Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) in Liverpool & Merseyside: Compliant, Documented, On Time

The landlord's duty covers appliances and flues the landlord owns and provides. Where a tenant has brought their own gas appliance, the appliance itself is not the landlord's, but the installation and the flue serving it remain within scope, and in practice it is worth having the whole picture recorded so there is no ambiguity later. We identify every gas appliance on site at the inspection and record what was and was not within scope, so the file is unambiguous.

HMOs and multi-occupancy buildings need more care. There may be a communal boiler plus individual appliances, several kitchens with separate cookers and hobs, and access to arrange with multiple occupants. We plan those inspections as a single coordinated visit wherever access allows, and record each appliance individually so the documentation shows exactly what was inspected in which part of the building.

Timing and record-keeping are where landlords most often come unstuck. The record lasts twelve months from inspection. Existing tenants must receive a copy within 28 days, and new tenants at the start of the tenancy. Where an inspection is done slightly early, the renewal date can be maintained rather than drifting forward each year. We keep your inspection dates and prompt you ahead of expiry, which removes the single most common cause of an accidental breach.

Where a defect is found, speed matters more than in an owner-occupied property, because a tenant is living with it. We classify the fault, explain it to you and to the tenant in plain terms, and give you a fixed repair price straight away. Where an appliance has to be turned off, we make sure the tenant understands what is affected and what happens next, and we prioritise getting them back to normal, including immediate boiler installation from £1,299 fully fitted where the appliance is beyond repair.
