Gas Safety Certificates in Staplehurst

The Gas Safe Register authorizes Gas Safety Certs to perform inspections on residential, commercial as well as newly built properties. We are licensed to issue the following types of certificates:

• Landlord Gas Safety Certificate:

This is a domestic certificate that landlords need to prove the gas safety of their residential property. The Landlord Gas Safety Certificate is also known as the CP12 certificate and needs to be renewed annually like all other gas certificates.

As a landlord, you are legally required to give your tenants a copy of this certificate within 28 days of the latest Gas Safety Check. We can help you fulfill this duty by sending our engineer for inspection just 2 days after order placement.

• Commercial Gas Safety Certificate:

All business owners need to get a Commercial Gas Safety Certificate to prove the gas safety of their commercial properties. This certificate has to be made even if only one gas appliance is installed on your property.

Failure to get this certificate made can lead to significant repercussions in the shape of heavy penalties and even jail time. Your business insurance can also get canceled, so avoid this risk and get a certificate made soon.

There is no concept of a grace period when it comes to Gas Safety Certificates in Staplehurst because these certificates are essential to ensure the gas safety of your properties.

However, there is one way to buy yourself some extra time and avoid any legal consequences. You can add a month or two to your certificate's life if you get your property inspected within 10 to 12 months of the last Gas Safety Check because the new certificate will only become active once the old certificate expires.

Can I rent out my house without a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate?

No, you can’t! Getting a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate before renting your house is necessary because you are legally required to provide your tenants with a copy of the certificate within 28 days of the latest Gas Safety check.

Is there a difference between a CP12 certificate and a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate?

No, there is no difference between these two certificates. The Landlord Gas Certificate has many names. It is also known as the CP12 certificate and even as the Residential Gas Safety Certificate.

Can I get a digital copy of my certificate?

Yes! If you wish to receive a digital copy of your certificate, we can send it to you via email after the certificate has been made.

Why are Commercial Gas Safety Certificates more expensive to inspect?

Commercial Gas Safety Certificates are more expensive to inspect because the infrastructure of these properties is more complex, so engineers need special training to study these properties. Alongside this, commercial buildings usually have a more significant number of appliances installed in them, which also makes the inspection longer.

How long does it take to get a Gas Safety Certificate?

Getting a gas certificate usually takes 3 to 4 days. The registered engineer will arrive at your home within two days of the order to carry out the gas safety check, which will take around 30 to 60 minutes, and within 24 hours of the inspection, you will receive your certificate.
