Gas Safety inspection can only be carried out by qualified and registered Gas Safe engineers.

Gas inspections uncover vital details about the safety of gas appliances. They also note any defects found during the process. The official name for gas certificates is the ‘Landlord Gas Safety Record’ and you might also hear it called a ‘CP12’ form.

Gas inspections mean you can rest assured that gas appliances like boilers, gas fires, ovens and hobs – plus their associated ventilation systems – are working safely.

Gas inspections deliver confirmation, via trustworthy engineers, that your gas appliances are working safely. The resulting Gas Safety Certificates even highlight when the next service is due on an appliance, which helps you stay safe.

Energy efficiency is very important. But the main focus of Gas Safety inspection is safety. Landlords, whether commercial or domestic, will always be asked for landlords gas safety certificates. In fact letting agencies refuse to let properties without them. Wise property buyers make Gas inspections an integral part of the buying process. They represent the only real way to assure yourself and your lenders that the property is gas-safe.

Without Gas inspections you pit yourself and everyone else in your property at risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. While it can’t be seen, smelled or tasted, 14 UK residents die every year from CO poisoning. Many more suffer CO-related disabilities. The main causes are badly fitted, repaired and maintained gas appliances.
