Landlord gas certificates are of course a legal obligation. But there are many other reasons to get a landlord gas certificate from a reputable engineer.

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations of 1998 established the rules for the safety of installations and appliances in the UK. They apply to both natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
The regulations apply to all installations. They require an annual gas safety certificate by a competent person and there are no exceptions made.

Landlord gas safety certificate law in London
A landlord has a general duty to ensure the property they rent out is fit for purpose. This includes ensuring their property is gas safety checked annually.
The law extends the definition of the tenant to any person occupying a property under a contract. Hence it even applies to domestic staff with a right to sleepover.
A landlord, and any other person has a common law duty to take reasonable care not to cause harm to another. Hence a rented property must be safe and in good working order.
This principle kicks in whenever a person undertakes an activity which could reasonably harm someone else either physically, mentally or economically.
This burden of duty extends to taking reasonable steps to ensure a gas installation on a tenanted property is safe. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations of 1998 prescribe a valid gas safety certificate as the bare minimum.
Therefore not having this certificate when something goes wrong with the gas makes a compelling argument the landlord was negligent.
UK law is very clear on what happens next. If the affected tenant can prove the landlord failed in their duty to care, or breached their obligations under the regulations then they could be fully entitled to sue for all their damages.
Having a valid gas safety certificate may provide a sufficient defence all things being equal.

FAQs
A gas safety certificate confirms that the system, and any connected appliances are working at the right operating pressure. It will also state that the appliances are burning correctly because there is adequate air supply.
With this in mind, a basic gas safe inspection does not include pipework and vents, although these should ideally be inspected at the same time.
A gas safety certificate is an official government document that only a person listed on the Gas Safe Register may sign off. You may hear gas engineers referring to it as a ‘CP-12’. This name is just an echo from the past when CORGI was the controlling body for UK gas safety, and they used a form numbered 12 for the purpose.
The Gas Safe Register enables a consumer to check whether their gas engineer is competent to sign a ‘CP-12’ under the law. The register enables consumers to search for service providers, and verify they and their engineers are compliant – which we are.
Always ask to see a gas engineer’s gas register card before allowing them onto the premises. The photo identifies them and confirms the start and expiry dates of their registration.
The other side confirms the scope of work they are qualified to do, including whether they have the authority to issue a gas safety certificate in London.
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) (Amendment) Regulations of 2018 came into force on 6 April and simplified the process slightly.
It takes a more flexible line by allowing landlords to arrange their safety checks in the final two months of expiry of the current one. This eliminates the last-minute scramble that made the old regulation seem unnecessarily onerous.
A landlord’s gas safety certificate in London is technically similar to a standard one because it also calls for flues and appliances to be inspected.
However in this case tenants have a right to their own copies within 28 days of completion. Moreover, a landlord must provide copies to new tenants before taking occupation.
Failing to have a valid gas safety certificate in London, or failure to provide them are serious breaches of the letter and the spirit of the law. Especially since these certificates contain the results of all previous inspections too.
In our experience, responsible landlords welcome the peace of mind these documents provide. Completing the process should be simple after you find a registered gas engineer in your area of London.
