Landlord Gas Safety Certificates

Why do I need a gas safety certificate?

The Government passed a law in 1996 requiring any landlords who rent out part or all of a property, must have all gas appliances and pipework in the property checked and a gas safety certificate as proof of compliance. The gas safety certificate needs to be renewed every 12 months.

What are the Landlord's responsibilities specifically?

•Landlords have a legal requirement to have all gas fittings and flues serviced annually by a Corgi & Gas Safe registered gas engineer or Gas Safe registered plumber (Gas Safety Regulations 1998).

•Landlord's must ensure an annual safety check is carried out annually on each gas fitting and flue.

•Landlords must keep a copy of their certificate for a minimum of 2 years.
