What are Landlord Gas Safety Certificates?
Every gas appliance in your rental property requires an up to date landlord gas safety certificate and each individual certificate is legally required to be renewed every year. This is to keep your property and tenants safe from gas leaks.
Once a gas safety check is completed and as long as no issues are found, you will receive a landlord gas safety certificate for yourself and you’re required to provide any tenants with their own copies of any landlord gas safety certificates within 28 days.
If an inspection takes place and problems are found, you will be advised on the steps you must take to resolve any issues. This could include repairs, replacements, and removals to name a few options.
What Are Your Gas Safety Responsibilities?
As a landlord, you must follow the rules put in place by the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, which is the current gas legislation and requires all the gas appliances, your gas boiler, chimneys, flues, fireplaces, and fittings to be working properly and safely.
You are responsible for organising an annual gas safety inspection from a qualified engineer, such as our team at Max Gas, who will inspect all appliances properly and make sure there are no safety issues before providing you with your landlord gas safety certificate.
It is the landlord’s responsibility to arrange any essential maintenance that may be required should any problems be found and you would ideally get appliances serviced in lines with manufacturer advice.
You are not responsible for tenants personal gas appliances, however, you should ensure the safety of connecting flues. For peace of mind, it is highly recommended you offer to include the tenant’s appliances in your own gas safety check if the tenant is happy to do so and pass on additional costs.

What is a Gas Safety Inspection?
To keep your North London property and tenants safe, it is essential that an annual inspection of your gas appliances, flues, and chimneys is carried out. The process will take up to an hour and will either offer peace of mind that your appliances are deemed safe for another year, or you will be told what maintenance is required for your landlord’s gas safety certificate. During the inspection, one of our qualified engineers will check:
-Appliances: Gas appliances such as ovens will be inspected to ensure it is burning at the correct operating pressure and may check gas hobs to ensure they are functioning properly with no sign of leakage.
-Ventilation Passages: These will be checked to make sure there are no blockages and are working properly to ventilate the property. Blockages can be caused by a build-up of dirt and grime so keeping them clean is essential.
-Transference of Gases: Your gas safety engineer will check to make sure harmful gases are being cleanly transferred out of the property and won’t become trapped or allowed to build up over time.
If no faults are found, you will receive a landlord gas safety certificate that will last for 12 months and copies must be given to tenants within 28 days of the inspection. When faults are found, your engineer will explain the faults identified and record them, arranging a follow-up visit to fix any problems. Notices will be issued and appliances may be switched off. Only a gas safe registered engineer can remove these notices.
