In 1996 the government made law that all landlords who rent part, or all of a property, must have all gas appliances and pipe work checked and a certificate to prove it every 12 months. 
All gas appliances in a landlord owned property, which is rented out to tenants, must be checked and serviced for gas safety every twelve months.
We carry out the full gas safety checks on all gas appliances and issue a "landlord's gas safety certificate" (CP12). A copy of this certificate must be presented to tenants in the property, presented to new tenants and copies stored for at least two years.
