Landlord Gas Safe Certificates You Can Rely On

If you rent out a property, obtaining a valid certificate, often referred to as a CP12 Certificate, is a legal requirement. The inspection must be completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer to confirm that all gas appliances, flues and pipework supplied by the landlord meet current safety regulations.

At MD & BW Buxton Ltd, we provide comprehensive landlord gas safety inspections for rental properties across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Whether you own a single buy-to-let property or manage a larger portfolio, our experienced engineers carry out thorough inspections, explain the results clearly and provide the documentation you need to remain compliant.

You can also explore our wider Landlord Services for ongoing property maintenance and compliance support.

What Is Included In A Gas Safe Certificate Inspection?

To issue a Gas Safe Certificate, your property's gas appliances and installations must successfully pass a number of important safety checks.

Our inspections include:

  • Appliances operating within the manufacturer's gas pressure requirements
  • Confirmation that appliances are safe for their intended use
  • Adequate ventilation checks
  • Flue flow and termination tests
  • Spillage tests
  • Visual inspection of accessible gas pipework
  • Safety assessment of installed gas appliances

These checks help identify potential faults before they become serious safety risks, protecting both landlords and tenants.

Why Annual Gas Safety Checks Matter

Annual gas safety checks must be renewed every 12 months for rental properties with gas appliances.

Keeping your certificate up to date helps you:

  • Meet your legal responsibilities as a landlord
  • Protect tenants from gas leaks and carbon monoxide risks
  • Identify developing faults before they become expensive repairs
  • Maintain accurate compliance records
  • Demonstrate that your property is being professionally maintained

Once the inspection has been successfully completed, we issue your Gas Safe Certificate for your records. Landlords are legally required to retain these records and provide copies to tenants where applicable.

What Happens If Your Property Doesn't Pass?

If your property does not meet the required safety standards, we will explain exactly why and advise you on the work needed before a certificate can be issued.

Common reasons include:

  • Unsafe gas appliances
  • Damaged or defective flues
  • Poor ventilation
  • Faulty controls
  • Gas leaks
  • Appliance performance issues

Our engineers always provide honest recommendations and practical advice. If remedial work is required, we can discuss the most appropriate solution before arranging a follow-up inspection.

We also provide professional Boiler Services and Maintenance & Repairs should additional work be required.

Gas appliances should only ever be inspected, serviced or repaired by engineers who are registered with the Gas Safe Register.

  • 18 Aug How Central Heating Systems Differ Between Modern And Traditional Homes

    If you’ve ever moved from an older property into a newer home, or vice versa, you’ve probably noticed that the heating just feels different.
