Why Choose Fact Services For Your Landlord Gas Safety Certificates?

The Benefits of Professional Landlord Gas Checks

While securing a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate is a mandatory legal obligation, choosing a highly proficient team for your annual gas check provides benefits that go well beyond basic compliance. A thorough boiler inspection helps to identify minor wear and tear before it escalates into a complete system breakdown during the cold winter months.By keeping your gas installations running efficiently, you extend the lifespan of expensive appliances and help reduce energy bills for your tenants. Furthermore, maintaining a valid CP12 Sandwell certificate is crucial for validating your landlord building and contents insurance policies. Should a gas-related incident occur without a valid certificate in place, your insurance provider is likely to void any claims.Above all, a rigorous inspection delivers total peace of mind. You can rest assured knowing you are actively protecting your tenants from the silent, deadly threat of carbon monoxide, fulfilling your moral and legal landlord responsibilities to the highest possible standard.

Local Compliance & UK Gas Safety Standards

Navigating UK housing compliance can be complex, but Fact Services ensures your properties remain fully compliant with the law. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must arrange for a Gas Safe Registered Engineer to inspect all pipework, appliances, and flues provided for tenant use every 12 months. You are also required to provide a copy of this certificate to existing tenants within 28 days of the check, or to new tenants before they move in.Our inspections also ensure your gas installations meet the stringent requirements of UK Building Regulations. We pay specific attention to Part J (Combustion appliances and fuel storage systems), which dictates safe ventilation and flue placement, and Part G (Sanitation, hot water safety, and water efficiency).Additionally, we stay up-to-date with guidance from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council's local housing standards. If your rental property features a complex flue system or sits within a conservation area that impacts external venting, our engineers have the expertise to ensure your setup remains fully compliant and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions About Landlord Gas Checks

What happens if an appliance fails the CP12 inspection?If a gas appliance is deemed unsafe, our engineer will disconnect it from the gas supply and issue a warning notice. We will immediately inform you of the fault and provide a clear plan for repair or replacement. It is illegal to allow tenants to use an appliance that has failed a safety check.How long does a CP12 certificate last?A Landlord Gas Safety Certificate is valid for exactly 12 months. To ensure continuous coverage, you can arrange your annual gas check up to two months before the current certificate expires, without losing the original expiry date.Do I need to check appliances owned by the tenant?No, your legal landlord gas responsibilities only cover the pipework, flues, and appliances that you have provided for the property (such as the main boiler or a built-in hob). However, we are still legally required to check the connecting flues and ensure the tenant's appliance is not posing an immediate danger to the property.

Outstanding 24/7 service!"

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.
