Is Your Home Gas Safe?

Why Gas Safety Certification Checks Are Essential for Your Property

Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or tenant, gas safety should never be overlooked. Ensuring your gas appliances are functioning correctly and safely can mean the difference between peace of mind and a potentially life-threatening incident. At Irving Plumbing, Heating & Gas, we’re committed to helping you stay safe, legal, and protected.

What Is a Gas Safety Check?

A Gas Safety Certification Check (also known as a CP12 or Landlord Gas Safety Record) is a thorough inspection of your gas appliances, pipework, flues, and vents carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. The aim is to ensure everything is operating safely and efficiently, and that there are no hidden risks like carbon monoxide leaks.

Who Needs One?

  • Homeowners: While it's not a legal requirement for homeowners, regular checks can prevent costly breakdowns and protect your household from serious health risks.

  • Landlords: It is a legal obligation under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 to have all gas appliances in rental properties checked every 12 months.

  • Tenants: You have the right to see the latest Gas Safety Certificate from your landlord. If you haven’t received one, you should request it immediately.

Why It's Important

1. Protects Lives

Faulty gas appliances can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be fatal. It’s a silent killer—odourless, colourless, and difficult to detect without proper monitoring or checks.

2. Prevents Gas Leaks and Fires

Unmaintained pipework or appliances can result in gas leaks, which pose a high risk of explosion or fire. A safety check helps identify these issues before they become dangerous.

3. Compliance With the Law

For landlords, failing to carry out a gas safety check is not only illegal but can also lead to hefty fines, invalidated insurance, and even criminal prosecution in serious cases.

4. Protects Your Investment

Gas appliances that aren’t maintained regularly wear out faster, break down more often, and are more expensive to fix. Regular checks can extend the lifespan of boilers and heaters, keeping your home running efficiently.

5. Provides Peace of Mind

Knowing your property is gas safe allows you to sleep easier at night. It’s a small step that can prevent serious consequences.

How Often Should It Be Done?

  • Landlords: Every 12 months (legally required)

  • Homeowners: Every 1–2 years is recommended, especially if your boiler is more than 5 years old
