Why Gas Safety Matters for Landlords
As a landlord in Hull, you have a legal duty under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 to ensure all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in your rental property are safe. Failing to do so isn't just a safety risk - it's a criminal offence.
A CP12 certificate (also known as a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate) must be renewed every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer. You're required to provide a copy to new tenants before they move in, and to existing tenants within 28 days of each annual check.
Gas Safety law & your responsibilities
By law, all gas work in the UK must be carried out by an engineer who is registered on the Gas Safe Register. This applies to installations, repairs, servicing, and safety checks.
For landlords, annual gas safety checks are a legal requirement and must be documented with a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12).
Gas Safe registered engineers you can trust
Before allowing any engineer to work on your gas appliances, you should always ask to see their Gas Safe ID card. This confirms they are qualified and legally allowed to carry out gas work.
All our engineers are fully Gas Safe registered and carry valid identification for your peace of mind.
