Landlord Gas Safety Certificates
If you need a landlord gas safety certificate, we inspect every gas appliance, flue and ventilation point, then issue the landlord gas safety record. Gas Safe registered engineers cover rental properties across Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and the North Cotswolds.
What’s included in your landlord gas safety certificate
Your rental property needs a current record for the landlord file, tenant and letting agent. We note the appliance details, safety results and any issues found, giving you clear evidence of the check.
If we find a defect, we explain what needs attention before it affects the tenancy. You receive completed paperwork for your records and any follow-up work.
Every gas appliance checked
Your boiler, fire, cooker and other gas appliances are inspected and tested by Gas Safe registered engineers.
Flues and ventilation included
We check flue routes, terminals and ventilation points, so unsafe combustion gases or restricted airflow are identified.
Complete landlord gas record
You receive the appliance details, test results, engineer information and any defects recorded on the landlord gas safety record.
Defects explained clearly
If we find a safety issue, we explain the risk and the work needed before you decide how to proceed.
Paperwork for your property file
The completed record gives you clear evidence for your landlord file, tenant and letting agent.
Follow-up work available
If the inspection identifies a repair, we can explain the next step and arrange the required gas work through the same team.
Before Letting
Arrange the inspection before a new tenancy begins, so missing paperwork does not delay the move-in date or the handover.
The checks behind a complete landlord gas safety record
When a landlord needs a gas safety certificate, we send directly employed engineers who record appliance readings clearly and explain any remedial work. You receive a written quotation before work starts, so costs and next steps are clear.
Questions about landlord gas safety certificates
What does a landlord gas safety certificate check?
Before we attend, provide access to every gas appliance, boiler controls and relevant records. Tell tenants about the visit, and keep appliances accessible for inspection without stored items blocking them.
How long does a landlord gas safety certificate last?
Your landlord gas safety certificate lasts twelve months from its inspection date. We can arrange the next check before expiry, keeping the tenancy file current and ready for agents too.
What happens if a landlord gas safety check finds a fault?
If an appliance is unsafe, we explain why it must not be used, record the finding, and agree the next step with you. We provide updated paperwork after remedial work.
How do I get a landlord gas safety certificate?
To get a landlord gas safety certificate, contact us with the property address and tenancy details. We arrange the inspection, then send the completed record directly for your landlord file.
Do tenants need a copy of the landlord gas safety certificate?
Yes. Tenants need a copy of the completed record. We can send it for the landlord to provide before occupation or within 28 days of inspection, as required by law.
What happens if the inspection finds a problem
If a property has several gas appliances, we assess each one individually rather than treating the boiler as the whole inspection. We record the relevant details clearly, so the landlord gas safety record shows exactly what was checked.
If an appliance cannot be passed, we explain the finding and what needs to happen next. We only complete the record once the required safety work has been dealt with, giving you a clear basis for managing the tenancy.
Arrange access first
Every gas appliance, flue and ventilation point needs to be reachable during the inspection. Please arrange access to boiler cupboards, utility rooms and any other rooms containing gas appliances.
What the engineer needs to reach
If a tenant or letting agent holds the keys, make sure they know which rooms need to be opened. We cannot assess an appliance or its ventilation properly if access is blocked, so we explain any part of the installation that remains unchecked.
Each appliance is assessed separately
A boiler inspection does not cover other gas appliances at the property. We assess the installation appliance by appliance and relate the findings to the correct equipment.
Clear identification on the record
We record the relevant appliance details and safety results against the equipment checked. This gives the landlord, tenant or agent a clear account of what the inspection covered, rather than a general note for the property.
If we find a safety concern
An issue with an appliance, flue or ventilation point may need attention before the record can be completed. We explain the finding in plain terms and set out the practical next step.
No unclear recommendations
You are told which part of the installation needs work and why it matters. If remedial work is required, we provide a written quotation before starting, so the landlord can decide how to proceed with clear costs.
What happens after the visit
Once the inspection is complete, we provide the completed landlord gas safety record for the property file. Any follow-up work remains clearly linked to the finding made during the inspection.
Paperwork for the tenancy file
The record gives you the appliance details and safety results in one document for managing the rental property. If further work is needed, we explain what must be addressed and update the paperwork when the required safety work has been completed.
To arrange a landlord gas safety certificate, send us the property address and details of the gas appliances on site. We’ll confirm what the inspection requires and what needs to be accessible when the engineer visits.
Once the inspection is booked, let the tenant or managing agent know who will provide access. This helps us complete the check properly and gives you the information needed to deal with the certificate and any follow-up work.
