Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate All landlords must ensure that their properties are equipped with an active Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in place. This certification shows that an engineer has checked the safety of all gas appliances and flues inside the property. All Gas Safe engineers carry a identity card with a photo that you must ask to see prior to any work that is completed at your property. The card confirms the engineer's registration on the Gas Safe Register. Safety Certificates A gas safety certificate, also referred to as a CP12 is a legal document that guarantees the safety of your gas appliances and flues. Gas safe registered engineers must issue the certificate. It is a legal requirement for landlords, hotel owners and B&B owners. It is also recommended that homeowners get an annual gas safety inspection every year by a qualified tradesperson to prevent accidents that could be dangerous. The CP12 is used to confirm that a trained and competent engineer has assessed all the gas appliances and equipment on your home. They will examine critical data to determine if the system is operating correctly and in accordance with the necessary safety protocols. Gas safety certificate milton keynes will also inspect chimneys and flues to make sure they are safe. The engineer will correct the issue and write it down on the CP12. The engineer will then issue an updated version to confirm the security of all gas equipment. Gas Safety (Installation and Utilization) Regulations from 1998 stipulate that landlords must conduct annual inspections of their gas appliances that are not used for domestic use and flues. Failure to do so could result in substantial penalties or fines. During the inspection the engineer will test every appliance in the house along with their connections and flues. They will then assess the condition of the pipework and any other gas-related appliances, like the boiler. They will also write down their findings on the CP12 which must be handed out to tenants within 28 days from the date of the inspection. Boats and vehicles for leisure accommodation that are used for recreational purposes such as lodges and caravans, should be regularly checked by a gas safe registered engineer to ensure that they are in good functioning order. The engineer will inspect every gas appliance and equipment in the boat or vehicle, and also the connection points and flues. They will then provide the owner with an “Landlord Gas Safety Record for Leisure Accommodation” or CP2.

Carbon Monoxide Leaks Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a hazardous gas that can be leaked from faulty gas appliances. It is colourless, odourless and tasteless and can cause poisoning to people who breathe it. It can affect the brain and blood. The most effective method of detecting the presence of a CO leak is to use an audible alarm or carbon monoxide detector. Gas Safe registered engineers can also check your gas appliances and flues on a regular basis. A carbon monoxide leak was reported at an elementary school in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. At about 13:00 BST emergency services were called to Martins Wood primary school in Mildmay road. The scene was attended by police, firefighters and East of England Ambulance Service. South Central Ambulance Service treated an injured woman on the scene for suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. If you suspect that you might have CO leak and you suspect that you may have a CO leak, it is essential to get fresh air and to turn off all gas appliances immediately. You should also call your gas provider and ask them to isolate the gas supply at the meters. Also, you should open all doors and windows so that the air can breathe.

If you're a landlord, you are required to have all of your properties inspected for Gas Safety annually. A Gas Safe registered engineer can assist in this process and issue Landlord Gas Safety Certificates. This ensures that your tenants are living in a safe and secure environment.
