Need a gas safety inspection for your property?
At Touch Of Heat, our Gas Safe registered engineers carry out gas safety inspections for both domestic and commercial properties, issuing a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate on completion.
Gas Safety Inspection
A gas safety inspection is a formal check of the gas appliances, pipework and fittings within a property to ensure they are operating safely and within legal requirements. At Touch Of Heat, our Gas Safe registered engineers carry out gas safety inspections for both domestic and commercial properties, issuing a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate on completion.
Whether you are a homeowner wanting reassurance, a landlord meeting your legal obligations or a commercial property manager requiring certification for your premises, our team has the qualifications and experience to deliver a thorough and accurate inspection.
What a Gas Safety Inspection Involves
During a gas safety inspection, our engineer carries out a comprehensive assessment of every gas appliance within the property, along with the pipework, connections and ventilation systems that support them.
This includes checking for gas leaks, testing that appliances are burning gas correctly, checking that flues and ventilation are clear and functioning, verifying that safety devices are operating as intended and assessing the condition of pipework and fittings throughout the property.
At the end of the inspection, you receive a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate, which records the findings of the inspection, lists every appliance checked and confirms that the property’s gas installation is safe. Where an issue is identified, we will advise you clearly on what needs to be addressed and what the options are.
Legal Requirements for Landlords
For landlords, a valid gas safety certificate is not optional. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, all landlords with tenanted properties in England and Wales are legally required to have a gas safety inspection carried out every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
The resulting CP12 certificate must be provided to tenants within 28 days of the inspection and made available to new tenants before they move in.
Failure to comply with this requirement is a criminal offence and can result in significant penalties. At Touch Of Heat, we work with a number of landlords across our service area, providing annual gas safety inspections that keep their properties compliant and their tenants safe.
Commercial Gas Safety Inspections
Touch Of Heat has two engineers who are commercially qualified, including for catering environments. This means we are able to carry out gas safety inspections and servicing for commercial properties, including catering establishments with gas cooking equipment. Our commercial gas safety service covers inspection and certification of commercial gas appliances and systems, providing the relevant CP12 documentation required for commercial compliance.
It is worth noting that our commercial offering covers gas safety inspection and servicing only. We do not carry out new commercial gas installations. If you are unsure whether your requirements fall within our scope, contact us, and we will give you a straightforward answer.
