Gas Safety Check for Landlords
A landlord gas safety check gives you the evidence you need that gas appliances and installation pipework in a rental property are safe to use. The visit includes regulated testing, clear written results, and a Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) for your compliance and tenant peace of mind.

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.
