It is law that all property landlords who rent or are intending to rent property are required to have all gas appliances and pipe work checked by a Gas safe engineer.

The CP 12 certificate is a legal requirement and requires refreshing every 12 months. This is a must for all landlords and tenants.

MI Heating & Plumbing will carry out a CP 12 Gas Safety Inspection the checks we will incldue:

For a Landlords Safety Record inspection a tightness check of the full system should be added to the below list

• We will check all appliances for gas tightness, checking for leaks or any pressure loss.
• Check standing and working pressure if test points available.
• Test the burner pressure and gas rate against manufacturer’s data sheet.
• Test for satisfactory provision of necessary ventilation.
• Test flue flow to ensure removal of products of combustion.
• Test satisfactory operation of all the flame failure devices.

Investigate any evidence of unsafe operation and report to a responsible person. An appliance cannot be deemed as having been checked, until the above has been completed.
