks carried out on the appliance and any required maintenance or repair work.
Landlords must have a valid certificate for each appliance and flue they own and must be renewed annually. Tenants are legally entitled to receive a copy of the certificate at the start of their tenancy or within 28 days after the inspection.
Failure to comply with the Gas Safety Regulations can result in a fine of up to £5,000.
When Do I Need to Get a Gas Safety Certificate?
You need to get a Gas Safety Certificate whenever a new gas appliance is installed or if an existing one is serviced or repaired. This includes gas boilers, cookers, and other gas-powered appliances or fittings.
What Happens During Inspection?
During the evaluation, the engineer will need access to all gas equipment, fittings, and flues. They will also look at critical data on any installation or repair of gas appliances.
The engineer will check each appliance to verify its safety and functionality. They'll also inspect flues and chimneys for obstruction and damage prevention.
After the inspection, you will be given a copy of the certificate detailing the engineer's findings and any required repairs and replacements. Assessments should only be performed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Otherwise, the certificate will be rendered invalid.
Why is it Important to Have a Gas Safety Certificate?
Faulty gas appliances can lead to fires, explosions, carbon monoxide poisoning, and other serious accidents.
A Gas Safety Certificate identifies any potential problems with your gas supply before they cause harm to tenants or result in hefty fines for non-compliance.
When filing for claims, a Gas Safety Certificate demonstrates that adequate maintenance was conducted, and you are entitled to a payout.
How Much Does a Gas Safety Certificate Cost?
The average cost of a Gas Safety Certificate in the UK ranges between £60-90. The final fee may vary depending on the size and number of appliances being checked.
