Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate
All landlords must ensure that their properties are equipped with an appropriate Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) in place. This certification proves that a qualified engineer has checked every gas appliance and flues within a property, and has confirmed that they are safe to use.
All Gas Safe engineers carry a photo identification card that you must ask to see prior to any work that is carried out at your property. The card demonstrates that the engineer is on the Gas Safe Register.

A gas safety certificate, also known as a CP12 is a legal document that confirms the safe operation of your gas appliances and flues. Gas safe registered engineers must issue the certificate. It is an obligation for hotel owners, landlords and B&B owners. To avoid accidents that could be dangerous, it is recommended that homeowners have a gas safety inspection conducted by a licensed tradesperson each year.
The CP12 can be used to verify the assessment of all gas appliances and equipment that are on your property by a skilled and trained engineer. They will review the critical information to determine if the appliance is working properly and in compliance with necessary safety protocols. They will also inspect chimneys and flues to make sure they are safe.
If a problem is found The engineer will write it on the CP12 and will take the necessary steps to correct it. They will then issue you with an updated version of the certificate to ensure that all gas equipment is safe to use.
Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations of 1998 state that landlords must conduct annual inspections on their gas appliances that are not domestic and flues. Failure to follow the rules could result in heavy fines or penalties.
During the inspection the engineer will conduct a test on all the appliances in the house along with their connections and flues. The engineer will then evaluate the condition of any gas-related installation such as the boiler or the pipework. They will also record the findings on the CP12 which is required to be provided to tenants within 28-days of the inspection.
Boats and vehicles for leisure accommodation that are used for recreation purposes such as caravans and lodges, must be regularly checked by a gas safe registered engineer to ensure they are in good functioning order. The engineer will examine the gas appliances and equipment as well the flues and connection points in the vessel or vehicle. They will then supply the owner with the "Landlord Gas Safety Record for Leisure Accommodation" or CP2.

Carbon Monoxide Leaks
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an extremely dangerous gas that could be leaked from faulty gas appliances. It is a colourless and odourless gas that could poison those who breathe it. It can affect the brain and blood. The best way to detect a CO leak is to use an audible alarm or a carbon monoxide detector. It is also an excellent idea to ensure that your gas appliances and flues examined regularly by an Gas Safe registered engineer.
A carbon monoxide leak has been reported at a primary school in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. Emergency services were dispatched to Martins Wood Primary School in Mildmay Road just after 13:00 BST on Wednesday. Firefighters, police and the East of England Ambulance Service attended the scene. South Central Ambulance Service treated an injured woman on the scene for suspected carbon monoxide intoxication.
If you suspect you may have CO leaks, it is important to take a breather and shut off all gas appliances immediately. Contact your gas company to ask them to turn off the gas at the meter. You should also open all doors and windows so that the air can breathe.
