Need a landlord CP12 in Telford?
Gas Safe 621146. Certificates for landlords across Telford and Shropshire.
We are Gas Safe registered engineers and carry out checks on relevant gas
appliances and flues in accordance with current landlord gas safety requirements.
Once the inspection is complete, we provide the appropriate gas safety record
detailing the checks carried out.
Whether you have a single rental property or manage several properties across
Telford, contact us to arrange the required inspection.
Landlords have a legal responsibility to make sure the relevant gas appliances
and flues they provide for tenants are checked for safety by a suitably qualified
Gas Safe registered engineer.
These checks are normally required every 12 months. A current gas safety record
must also be provided to tenants in accordance with the landlord’s legal
responsibilities.
CombiCert carries out landlord gas safety checks throughout Telford for private
landlords, property owners and letting agents.
What Does a Landlord Gas Safety Check Include?
The exact checks depend on the appliances and installation within the property,
but a landlord gas safety inspection will normally include examination of the
relevant gas appliances and associated flues.
Depending on the installation, this may include:
Checking gas appliances for safe operation
Checking appliance operating pressures or heat input where appropriate
Checking flue performance and combustion-product removal
Checking relevant safety devices
Checking ventilation requirements where applicable
Checking for obvious signs of unsafe installation or deterioration
Recording the appliances and checks carried out
Providing the appropriate Landlord Gas Safety Record
If an appliance cannot be safely operated or an unsafe situation is identified,
we will explain what we have found and what action is required.
How Often Does a Landlord Need a Gas Safety Check?
Relevant landlord-provided gas appliances and flues normally require a gas safety
check every 12 months.
The regulations also allow landlords to arrange the check during the two months
before the existing check is due while retaining the original annual renewal date.
This can make it easier to organise inspections without gradually bringing the
renewal date forward each year.
If you are unsure when your next inspection is due, check the date shown on your
current gas safety record.
What Is a Landlord Gas Safety Record?
The document commonly referred to as a gas safety certificate or CP12 is formally
a Landlord Gas Safety Record.
It records information about the gas appliances and flues checked, the results of
the inspection, any safety issues identified and details of the engineer who
carried out the work.
Existing tenants must normally be provided with a copy of the record within
28 days of the check. New tenants should receive a current record before they
move into the property.
Gas Safety Check or Boiler Service?
A landlord gas safety check and a boiler service are not the same thing.
The gas safety inspection is concerned with confirming the safety of relevant gas
appliances and flues and producing the required record. A boiler service is a
maintenance procedure focused specifically on the condition, operation and
servicing requirements of the boiler.
A boiler can pass a gas safety inspection without having received a full annual
service.
What Happens If an Appliance Fails the Gas Safety Check?
If we identify an unsafe appliance or installation, we will explain the issue and
the appropriate action required.
Depending on the problem, an appliance may need adjustment, repair or further
investigation before it can be safely used.
A failed safety check does not automatically mean that the appliance needs
replacing. Where repair is appropriate, we can discuss the available options with
you.
Gas Safety Checks for Letting Agents and Multiple Properties
CombiCert also works with letting agents and landlords responsible for multiple
rental properties.
If you have several properties requiring annual checks, contact us with the
addresses, access arrangements and renewal dates and we can discuss the most
practical way to organise the inspections.
Keeping annual checks organised can help prevent certificates being overlooked
when several properties have different renewal dates.

Landlord Gas Safety FAQs
How often do landlords need a gas safety certificate?
Relevant landlord-provided gas appliances and flues normally require a gas safety
check every 12 months by a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
Can I have the gas safety check carried out early?
Yes. Current rules allow the annual check to be carried out during the two months
before the existing renewal date while retaining the original expiry cycle.
How quickly must I give the record to my tenant?
Existing tenants should normally receive a copy of the completed gas safety record
within 28 days. A new tenant should be provided with a current record before moving
into the property.
How long does a landlord need to keep the gas safety record?
Landlords are normally required to keep gas safety records for at least two years.
Is a CP12 the same as a Landlord Gas Safety Record?
CP12 is a commonly used industry term, but the document required by law is a
Landlord Gas Safety Record.
Does a gas safety check include a boiler service?
No. A gas safety inspection and a boiler service are different procedures. If the
boiler also needs its annual service, tell us when booking.
What if the boiler fails the inspection?
We will explain the safety issue and what needs to happen before the appliance can
be safely used. Depending on the fault, repair may be possible without replacing
the boiler.
Do you carry out checks for letting agents?
Yes. We work with individual landlords, property owners and letting agents
throughout Telford.
