Landlord/Occupier Gas Safety Certificates
In 1996 the government made it law that all landlords who
rent either part or all of a property must have all gas
appliances and pipework checked and a certificate to prove
it, this is renewed every 12 months. If you are a
landlord with your gas appliances unchecked, call us today
- you may save a life from the dangers of carbon monoxide.
Landlord's responsibilities
◊
Landlords have a legal requirement to have all gas
fittings and flues serviced annually by a Corgi registered
gas engineer (Gas Safety Regulations 1998).
◊ Ensure an annual safety check is carried out annually on each gas
fitting/flue.
◊ Landlords must keep a copy of their certificate for a minimum of two
years.
Further and more detailed information on Landlord's
responsibilities can be obtained from - www.hse.gov.uk. A BRASSETT offers landlords and
property agents a gas safety inspection service which
covers all Waddon postcodes and surrounding areas of the
M25.
Any Landlords or property agents, who rent part or all of
a property, must ensure that all household gas appliances
and related pipe work are safety checked every twelve
months. In addition to this they are also required to have
an annual service carried out to ensure the appliance is
in a safe working order.
A Brassett Plumbing will carry out the required inspection
and service on all of the gas appliances and issue the
Landlords safety inspection certificate. It is essential
that any existing tenant or new tenant is given this
certificate. Landlords must keep a copy of their
certificate for a minimum of two years.
If A Brassett Plumbing find that they need to carry out any
repairs within the property or advise on any safety
related issues, permission will be gained from the
Landlord or property agent, so that A Brassett Plumbing can
record that remedial action has been taken, and that the
premises and the appliances are safe for the tenant to
use.
