The Landlord Check

A Gas Safety Record Done Properly

Landlords must have every gas appliance and flue they provide for tenants checked for safety every 12 months. It is the law under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. The check must be done by an engineer on the Gas Safe Register.

Most people call the paperwork a gas safety certificate or a CP12, while the law calls it a gas safety record. Landlord checks are part of the gas work we cover across Littleborough, Rochdale and Greater Manchester.

Homeowners have no legal duty to get one, but a check is a sensible step when you buy, sell or move into a home. It gives you an honest picture of the boiler, the cooker and the pipework before you rely on them.

The same rules cover holiday lets and rooms let in a shared house. Between checks, landlords must also keep the appliances and pipework in a safe condition, which usually means a regular service too.

Who Needs One

When a Gas Safety Check Is Due

The rules depend on who you are and what is changing at the property. These are the usual times to book a check, and the date of the last one is on the current record.

SituationWhat the rules sayWhat we do

Every 12 Months

A rented home needs its gas appliances and flues checked within 12 months of the last check.

We check every appliance and flue, then hand over the new record on the day, ready for the tenants.

Before a New Tenancy

New tenants must get a copy of the current record before they move in.

We check the property before the move-in date, so the record is ready in time and nothing holds up the tenancy.

Booking Up to 2 Months Early

A check done in the 2 months before the due date keeps the original renewal date.

We book the check inside that window, so there is no gap between records.

Letting Agents

Agents often arrange the check for the landlord and need the record for their files.

We work with agents as well as landlords, and send the record to whoever needs it, the landlord, the agent or both.

Buying or Selling a Home

There is no legal duty for homeowners, but buyers may ask for the gas to be checked.

We check the boiler, cooker, fire and pipework, then tell you what we find in plain words.

Aaron Loi

I would highly recommend, the engineer, Jague was professional, efficient, and genuinely kind throughout. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem with my mum’s boiler to a high standard, and made sure everything was working properly before he left.
What really stood out was how helpful and reassuring he was. He didn’t just do the job and leave – he took the time to make sure my mum was okay and that everything was sorted. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, trustworthy, and caring. Excellent service from start to finish. Thank you!

Laura Thompson

Jaque arrived punctually, he replaced the shower taps quickly and was thorough and very clean and tidied up after himself. Jaque was overall a good energy to hv in the flat which is so important when you have randoms in your house. Punctual, thorough, quoted a good price and was humbly grateful for the tip I gave. Would recommend over and over.

Called JN Solutions on Sunday night as had a leak on my kitchen sink. Water was spraying everywhere.
They helped me out over the phone to shut the water off and then sent an engineer around who sorted the problem that night.
Can't recommend these guys highly enough.
Thanks again

The Check Itself

What We Test on Each Appliance

The check follows the regulations, so every appliance gets the same tests. These are the main ones, and each result goes on the record. Nothing is skipped because an appliance looks new.

Flue and Ventilation
The flue is checked to make sure it carries fumes safely outside, and the room has the air supply the appliance needs. Blocked or covered air vents are one of the things we look for.
Burning and Gas Pressure
Each appliance is checked for how it burns, with its gas pressure or heat input measured against the maker's figures. An appliance that burns badly can produce carbon monoxide.
Safety Devices
Flame failure devices and other safety cut-offs are tested to show they work when they are needed. On a hob, that means the gas stops if the flame goes out.
Gas Pipework
The pipework is tested for leaks, so you know the whole supply from the meter is sound. A pressure gauge on the meter shows if any gas is escaping.
Cookers, Hobs and Fires
Every gas appliance the landlord provides is included, not only the boiler. Appliances the tenants own are their responsibility, not the landlord's.
The Record
Each appliance is listed with its location, the result and any defect, with the engineer's name, registration number and signature. It is the paper you show a tenant or agent when they ask.

If Something Fails

What Happens When an Appliance Is Unsafe

Most checks find everything in order, and the record simply shows each appliance passed. When an appliance is unsafe, the gas industry's rules ask the engineer to explain the risk and, with your permission, turn it off until it is fixed.

The fault and what was done about it go on the record, as the regulations require. Once the appliance is put right, it can go back into use, and the landlord or agent gets the updated record.

We explain the repair in plain words and give you the price, so the property is safe again as soon as possible. Tenants are not left without heating or hot water for longer than they need to be. Jaque can carry out the repair himself, so there is no second firm to find.

Problems do not always wait for the yearly check. If a tenant smells gas, they should call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first, and the landlord should arrange a repair straight away.

Worth Knowing

Questions About Gas Safety Checks

Answers for landlords, letting agents and homeowners. For anything else, give Jaque a call.

How often do landlords need a gas safety check?

Every 12 months. A check done up to 2 months before the due date keeps the original renewal date, so the gas safety certificate stays in step each year.

How much is a gas safety certificate in Littleborough?

It depends on how many gas appliances the property has. Call or send the form, and you get a free quote for the gas safety certificate before we book the check.

Is a gas safety check the same as a boiler service?

No. A gas safety check makes sure each appliance is safe to use, while a service cleans and checks the boiler so it runs well. Landlords can have both done on the same visit.

Do homeowners need a gas safety certificate?

Not by law. It is still a sensible check when you buy, sell or move into a home, so you know the gas appliances are safe.

Who gets a copy of the gas safety record?

The landlord keeps it for at least two years. Current tenants get a copy within 28 days of the check, and new tenants get one before they move in.

What happens if an appliance fails the check?

We explain the fault and, with your permission, turn the appliance off until it is repaired. The fault goes on the record, and you get the price to put it right.
