What do I get?

By law, only Gas Safe Registered engineers can carry out Gas Safety checks. Here at Easy EPC we have a team of registered engineers across the UK, who can carry out checks on both domestic and commercial properties.

After the survey you will receive a Gas Safety Record (certificate) containing:

A description of and the location of each appliance or flue checked.
The name, registration number and signature of the individual carrying out the check.
The date on which the appliance or flue was checked.
The address of the property at which the appliance or flue is installed.
The name and address of the landlord (or their agent where appropriate).
Any safety-related defect identified and any remedial action taken.
Confirmation that the safety check has included an examination of:
The effectiveness of any flue.
The supply of combustion air.
Its operating pressure or heat input or, where necessary, both.
Its operation so as to ensure its safe functioning.

If defects are found during the gas safety check then the landlords must take appropriate action to ensure the property is gas safe. If concerns are found then they must be rectified by a Gas Safe registered engineer before the appliance is used again - it is an offence to use/allow the use of any gas appliances that are known to be unsafe.

You will need to keep this record for a minimum of two years.

Properties exempt from needing a Gas Saftey Certificate

Properties exempt from needing a Gas Safety Certificate

There are several circumstances where those who would normally need to get a Gas Safety Certificate may be exempt, such as:

If a lease is for longer than 7 years and is for life then the landlord is not responsible for gas safety checks, however if there is an implied tenancy arrangement (E.G. accommodation is provided as part of a job) then the landlord IS responsible.
Landlords of properties without a supply of gas are not required to provide a gas safety record.

All gas consumers are advised to have a Gas Safe registered engineer check their appliances at least annually.

What does a Gas Saftey Certificate survey involve?

What does the survey involve?

Gas safety checks can only be performed by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer, who has the correct knowledge to test gas appliances to ensure they’re safe to continue operating in your home. The engineer will inspect gas appliances such as the hob, oven, boiler, and hot water cylinder and during the inspection they will:

Check the gas appliances to ensure that they’re:

Set and adjusted correctly so the gas burns properly.
Suitable for the room it’s located in.
Physically stable.
Securely fitted and correctly connected to the gas pipework.

They will also ensure that:

There’s an adequate and permanent air supply suitable for the appliance installed.
All safety devices are functioning properly.
Any flues, chimneys and air vents are operating correctly.
The survey takes 30 minutes on average for domestic properties, however this differs depending on the size or complexity of the property. Due to the large variations in size and complexity of commercial buildings we cannot provide an average time that the survey takes, please ask for an estimate on booking.

Landlords are not responsible for any gas appliances that they do not provide, however they are responsible for the parts of the associated installation and pipework, just not the actual appliance.

Renewal Information

For rental properties in the UK, Gas Safety Certificates must be renewed annually.

The landlord is responsible for instructing a Gas Safety Certificate, and keeping a record of these for a minimum of two years. Landlords in breach of Gas Safety regulations can face fines and/or imprisonment.

You can arrange a Gas Safety Certificate 10-12 months after the last certificate without the original certificate expiry date being affected, however if it’s completed <10 months or >12 months from the last certificate a new deadline date will be provided.
