Common Questions
What exactly is a Gas Safety Certificate?
A Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is a legal document that confirms all gas appliances, fittings, pipework and flues in a property have been inspected by a Gas Safe registered engineer and meet current safety standards. It's mandatory for landlords and recommended for homeowners.
How long does a Gas Safety inspection take?
A gas safety inspection typically takes 30-90 minutes depending on the number and type of gas appliances in your property. The engineer will need to test each appliance individually and check all associated pipework and flues.
What properties need a Gas Safety Certificate?
All rental properties with gas appliances must have an annual Gas Safety Certificate by law. This includes houses, flats, HMOs and commercial rental properties. Homeowners are not legally required to have one but it's strongly recommended for safety and insurance purposes.
How much does a Gas Safety Certificate cost in Wolverhampton?
Gas Safety Certificate costs start from £60 and vary depending on the number of gas appliances and property complexity. Properties with more appliances or harder-to-access installations may cost more. We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
How long is a Gas Safety Certificate valid?
A Gas Safety Certificate is valid for 12 months from the date of issue for rental properties. Landlords must arrange annual renewals to maintain legal compliance. Homeowners can choose to renew annually or when selling their property.
What happens if I don't have a Gas Safety Certificate when renting?
Landlords who fail to provide a valid Gas Safety Certificate face serious consequences including fines up to £6,000, prohibition orders preventing rental, and potential prosecution. In serious cases, this can lead to imprisonment. The certificate is a legal requirement that cannot be ignored.
