Appliance and installations in a domestic or commercial property. As a landlord or business owner, it’s your moral and legal obligation to ensure the safety of your tenants and employees. Should an accident occur involving a gas appliance then the landlord of both types of properties will be liable if the gas certificate has expired. A valid CP12 will not only serve as your major defence in the event of an accident, it also shows a duty of care to tenants and employees. During the inspection, your appointed engineer will check and report any issues that does not meet regulation standards. A CP12 must be conducted every 12-months, without fail! As a landlord it’s also your responsibility to provide a copy of the certificate to the tenants within 28-days of the inspection.
If you are looking for a qualified service provider to test your gas appliances, look no further. Greenserve Ltd. is a local multi-trade home maintenance company (working under the banner of serviceteam) providing services across Greater London and surrounding areas. Our Gas Safe qualified engineers will assess the gas appliances in the property including the gas boiler, gas fire/s, gas heater/s and the gas installation. If all the appliances are deemed safe to use a certificate will be issued electronically, which covers the property for 12 months. Should the test be unsuccessful a full report outlining the remedial work required to meet with gas regulations, will be issued. It is then up to the responsible person to authorise the remedial works. Only when the remedial works are completed will the CP12 be issued.
