What the record is
If you let a home with gas in it, you need an annual gas safety check on every appliance and flue you provide, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The engineer writes up the landlord gas safety record, which most people call a CP12.
The record lists each appliance and flue checked, the engineer's name, registration number and signature, the date, the property address, your name and address as the landlord, and any defect found with the action taken.
Our engineers carry out the check and the certificate is usually issued the same day, so you are not waiting on paperwork to arrive.
Our Gas Safe registration is 525389. Check the number yourself on the Gas Safe Register.
What the law requires
- A gas safety check every 12 months on every appliance and flue you provide.
- A copy of the record to existing tenants within 28 days of the check.
- A copy to new tenants before they move in.
- Records kept for at least two years.
- The check may be done in the two months before the due date and keep the original date, so booking early does not shorten the year.
Since October 2022 landlords in England must also fit a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed gas appliance such as a boiler; check the current guidance, as the alarm rules sit outside the gas safety record itself.
What is checked
Every gas appliance and flue you own and provide for your tenants' use, whether fitted or portable.
A safety check and a service are not the same thing. The check confirms the appliances are safe to use. A service also cleans and tests the boiler so it keeps running, and landlords have a separate duty to keep appliances maintained.
Many landlords book both in one visit. An annual boiler service comes with a written report, and boiler servicing explains what it includes.
Several properties?
Ring the office with the addresses and the dates the current records run out, and the office books them in. Office staff answer the phone, and you deal with the same office for every property.
If a check finds a fault, the engineer tells you what it is and the price for the repair goes in writing before any work starts. The price quoted is the price paid, and boiler repairs covers the detail.
Questions landlords ask
What is a landlord gas safety record?
It is the record a Gas Safe registered engineer issues after the annual safety check on a rented home, often called a CP12. It lists each appliance and flue checked, the engineer's details, the date, the address and any defect found with the action taken.
How often does a landlord need a gas safety check?
Every 12 months, on every gas appliance and flue the landlord provides. The check can be done in the two months before the due date and keep the original date, so there is no need to let it slip.
When do I have to give tenants the record?
Existing tenants must have a copy within 28 days of the check. New tenants must have it before they move in, and you keep each record for at least two years.
What is checked on a landlord gas safety check?
Every gas appliance and flue the landlord owns and provides for the tenants' use, whether fitted or portable.
Is the gas safety check the same as a boiler service?
No. The check confirms the appliances are safe to use; a service also cleans and tests the boiler so it keeps running. Landlords also have a duty to keep appliances maintained, so it makes sense to book both.
Do I need carbon monoxide alarms in a rented home?
Since October 2022 landlords in England must fit a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed gas appliance such as a boiler; check the current guidance. Gas cookers are not included in that rule.
When will I get the certificate?
Landlord gas safety certificates are usually issued the same day. The engineer completes the record at the property and you have it to pass to your tenants.
