Landlord Safety Certificates

In 1996 the government made law that all landlords who rent part, or all of a property, must have all gas appliances and pipe work checked and a certificate to prove it every 12 months.

If you are a landlord with your gas appliances unchecked, call today for your Landlords Gas Safety Certificate (CP 12).

What does a Landlord Gas Safety Inspection include?

I will check the following during a Landlord gas safety inspection:

• Check appliance for gas tightness.

• Check standing and working pressure if test points available.

• Check burner pressure / gas rate against manufacturers data plate.

• Check for satisfactory provision of all necessary ventilation.

• Test flue flow to ensure removal of products of combustion.

• Check satisfactory operation of all the flame failure devices.

• Check for physical stability, presence and effectiveness of stability brackets (where appropriate).

• Investigate any evidence of unsafe operation and report to a responsible person. An appliance can not be deemed as having been checked, until the above has been completed.

• For a Landlords Safety Record inspection a tightness test of the full system should be added to the above.
