Gas Safety Certificates in Durham: Prioritising Your Safety
When it comes to gas appliances in your Durham home, safety isn't just important; it's paramount. A Gas Safety Certificate, often called a CP12, is your peace of mind. It confirms that your gas appliances – from your boiler to your gas fire – have been thoroughly checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer and are operating safely. Whether you're a homeowner or a landlord, understanding gas safety and securing the right certification is essential. We at Preferred Gas have engineers operating across Durham and the wider DH postcode area, including Chester-le-Street, Consett, and Stanley.
Why Durham Landlords Need a CP12: It's the Law!
If you're a landlord in Durham renting out a property with gas appliances, a Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) is a legal requirement. You are required to have all gas appliances and gas flues checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and you must provide your tenants with a copy of the certificate within 28 days of the check, or before they move in. Failing to comply can lead to hefty fines and, more importantly, puts your tenants at risk. Preferred Gas helps landlords in Durham stay compliant and protect their tenants.

- Checking flue flow to ensure removal of combustion products.

Carbon Monoxide: The Silent Threat in Your Home
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless gas that can be deadly. It's produced when fuel-burning appliances, such as boilers, gas fires, and water heaters, don't burn fuel completely. A faulty or poorly maintained appliance can release CO into your home, putting you and your family at risk. Our Gas Safe engineers are trained to identify potential CO risks during a Gas Safety inspection and can advise on the installation of CO alarms.
