Landlord Gas Safety Checks (CP12)
Landlords in the UK are legally required to conduct annual gas safety checks on their rental properties to ensure that all gas appliances, boilers, and flues are safe for tenants. At ELC Boilers, we provide comprehensive Landlord Gas Safety Checks and issue Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) to help landlords stay compliant with UK regulations.
Why Are Gas Safety Checks Important for Landlords?
- Legal Compliance: According to the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must ensure that gas appliances, pipework, and flues in their properties are safe. Failure to comply can result in legal penalties, fines, and voided insurance.
- Safety of Tenants: Regular gas safety checks help protect tenants from potential hazards such as gas leaks and carbon monoxide poisoning, which can occur if appliances are not properly maintained.
- Annual Inspections: We conduct thorough annual inspections of all gas appliances, ensuring they are safe to use and issuing a CP12 certificate upon completion.
