Landlord Gas Safety Certificate
Every gas appliance needs a Gas Safety Certificate
As a landlord you need a Gas Safety Certificate or CP12 for every gas appliance in your rental property. It’s a legal requirement and each individual certificate has to be renewed every year. Without them you risk a hefty fine, and the appliances may be unsafe for tenants to use.
The good news is that with Jones Heating your Gas Safety Certificates are taken care of – every year.
With 15 years of experience in servicing boilers, we've worked with a broad spectrum of boiler manufacturers, including Baxi, Worcester-Bosch, Vaillant, and Ideal.
What is involved in a Gas Safety check?
An annual Gas Safety check involves the engineer doing the following (where applicable):
- Visually inspecting all the gas appliances
- Inspecting and recording the heat input and gas pressure
- Checking for gas leaks by doing a tightness test at the gas meter
- Visually examine the gas pipework (so far as reasonably practicable)
- Testing the flue gases of the appliances
- Inspecting the flue and ventilation provision and routes
- Testing safety devices
- Checking the operation and suitable location of Carbon Monoxide detectors
After all of these steps have been completed and if the engineer deems everything to be in safe working order, you will be provided with a Gas Certificate.
How much does a Gas Safety check cost?
At Jones Heating we like to be upfront and straightforward with our pricing.
- For a single boiler only a gas safety check is £59.99
- For a single boiler and hob a gas safety check is £64.99
- For a single boiler and cooker a gas safety check is £69.99
- An additional single gas fire safety check is £39.99
- Back Boiler and Fire gas safety check is £94.99
*Discounts are available for multiple properties
We highly recommend having your boiler serviced whilst we're there, it's much cheaper than having it done separately and helps prevent unnecessary break downs.
If you'd like us to perform a standard boiler service at the same time an additional cost of £15 will be added

Gas Safety Check FAQs
Our FAQs section looks to answer any questions you may have about gas safety checks. Should your question still be left unanswered please contact our team.
It's a legal requirement for landlords to renew their Gas Safety Certificates every 12 months.
According to the Gas Safety Regulations, landlords have two months before their current Gas Safety record has expired to renew it. This means that it can be restored anytime during months 11 and 12 of the existing Gas Certificate.
Once the inspection has been completed, the new Gas Safety record will be dated to expire in 12 months from the last day of the previous 'deadline'.
As fully trained heating engineers, we can service boilers from any manufacturer. From Alpha, Baxi and Glow-worm to Vaillant, Vokèra and Viessmann, we have hands-on experience with almost every boiler brand on the market.
The time it takes to do a safety check depends on what appliances you have installed in the property. Typically a safety check takes anything from 30 mins up to 60 minutes.
Really good, came promptly, assessed quoted and arranged a installation within a few hours. Brought electric heaters with him which was a God send. Really impressed.
