Gas safety certificate arranged for your rental property - Gas Safe registered engineer coordinated, legal requirement sorted, annual compliance covered.
Stay Legal and Keep Tenants Safe
No gas safety certificate? You can't legally let your property. And if something goes wrong, you're personally liable.
Since 1998, annual gas safety checks by a Gas Safe registered engineer have been mandatory for all rental properties with gas appliances.
💡 Pro tip: Gas safety certificates must be renewed annually. Set a reminder 11 months after each inspection - gives you buffer to coordinate the check before it expires.
The Legal Requirement
| ✅ Compliant | ❌ Non-Compliant |
|---|---|
| Annual gas safety check by Gas Safe engineer | No inspection or expired certificate |
| Certificate provided to tenant within 28 days | No documentation given |
| Records kept for 2 years | Lost certificates |
| Any faults repaired promptly | Unsafe appliances left |
The difference? Legal operation versus potential prosecution and huge liability.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to arrange your own gas safety check? Here's what to know:
🔧 Finding a Gas Safe engineer
- MUST be Gas Safe registered (check their card, look up their number)
- Ask for landlord gas safety certificate experience specifically
- Get fixed quote upfront
- Check they can do it before your current cert expires
📋 Before the inspection
- Ensure access to all gas appliances (boiler cupboard, kitchen, etc.)
- Check tenant can be there or arrange access
- Note any issues you've noticed (smell of gas, appliance not working right)
- Have details of last service handy
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Using non-Gas Safe engineer (invalid certificate, illegal)
- Leaving it until last minute (certificate expires, can't let)
- Not following up on identified issues (illegal to let)
- Not giving certificate copy to tenant (legal requirement)
💡 Pro trick: Schedule your annual gas safety check at the same time as boiler service (often same engineer can do both). Saves separate callout fee and keeps your annual costs predictable.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Full compliance package? I can coordinate gas safety certificate, EICR, EPC, and other rental requirements together. One conversation sorts everything - much easier than dealing with multiple contractors.
When to book: About a month before your current certificate expires. Gives time to schedule and sort any repairs if needed.
Tenant access: Engineer needs access to all gas appliances. If property's occupied, either tenant can be there or you arrange access. Empty properties are easier.
Multiple properties? I can schedule gas safety checks across your whole portfolio with the same engineer. Keeps your compliance simple and usually gets better pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a gas safety certificate and do I need one?
Gas safety certificate (also called CP12 or landlord gas safety record) is a legal requirement for all rental properties with gas appliances. Must be done annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Without one, you can't legally let the property and your insurance is likely invalid.
How much does a gas safety certificate cost?
Typically £60-100 for the inspection depending on how many appliances. Small flat with just a boiler might be £60-70, house with boiler, gas hob, and gas fire more like £80-100. I'll get you quotes from Gas Safe engineers I work with and coordinate everything.
How long does the gas safety check take?
Usually 30-60 minutes. The engineer tests each gas appliance, checks for leaks, tests ventilation, checks flues. They'll issue the certificate on the spot if everything passes. If they find issues, they'll quote for any repairs needed.
What if the gas safety check finds problems?
If the engineer finds unsafe issues, they might isolate the appliance immediately (legally required). They'll quote for repairs, which you'll need to get done before the property's legal to let. I'll coordinate getting the work done and the re-check.
Can you arrange this for multiple properties?
Yes - if you've got a portfolio, I can coordinate annual gas safety checks across all your properties. Same engineer, scheduled efficiently, one invoice to manage. Makes your compliance admin much simpler.
