  • What does a gas safety check involve?

    If not properly cared for and maintained, gas appliances can be dangerous, threatening the safety of your family and your home. Gas safety checks are designed to spot any developing issues to ensure your appliances are safe to use.

    So, what does a gas safety check involve? Well, your engineer will check the following:

    • Whether there are any leaks at your gas meter

    • That each appliance has a sufficient air supply

    • Any appliances have been installed correctly and in the right position

    • Whether your chimney and flue are clear to allow fumes to safely leave your home

    • The pressure of your appliances

    • That the safety devices on your appliances are functioning well

  • How long does a gas safety check take?

    This depends on the size of your home, the number of appliances you own, and whether any immediate repairs are needed. Usually, you can expect your gas safety check to take an average of 30 minutes.

  • How often should gas safety checks be done?

    Gas safety checks are not a legal requirement for homeowners but getting your appliances regularly checked is the best way to avoid accidents. Landlords or the owners of hotels and B&Bs will however need to get an up-to-date gas safety certificate following an annual check.

  • What does a gas safety certificate cover?

    This certificate will have the following information on it:

    • The date of the inspection
    • Your address
    • The position and condition of each appliance
    • The engineer’s name, signature and registration number
    • Date the next check is due
    • Any issues that need to be repaired and how they can be fixed
  • Who can issue a CP12?

    A CP12 is another name for a gas safety certificate and you need to ensure this is up to date legally.

    So, who can issue a CP12? To comply with legal requirements, this can only be issued by a qualified engineer on the Gas Safe Register. If you’re unsure whether your tradesperson is qualified, you can check their name on the Gas Safe website.

  • How much does a gas safety check cost?

    In order to meet the legal requirements, you’ll need to pay a gas safety inspection cost. This covers your gas safety check as well as the cost of a gas safety certificate. The amount you pay for a gas safety check will depend on how many gas appliances are in your home as well as the size and location of your property.

    Usually, gas safety inspection costs are a fixed price but if you have multiple boilers and extra appliances, this price will rise. The average gas safety certificate cost usually falls between £60 and £90. Engineers will often charge an extra £10 for each additional appliance that needs to be checked.

    Read our handy guide to learn more about how much a gas safety check costs. We also cover how to know when you need an inspection and how to get a certificate.
