Do Landlords Need A Gas Safety Check Every Year?

Do Landlords Need A Gas Safety Check Every Year?

Yes. Landlords are required to arrange an annual gas safety check for relevant gas appliances and flues provided as part of a tenancy. The check must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Following a satisfactory inspection, you'll receive a gas safety record, commonly referred to as a CP12 or Landlord Gas Safety Certificate.

Keeping on top of the annual deadline is important. Leaving an inspection until the last minute can create unnecessary problems, particularly when a property is being prepared for occupation or several compliance renewals fall around the same time.

What Happens During A Gas Safety Check?

What Happens During A Gas Safety Check?

A gas safety check focuses on whether relevant gas appliances and associated systems are operating safely.

Depending on the installation, the engineer may check:

  • Gas appliances provided by the landlord

  • Flues and chimneys

  • Gas pressure and appliance operation

  • Ventilation requirements

  • Safety devices

  • Evidence of unsafe combustion or gas leaks

If an issue is identified, the engineer can explain what action is required.

It's important to distinguish the annual safety check from servicing. A gas safety inspection confirms whether relevant appliances meet safety requirements at the time of inspection, whereas servicing involves maintenance of an appliance.

What Is A Landlord Gas Safety Certificate?

What Is A Landlord Gas Safety Certificate?

Once the required checks have been completed, landlords receive a record detailing the inspection.

Your Landlord Gas Safety Certificate in Merton provides an important record of when the check was undertaken, which appliances or flues were inspected and the outcome of the inspection.

Landlords should retain their gas safety records and provide tenants with the relevant record within the required timeframe.

For portfolio landlords, having a consistent system for certificates is particularly valuable. Different properties may have different renewal dates, making it easy for deadlines to become fragmented across the year.

When Should You Arrange Your Next Gas Safety Check?

When Should You Arrange Your Next Gas Safety Check?

You don't need to wait until the final day of an existing certificate before arranging another inspection.

Planning renewals can make appointments easier to coordinate and reduce the risk of a certificate inadvertently expiring.

It's also worth reviewing your wider compliance requirements at the same time. If several inspections are approaching renewal, combining appointments can make property management considerably more efficient.

For example, landlords preparing a property for marketing may also need an EPC Certificate Merton alongside their gas safety documentation.
