Why do I need a Gas Safety Certificate?

As the owner or landlord of a domestic property, you have a duty of care to those living in your house, whether it’s your family, friends or, of course, simply yourself. Having a qualified engineer inspect your gas installations is the best way to ensure that the gas appliances that you use in your everyday life are actually safe to use; after all, faulty gas appliances can be deadly.

What does the law say about Gas Safety Certificates?

If you own a domestic property, including as a landlord, it is in fact a legal responsibility to make sure that all gas appliances are in a safe condition and working correctly. For any relevant appliance, which includes central heating boilers, gas hobs or gas fires, a Gas Safety Certificate is what’s needed to verify that the appliance has been checked and is safe to use. A Gas Safety Certificate must be issued by an engineer registered with the Gas Safe Register, as per the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
