What is a Gas Safety Certificate?

A Gas Safety Certificate (sometimes called a CP12 or Landlord Gas Safety Record) is an official document that proves all gas appliances in a property have been checked by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. These yearly checks are needed by law for rental properties and are a smart choice for homeowners too.
The certificate shows that your gas appliances, pipework, and flues are working safely. Getting regular checks helps stop gas leaks, carbon monoxide dangers, and other serious risks.

Carbon Monoxide Safety

One big reason for yearly gas checks is spotting carbon monoxide risks. This gas can’t be seen, tasted or smelled, but is very deadly. Signs of carbon monoxide from faulty gas items can include:
  • Yellow or orange flames (not blue)
  • Sooty marks around appliances
  • More water drops on windows
  • Yellow/brown stains near gas items
Our Gas Safety checks help stop this hidden danger by making sure your gas items burn fuel the right way.
