Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (gas certs) in Stoke‑on‑Trent
As a landlord, you must legally arrange an annual gas safety check for all rental properties with gas appliances.
CTR Plumbing & Heating can complete your inspection. If everything is working as it should, we’ll issue a certificate to ensure you’re fully compliant and protecting your tenants.
What a gas safety check covers
During the inspection, our Gas Safe registered engineers will test each gas appliance and flue to make sure:
- They burn gas efficiently and safely
- Gas pressure and flow are correct
- Flues and chimneys are clear and ventilating properly
- Safety devices (like flame failure shut-offs) work as intended
- Adequate air supply is maintained throughout the property

What the Gas Safety Certificate includes
Your Gas Safety Certificate (also known as a Landlord Gas Safety Record or CP12) includes:
- Engineer’s name, Gas Safe ID and signature
- Dates of inspection and next due check
- Property and landlord details
- List of appliances and flues tested
- Notes on any defects or remedial actions needed
Your tenant needs to receive their copy within 28 days. As a landlord, you must retain your records for at least two years.
Why landlords need a Gas Safety Certificate
By law, every rented property containing gas appliances must have a valid certificate. You must provide it:
- Before a new tenant moves in
- To existing tenants within 28 days of the check
- Every 12 months to maintain validity. The inspection can be done up to two months early to keep expiry dates aligned
Failing to comply can result in fines, and even criminal charges. You may also be unable to issue a Section 21 notice for eviction if your Certificate isn’t up to date.
CTR can help make sure you’re fully compliant.
What happens if we find any problems?
If we deem any appliance to be unsafe, our engineer will mark the defect on the certificate and recommend immediate action.
Unsafe equipment will need to be labelled as unsafe until it’s repaired.
As a landlord, you must address these faults swiftly and prevent tenants from using unsafe appliances.

Gas Cert FAQ’s
Yes. If you rent out multiple properties with gas appliances, each one must have its own valid Gas Safety Certificate. They must be issued annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
You’re still legally responsible for arranging the gas safety inspection. Keep records of your attempts to gain access (letters, texts, emails), and show that you’ve made reasonable efforts. You may need to reschedule or seek legal advice if your tenant continually denies access.
Absolutely. In fact, we highly recommend that you do. Most landlords we work with choose to have both done during the same visit. We offer a convenient combined gas safety check and boiler service to save time and ensure everything’s running safely and efficiently.
