Gas Safety Certificate (Commercial Properties)
Commercial Gas Safety Certificate CP42 from £199
Commercial gas safety certificate legal requirements
As long as you are the lender, your renters’ safety is your responsibility.
because the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 identify landlords’ obligations to guarantee the safety of gas appliances, fixtures, and ventilation systems. The regulation protects both commercial tenants as well as private. Equipment, fixtures, and flues in common areas that renters may use are also included.
You are additionally responsible for the upkeep and repair of exhausts, appliances, and pipework supplied by a Gas Safe registered engineer for your renters’ use. Although there is no time limit to fulfil these responsibilities, the responsible thing would be to carry out regular, yearly maintenance checks and eventual repairs.
Chiefly, landlords are responsible to make sure that a Gas Safe Registered engineer performs an annual gas safety check within one year of installing new equipment or ventilation systems. Regular yearly checks after that are also the responsibility of the landlord. Moreover, he should keep records of the safety check for two years and provide a copy to each current renter within 28 days of the check’s completion and any new residents before they move in.
Furthermore, under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) (Amendment) Regulations 2018, the annual gas safety check on each appliance or flue can be performed up to two months before the inspection date. Still, the original deadline date will be retained as if the check was performed precisely 12 months after the previous check.
