Why Choose Fact Services For Your Landlord Gas Safety Certificates?

The Benefits of Professional Gas Safety Compliance

Booking your annual landlord gas check is more than just a legal box-ticking exercise; it is a vital step in protecting human life and your property investment. A thorough inspection by a qualified Fact Services engineer provides total peace of mind that your tenants are safe from the invisible dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and gas leaks.Furthermore, regular inspections can identify minor faults before they develop into expensive, emergency breakdowns. A well-maintained and efficiently running boiler not only keeps your tenants warm and happy but also extends the lifespan of the appliance. We can also advise on the installation of necessary carbon monoxide alarms to further enhance property safety.

Local Compliance and UK Gas Safety Standards

Property compliance in the UK is heavily regulated. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords are legally obliged to have all gas appliances, pipework, and flues checked every 12 months by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. Failure to hold a valid CP12 certificate can result in severe fines, invalidated property insurance, and an inability to issue valid eviction notices to tenants.At Fact Services, our knowledge of local regulations goes beyond the basics. We ensure all work adheres to UK Building Regulations, specifically Part G (Sanitation, hot water safety and water efficiency) and Part J (Combustion appliances and fuel storage systems). We are highly experienced in navigating local authority requirements across Sandwell and the surrounding areas, ensuring your property remains fully legally compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions About CP12 Certificates

You must provide a copy of the new certificate to existing tenants within 28 days of the check, or to new tenants before they move in.What happens if an appliance fails the inspection? If an appliance is deemed unsafe, our engineer will legally cap it off to prevent use and protect your tenants. We will then provide a clear, no-obligation quote for the necessary repairs or a replacement appliance.Do you service the boiler during a CP12 inspection?

Mark T. / Wolverhampton

"We had a persistent damp patch that another plumber couldn't find the source of. Fact Services came out to us in Dudley, used their thermal imaging camera, and pinpointed the hidden leak under the floorboards in minutes. Saved us from ripping up the whole living room floor. Outstanding 24/7 service!"

Sarah J. / Dudley

What is a CP12 certificate?

+

A CP12 (CORGI Proforma 12) is the official name for the Landlord Gas Safety Record. It is a document that proves a Gas Safe registered engineer has inspected the gas appliances and pipework in a rental property and confirmed they are safe for use.

How often do I need a Gas Safety Certificate in Wolverhampton?

+

You must have a new inspection every 12 months. You can arrange the check up to two months before the current certificate expires without losing the original expiry date—similar to an MOT for a car.

Do I need a CP12 if the property only has a gas hob?

+

Yes. Even if the heating is electric, if there is any gas appliance or gas supply pipework in the property, you must have a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate. This includes gas hobs, ovens, or gas-fired water heaters.

What happens if my property fails the safety check?

+

If an appliance is unsafe, the engineer will explain the fault and, depending on the severity, may have to disconnect it. We will provide a clear explanation of what is needed to make it safe and offer a quote for the necessary repairs to get your certificate issued.

Are tenants responsible for gas safety checks?

+

No, the legal responsibility lies entirely with the landlord. However, tenants are responsible for allowing the engineer access to the property to perform the check.
