Why We Do We Love Gas Safe Milton Keynes (And You Should Also!)

Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate

Every landlord is required to ensure that their properties have an authentic Gas Safety Certificate. This certificate shows that a certified engineer has checked every gas appliance and flues in the home, and that they are safe to use.

All Gas Safe engineers carry a identity card with a photo, which you should ask to see prior to any work that is done at your home. This card confirms the engineer's registration on the Gas Safe Register.

Safety Certificates

A gas safety certificate, also known as a CP12 is a government-issued document that guarantees the safety of your gas appliances and flues. Gas safe registered engineers must issue the certificate. It is a legal requirement for hotel owners, landlords, and B&B owners. To prevent dangerous accidents, it is recommended that homeowners get an inspection for gas safety conducted by a licensed tradesperson every year.

The CP12 is used to confirm that a competent and trained engineer has evaluated all gas appliances and equipment on your home. They will examine critical data to determine if the system is functioning correctly and in compliance with necessary safety protocols. They will also inspect flues and chimneys to ensure they are safe.

If a problem is discovered, the engineer will note it on the CP12 and take steps to correct it. They will then issue you with a revised version of the certificate to confirm that all gas equipment is safe to use.

Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations from 1998 stipulate that landlords must conduct annual inspections of their non-domestic gas appliances and flues. Failure to comply could result in hefty fines or penalties.

During the inspection the engineer will test all the appliances in the building, as well as their connections and flues. The engineer will then assess the condition of any gas-related installations such as the boiler and the pipework. They will also write down their findings on the CP12, which must be provided to tenants within 28 days from the date of the inspection.

Gas certified registered engineers must examine vessels and leisure boats like caravans and lodges regularly to ensure they are in good operating condition. The engineer will check the gas appliances and equipment and also the connections and flues inside the vessel or vehicle. The engineer will then give the owner a "Landlord Gas Safety Record For Leisure Accommodation" or CP2.

It is crucial to have a team of knowledgeable professionals on hand for your gas needs, regardless of whether you are a developer or property management company. We can assist you with gas safety certificates as well as boiler maintenance and servicing.

Carbon Monoxide Leaks

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a dangerous gas that can be leaked from faulty gas appliances. It is a colourless and odourless gas that can cause poisoning to those who breathe it. It can affect blood and the brain. The most effective method of detecting the presence of a CO leak is to use an alarm that sounds or a carbon monoxide detector. Gas Safe registered engineers can also inspect your gas appliances and flues on a regular basis.

A carbon monoxide gas leak was reported at an elementary school in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. Emergency services were dispatched to Martins Wood Primary School in Mildmay Road shortly after 13:00 BST on Wednesday. The scene was attended by police, firefighters and East of England Ambulance Service. One woman was treated on the scene by South Central Ambulance Service for suspected carbon monoxide poisoning.

If you suspect a CO leak in your home, it's essential to get outside and switch off all gas appliances as quickly as possible. Contact your gas provider to ask them to turn off the gas at the meter. Also, you should open all doors and windows so that the air can circulate.
