Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate

Safety Certificates

They will review the critical information to determine if the installation is functioning correctly and in compliance with required safety protocols. They will also examine flues and chimneys to ensure they are safe.

They will also write down their findings on the CP12, which must be provided to tenants within 28 days of the inspection.
