Registered Gas Safe engineers issue gas safety certificates (CP12) after inspecting gas appliances, such as fires, cookers, and boiler installations. It confirms all installations meet safety standards and lists inspection details, defects, and required actions.
Before providing certification, our engineers will carry out the following checks:
Gas safety certification confirms that appliances are safe, preventing leaks, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning. In the UK, landlords are legally required to provide annual landlord certificates under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
A registered Gas Safe engineer must perform the inspection, and tenants must receive a copy within 28 days or before moving in. Noncompliance can result in fines or imprisonment. While not mandatory for homeowners or employers, regular checks improve efficiency, reduce costs, support property sales, and demonstrate a strong commitment to safety and compliance.
To obtain a gas safety certificate, hire a registered Gas Safe engineer from the UK’s official Gas Safe Register. Use the website’s search tool to find qualified engineers by postcode, town, or appliance type. Always check their Gas Safe ID card for their photo, licence number, and approved work types.

Beyond annual checks, which include gas supply tests, regular upkeep of appliances helps maintain performance and safety. Cleaning filters, checking seals, and ensuring proper ventilation reduce risks and improve energy efficiency. Regular inspections can also detect carbon monoxide leaks early, protecting occupants from harm. Keeping detailed maintenance records supports safety compliance and future reference.
Knowing the signs of gas leaks and hazards is crucial. A strong smell of rotten eggs, hissing near pipes, or yellow flames can all indicate problems. Symptoms like dizziness, nausea, or headaches may signal carbon monoxide exposure. If a leak is suspected, evacuate immediately and contact a registered Gas Safe engineer for inspection and repair.
