Gas Safety Certificate in Hedge End

Plumbright Southern issues the gas safety certificate in Hedge End for landlords, letting agents and homeowners. Our Gas Safe registered engineers check every gas appliance, flue and pipework and record the results.

What Landlords Must Do

If you rent out a property, the law says every gas appliance, fitting and flue you provide must have a safety check every 12 months. You must give your tenants a copy of the record within 28 days of the check, and keep each record for at least two years.

More Information

What the Check Covers

We check each gas appliance, such as the boiler, cooker and gas fire. That includes gas pressure, burner operation, flue performance, ventilation and safety devices. We also test the gas pipework for leaks. If something fails, we explain why and what needs doing to put it right.

Selling or Buying a Home

Homeowners do not need a yearly certificate by law, but a gas safety check is useful when buying or selling a house. It gives the buyer peace of mind and can flag issues early. It is also worth having if you have just moved in and do not know the boiler's history.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a gas safety certificate cost in Hedge End?

The cost depends mainly on how many gas appliances need checking. A flat with just a boiler costs less than a house with a boiler, cooker and gas fire. Call us with the number of appliances at your Hedge End property and we will give you a price.

What happens if an appliance fails the gas safety check in Hedge End?

We explain what is wrong and how serious it is. If it is dangerous, we have to turn it off and label it so it is not used until it is repaired. Less serious faults are recorded so they can be put right. In many cases we can carry out the repair ourselves.

Is a CP12 the same as a gas safety certificate in Hedge End?

Yes. CP12 is the old name for the Landlord Gas Safety Record, and many people still use it. Whatever it is called, it is the record a Gas Safe engineer gives after checking the gas appliances in a rented property. Landlords in Hedge End need a new one every year.
