In the meantime, let’s take a look at why Gas Safety Certificates are so important.

Did you know, Gas Safety Certificates have been around since 1998?

Commonly known as CP12 certificates in the UK, they were introduced as a legal requirement following the enactment of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. These regulations were established to protect tenants, landlords, and homeowners by ensuring that gas appliances, fittings, and flues are safely installed and maintained.

Why are they so important?

Put simply, gas safety is a matter of life and death. Poorly maintained or faulty gas appliances can lead to deadly hazards, including gas leaks, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Each year, dozens of people in the UK die from carbon monoxide poisoning due to faulty gas appliances, while thousands more suffer from symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and confusion.

Did you know it’s a legal requirement for landlords?

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require landlords to have all gas appliances in their rental properties inspected by a qualified engineer every year.

A gas safety check includes examining the appliances for defects, assessing the proper functioning of ventilation systems, and ensuring there are no gas leaks or risks of carbon monoxide exposure.

Providing peace of mind for your tenants

Everyone wants to live in a safe and secure living environment. Gas appliances that are regularly inspected and maintained are less likely to develop problems that could become dangerous to people’s health and safety.

A gas safety inspection can also be helpful even if you’re not legally obligated to do so. Many people like to have this process carried out so they don’t have to worry about expensive repairs later on.

Why should you only ever use ‘Gas Safe’ registered engineers?

It’s the law and vital for ensuring a gas safety check is carried out properly. The Gas Safe Register was established in 2009 to replace CORGI (Council for Registered Gas Installers) as the UK's official gas registration body. The Gas Safe Register is designed to protect the public from unsafe work on gas appliances.

That’s why we only ever hire Gas Safe registered engineers for your home in Dewsbury.

Quality work guaranteed for your property.

Our registered Gas Safe engineers are accountable to the Gas Safe Register, so they’re always accountable for their work.

If there are any issues with the work carried out, customers can report the problem to the Gas Safe Register, which will then conduct an investigation. This system helps to ensure that registered engineers work to the highest standards and act responsibly.

Did you know that many insurance policies require that gas appliances are serviced by a qualified Gas Safe engineer? If an unregistered person conducts the work, any related claims could be denied, leaving the homeowner or landlord financially vulnerable in case of an accident or breakdown.
