As a landlord, ensuring your rental property's gas appliances are safe is both a legal requirement and a crucial responsibility. At Careys Plumbing Services Ltd, we provide comprehensive landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) throughout Warwickshire, helping landlords meet their legal obligations whilst keeping tenants safe.
With over 20 years of experience and Gas Safe registered engineers, our family-run business delivers thorough, professional gas safety inspections with prompt certificate issue. We understand the importance of compliance and work efficiently to minimise disruption to your tenants.
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, all landlords must have gas appliances, fittings, and flues checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This applies to all rental properties with gas appliances, including houses, flats, and HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation).
The law requires you to:
Failure to comply with these regulations can result in heavy fines, imprisonment, or both. More importantly, it puts your tenants' safety at serious risk.
When you book a landlord gas safety certificate with Careys Plumbing Services Ltd, our Gas Safe registered engineers conduct a comprehensive inspection:
All Gas Appliances – We check every gas appliance in the property, including boilers, cookers, fires, and water heaters, examining them for safe operation and proper installation.
Ventilation – We ensure adequate ventilation for all gas appliances, checking that air vents are unobstructed and meet current regulations.
Flues and Chimneys – All flues are inspected for blockages, damage, or improper installation that could lead to dangerous gas escape.
Gas Pipework – We examine gas supply pipes for leaks, damage, or corrosion that could compromise safety.
Safety Devices – All safety devices, including flame failure devices and thermostats, are tested to ensure they function correctly.
Gas Pressure – We check gas pressure and flow rates to confirm appliances receive the correct supply.
Carbon Monoxide Testing – We conduct carbon monoxide tests to ensure appliances aren't producing dangerous gases.
We understand that as a landlord, you need your gas safety certificates issued promptly. After completing the inspection, we provide your CP12 certificate immediately, allowing you to fulfil your legal obligations without delay. We can email certificates directly to you, making record-keeping straightforward.
