Landlord Gas Safety Checks
Landlords need an annual gas safety check for each rented property. We inspect appliances, flues and ventilation, then complete the CP12 gas safety record across Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and the North Cotswolds, leaving clear paperwork for tenants and property records.
Practical Experience with Landlord Gas Compliance
A gas safety check is a legal inspection, not automatically a full boiler service. Our Gas Safe-registered engineers keep those jobs distinct, so you know whether the report covers safety, maintenance or both.
Older rented homes can have open-flued appliances, unusual flue routes or ventilation altered during renovation. We assess these details against current safety requirements and explain any concern in practical terms, rather than leaving you with an unclear pass or fail.
If we find a defect, you receive clear findings and a written quotation before any additional work starts. The completed landlord gas safety record gives you usable paperwork for the tenant, letting agent and property file, with no surprise charges.
From Booking to Completed Gas Safety Record
For a rented property, the practical work starts before an engineer arrives. We collect the address and appliance details, agree access arrangements, then complete the visit and organise the resulting record for the people responsible.
Review the property history
If the previous gas safety record or maintenance notes are available, we review them before the visit. This helps us identify recurring faults and any appliances needing particular attention.
Prepare for the inspection
The tenant or agent can tell us about operating problems, warning signs or recent building work. That context helps us assess issues that may not be obvious during a routine check.
Check every relevant appliance
We inspect each gas appliance included in the property, along with its associated flue and ventilation arrangements. We also consider whether alterations or stored items affect safe operation.
Explain the result clearly
After the inspection, we talk through the condition of each appliance and any action needed. You’ll know which points affect safety and which are maintenance recommendations.
Keep the record usable
We complete the gas safety record with the property and appliance details, inspection findings and any safety actions. That gives you a clear document to retain and provide as required.
Experienced Engineers for Landlord Compliance
Since 1983, our family-run team has supported landlords with gas safety checks and clear records. Engineers are directly employed, and many have more than ten years’ service, giving property managers continuity from inspection to paperwork.
Questions About Landlord Gas Safety Checks
What happens if a gas appliance fails the landlord safety check?
If we find a dangerous fault, we explain it before leaving, record the required action, and advise who must arrange repairs. We do not conceal problems from landlords or tenants.
How long must landlords keep a CP12 gas safety record?
Keep each gas safety record for at least two years from the date of the check. We can provide a dated copy for your property file and future compliance checks.
Can tenants remain at home during a landlord gas safety check?
Tenants can usually remain at home, provided the engineer can access every gas appliance, flue and ventilation point. We’ll explain any disruption before starting and keep the visit orderly throughout.
When should a landlord arrange an annual gas safety check?
Arrange it within 12 months of the previous check, and before the existing record expires. We’ll help coordinate access early enough to keep the inspection on schedule for your tenants.
What does a landlord gas safety check include?
We inspect each gas appliance, its flue and ventilation, check operating pressure and safety devices, then record results, defects and remedial advice clearly on the completed landlord gas safety record.
A Straightforward Gas Safety Service
Managing several properties means needing records that stand up to scrutiny, not vague advice. We explain defects, separate immediate safety action from recommended repairs, and send records promptly so you can plan work and keep tenancy files current.
One Regional Team
A portfolio spread across Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire or the North Cotswolds stays with one regional team, rather than a national chain.
Gas Safe Engineers
Gas work is carried out by Gas Safe-registered engineers, meeting the legal requirement for inspection and work on rented property boilers.
Findings You Can Act On
If an appliance, flue or ventilation arrangement needs attention, we explain the risk and the practical next step in plain terms.
Clear Communication
Property managers receive a direct explanation of the inspection findings, so they can brief tenants and decide what work should happen next.
Quoted Repairs
If remedial work is needed, we provide a written quotation before starting, so the repair cost is clear rather than added unexpectedly.
