Understanding the Landlord's Responsibility: Gas Safety Explained
The law states that landlords must have all gas appliances and flues checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. A valid Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) must be issued and a copy provided to your tenants within 28 days of the inspection, or to new tenants before they move in. Keep a copy of the CP12 for your records for two years. Failing to comply can lead to hefty fines and invalidate your insurance. Let Preferred Gas take the worry out of gas safety compliance.

What Does a Gas Safety Inspection Involve? A Comprehensive Check
During a gas safety inspection, a Preferred Gas engineer will meticulously check several key areas:
- Gas Appliances: Inspection of boilers, gas fires, cookers, and other gas appliances for correct operation, gas leaks, and carbon monoxide emissions.
- Flues: Checking flues for blockages and ensuring they are properly installed and venting fumes safely.
- Ventilation: Assessing ventilation to ensure appliances are receiving adequate air supply for safe combustion.
- Gas Pipework: A visual inspection of gas pipework for any signs of damage or leaks.
Renewing Your Gas Safety Certificate: Don't Wait Until the Last Minute
Your Landlord Gas Safety Certificate is valid for 12 months. To maintain compliance and avoid any gaps in coverage, it's wise to book your renewal inspection with Preferred Gas well in advance of the expiry date. We can schedule a reminder to ensure you never miss a deadline. Our goal is to make gas safety management hassle-free for landlords in Bishop Auckland.
More Than Just a Certificate: Addressing Potential Gas Safety Issues
