Landlord Gas Safety Inspections
Landlord Gas Safety Inspections across Oxford, Banbury, Northampton, Rugby and surrounding areas
Here at Blackstone Plumbing & Heating we know the importance of Landlord Gas Safety Inspections, and in fact they are a legal requirement for all Landlords with tenanted properties.
The certificate produced during these inspections, often referred to as a CP12, ensures the safety of all gas appliances and systems within the property. Landlords must arrange for an annual inspection by a GasSafe registered engineer who will assess all gas-related appliances in the property for safety. We offer comprehensive gas safety inspections for all landlords to help safeguard properties and tenants, as well as hot water cylinder and boiler services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Landlord Gas Safety Certificates in the Midlands
What is a landlord gas safety inspection?
A landlord gas safety inspection is a legal requirement for rental properties with gas appliances. During the inspection, a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer checks gas appliances, pipework, flues, and ventilation systems to ensure they are operating safely and correctly. Once the inspection has been completed successfully, a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate is issued.
