Gas Safety Check for Landlords

What the landlord gas safety check covers

The check is designed to confirm gas appliances and associated pipework are operating safely and meet current safety requirements. You will receive clear findings and a compliant record for your files.

• Inspection and testing of gas appliances covered by the check (for example boilers, gas hobs, fires).
• Tightness testing to confirm the installation is gas-tight.
• Checks of flues, ventilation and safe combustion.
• Verification of key safety devices and correct operation.
• Assessment of installation pipework condition and accessibility.
• Classification of any faults, with risks explained plainly.
• Issue of the Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) when requirements are met.

Who this service is for

This service suits landlords and letting agents who need:

• Annual certification for single lets or HMOs.
• A documented check before a new tenancy starts.
• A reliable process for managing compliance across multiple properties.
• Clear advice where an appliance is old, unreliable, or has a safety concern.

How the check is carried out

You book a suitable appointment, then a Gas Safe registered engineer attends and completes the required tests on each in-scope appliance. You will be told what is being checked and why, with any issues explained in straightforward terms. Where access is restricted, you will be advised what is needed to complete the check properly.

After the visit

You receive your Landlord Gas Safety Record to share with tenants and keep on file. If any remedial work is required, you will get a clear summary of what needs doing and what can and cannot be left in service. If you manage multiple properties, you can also request a simple schedule to help keep renewals on track.
