The Importance Of A Gas Safety Check

Here at NEHC, we specialise in gas safety checks North East. A gas safety certificate, also known as a CP12, is a legal requirement for landlords in the UK renting out properties with gas appliances. The gas safety certificate confirms that a registered engineer has inspected the gas appliances, pipework and flues within the property, and confirmed that they are safe for use. This is crucial to ensure the safety of the tenants as well as fulfil legal obligations that landlords have. A gas safety check is crucial for ensuring the safety of your property by identifying potential hazards such as gas leaks and faulty appliances, which can lead to serious health risks. Our gas safety checks also help to maintain the efficiency of your gas appliances, as well as ensuring you are compliant.

Landlords in the UK must obtain a CP12 certificate annually for each property, and landlords must also keep a record of the safety checks for at least two years and provide tenants with a copy within 28 days of the check or before they move in.

What’s Involved In A Gas Safety Check

Our gas safety checks North East consist of a visual inspection of gas appliances, the gas heating system, and the boiler flue system, as well as a tightness test at the gas meter to check for any leaks, ensuring ventilation and safety devices are working correctly. Upon completing your gas safety check, we will provide you with a gas safety certificate, detailing the inspection, mentioning any issues found, and recommendations for any necessary repairs. Our gas safety checks North East typically take around 30 minutes to an hour, however, the exact duration can vary depending on the size of the property and the number of gas appliances that need to be inspected. If any repairs are required, the check may take longer.
