Landlord's Gas safety certificates

You need to ensure that gas appliances are working correctly to guard against the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning. Every rental property with a gas appliance, such as a central heating boiler, a gas cooker or a gas fire, requires a Gas Safety Certificate. These certificates can only be issued by a plumber or engineer registered with the Gas Safe Register. Gas Safety Certificates are valid for one year from the date they are issued.

Landlord's Electrical Certificate

Unlike the Gas Safety Certificate, a landlord is not required by law to obtain an Electrical Safety Certificate. However, an electrical inspection is an important part of ensuring the safety of your tenants. If anything does go wrong - it will be helpful in providing proof that you have taken reasonable steps to ensure their safety. Electrical certification should only be performed by an electrician registered with the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installers and Contractors (NICEIC).

PERIODIC INSPECTION REPORT

As a landlord, it is advisable to have a full electrical inspection carried out every five years. This examination checks the safety of the electrical installation and investigates the state of the electrical wiring. Click for full details of our Periodic inspection reports in London.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)

It is also advisable to carry out a PAT test on any electrical appliances in the rented property once a year. Portable electrical appliances are defined as any appliances that you supply with the property that can be plugged into the mains electricity - lamps, microwaves, kettles, LCD TV, for example. This is to ensure that they are electrically safe. Click for full details of our Portable Appliance Testing services in London.
