It may come as a surprise to most landlords that the annual Cp12 or Gas Safety certificate carried out by Gas registered engineers does not legally entail the service  (cleaning)  of the gas central heating boiler only the vital safety checks laid out by the Gas Safe Register. 

Although these checks ensure the safe working they do not prolong the life of the boiler which in turn can result in an inefficient  appliance arising to costs for future parts.

Nearly all boiler manufacturers recommend that the appliance be serviced once a year by a Gas registered engineer.

   

Gas Repairs & Safety

Gas installation and repairs can be dangerous to your property and to your tenants if not conducted with professional care. For this reason, the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 enforce a legal responsibility on landlords to use a qualified Gas Safe Register* approved engineer for gas maintenance work and to obtain an annual service proving safety compliance.
The Regulations state the landlord's responsibilities are to:
Ensure installation pipe work, appliances and flues provided for tenants are maintained in a safe condition
Ensure maintenance and annual safety checks are carried out specifically by a Gas Safe Register* approved engineer
Keep a record of each safety check for 2 years
Issue a copy of the safety check to each existing tenant within 28 days of the check being completed and to any new tenant before they move in Gas Safe Register* approved engineers and the Annual CP12 Certificate
Landlords are required to ensure their gas installation tradesman is registered with the Gas Safe Register*. This means they have the qualifications to carry out safe gas repairs and to provide your property with the annual gas safety check, called a CP12 Inspection. The Gas Safe Register* approved engineer will then issue a CP12 Certificate. For legal compliance a landlord needs to keep this certificate current and to supply their tenants with a copy. It is also the duty of landlords to ensure that the gas appliances and flues they provide for tenants' use are maintained in a safe condition at all times.
