Landlord Gas Compliance

Landlords must ensure gas appliances, flues and associated pipework in rental properties are checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. A Gas Safety Record (CP12) must be provided to tenants.

The check covers boilers, fires, cookers and other gas appliances owned by the landlord, plus flue routes and pipework in the property. Appliances owned by tenants are the tenant's responsibility unless connected to landlord-owned pipework.

Provide tenants with a copy of the gas safety certificate within 28 days of the annual check. New tenants must receive a copy before moving in. Retain records for at least two years.

APS issues CP12 documentation promptly after inspection and can schedule renewals across multiple properties — coordinating access with letting agents across Newbury, Reading and Berkshire.

Certificates lapsing between tenancies, unrecorded appliance replacements and blocked flue terminals are frequent issues found during inspections. An annual service alongside the safety check keeps appliances efficient and reduces breakdown callouts.

If a property fails the safety check, the engineer will advise what must be repaired before the appliance can be used. APS carries out remedial work and re-inspection where required.

We work with portfolio landlords and letting agents for CP12 renewals, responsive repairs and planned boiler servicing. Clear invoicing and job reports support your compliance audits.
