Your Legal Obligations as a Landlord ?

Gas safety isn't optional, it's the law.

  • 01

    What the law requires

    Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, all landlords are legally required to have gas appliances, fittings, and flues in their rental properties inspected by a Gas Safe registered engineer at least once every 12 months.

    A valid Gas Safety Certificate, also known as a CP12, must be kept on record and provided to your tenants within 28 days of the check being completed, or before a new tenancy begins.

  • 02

    If you don't comply

    Failure to comply can result in substantial fines, prosecution, and, most importantly, serious risk to your tenants' safety.

Our Approach to Gas Safety Checks

Professional, efficient, and hassle-free

We understand that as a landlord, your time is valuable and managing multiple properties can be demanding.

At Neater Heat, we aim to make the Gas Safety Check process as straightforward as possible from start to finish. Our friendly team will arrange a convenient appointment, whether the property is occupied or vacant, and our engineer will arrive promptly, carry out a thorough inspection, and issue your Gas Safety Certificate on the day.

We'll keep you informed throughout the process and flag any issues clearly and honestly, without unnecessary alarm. If any remedial work is required to bring an appliance up to standard, we'll explain exactly what's needed and provide a transparent quote before any additional work begins.

From the boiler to the pipework, we inspect everything.

  • The Boiler

    The boiler and any other gas heating appliances should be checked to ensure they are operating safely and correctly.
  • Flue and Ventilation Systems

    The flue and ventilation systems are used to ensure combustion gases are being safely discharged and that the property is adequately ventilated.
  • Gas pipework and connections

    Gas pipework and connections, checking for signs of leaks, corrosion, or deterioration.
  • Safety devices

    All safety devices and controls on each appliance are verified to function correctly and respond as intended.
  • Gas pressure and flow

    Gas pressure and flow, confirming appliances are receiving the correct supply and operating within safe parameters.
  • Carbon monoxide risk

    A check for signs of carbon monoxide risk, ensuring tenants are not exposed to this dangerous and odourless gas.

Easy Online Booking How It Works

  1. Step 1: Tell us about the property

    Provide a few details about the property and its gas appliances so we can ensure your engineer is fully prepared.

  2. Step 2: Choose a time that works for you

    Select a date and appointment window that suits your schedule; whether the property is occupied or vacant, we'll work around you.

  3. Step 3: Receive your certificate on the day

    Your Gas Safe-registered engineer will carry out the inspection and issue your CP12 Gas Safety Certificate before leaving.

Consider a Landlord Boiler Service Plan

If you'd like to go beyond the legal minimum and give your rental property complete heating protection, our Landlord Boiler Care Plans are the ideal solution, starting at £22.50 a month.

Each plan includes your annual Gas Safety Check and boiler service as standard, along with unlimited priority call-outs, and parts and labour for covered repairs, all for a predictable monthly fee with no excess charges. (For boilers between 10 and 15 years old, Neater Heat and the customer split the cost of parts 50/50. For boilers over 15 years old, the customer covers parts, and Neater Heat covers labour. Once old parts are replaced, the new parts fall under the plan. An engineer will talk this through at the welcome visit.)

It's the most hassle-free way to keep your properties compliant, your tenants comfortable, and your maintenance costs under control.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need a Gas Safety Check as a landlord?
Gas Safety Checks must be carried out at least once every 12 months at each rental property. You must provide a copy of the valid Gas Safety Certificate to existing tenants within 28 days of the check, and to new tenants before they move in. It's advisable to book your check before the existing certificate expires to avoid any compliance gaps.
What is a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate?

A CP12 is the official Gas Safety Record issued following a successful Gas Safety Check. It records the details of every gas appliance and flue inspected, the results of each check, and confirmation from a Gas Safe-registered engineer that the property is safe. This document serves as your evidence of compliance as a landlord and must be retained for at least 2 years.

What gas appliances need to be checked?
All gas appliances provided as part of the tenancy must be included in the Gas Safety Check. This typically includes the boiler, gas fires, hobs, and any other gas-powered appliances. Flues and gas pipework associated with those appliances must also be inspected.
What happens if an appliance fails the Gas Safety Check?
If an appliance is found to be unsafe, our engineer will clearly explain the issue and the necessary course of action. Depending on the severity of the fault, the appliance may need to be repaired or taken out of service until it is made safe. We'll provide a transparent quote for any remedial work required and prioritise getting it resolved promptly.
Does a Gas Safety Check include an annual boiler service?
A Gas Safety Check and an annual boiler service are two separate things. The Gas Safety Check confirms that your gas appliances are operating safely and meet your legal obligations as a landlord. A boiler service goes further, involving a more detailed inspection and cleaning of internal components to maintain efficiency and performance. We'd recommend having both carried out — and our Landlord Boiler Care Plans include both as standard.
Can you carry out the check to see if tenants are in the property?
Yes. We regularly carry out Gas Safety Checks in occupied properties. We'll work with you and your tenants to arrange a mutually convenient appointment, and our engineers will be respectful and considerate throughout.
How long does a Gas Safety Check take?
Most Gas Safety Checks take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the number of gas appliances in the property. Your engineer will work efficiently to minimise disruption to you or your tenants.
Will I receive the certificate on the day?
Yes. Your CP12 Gas Safety Certificate will be issued on the day of the inspection, once all checks have been completed satisfactorily.
Do you cover multiple properties?
Yes. We work with landlords across Hampshire and Surrey, from single properties to larger portfolios. If you manage multiple properties, get in touch, and we'll discuss how we can make managing your annual Gas Safety Checks as straightforward as possible.
