Gas Safety Certificates
A Gas Safety Certificate (often called a CP12 in the UK) is an official document issued after a qualified engineer checks gas appliances, fittings, and flues in a property to ensure they are safe to use.
It’s carried out by a registered engineer (listed on the Gas Safe Register) and covers items like boilers, gas fires, and cookers. The inspection looks for gas leaks, proper ventilation, correct operating pressure, and that harmful emissions like carbon monoxide are within safe limits.
For landlords, it’s a legal requirement to have a valid Gas Safety Certificate for any rental property, and it must be renewed every 12 months. A copy must be given to tenants within 28 days of the check (or before they move in).
The purpose is to protect occupants from serious risks such as gas leaks, fires, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning, ensuring that all gas systems are working safely and efficiently.
Who needs one?
In the UK, Gas Safety Certificates are a legal requirement for landlords who rent out residential properties. This includes private landlords, housing associations, and local authorities. If a property has any gas appliances—such as a boiler, gas hob, or fire—the landlord must arrange an annual safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer. They’re responsible for ensuring all appliances, pipework, and flues provided for tenant use are safe, and for keeping records of these checks. Even if the tenant owns their own gas appliance, the landlord is still responsible for the pipework and flue connected to it.
Businesses and commercial property owners may also need gas safety checks if they use gas appliances on their premises. While the exact certification format can differ from domestic CP12 certificates, employers have a legal duty under health and safety law to maintain gas equipment in a safe condition. This applies to places like restaurants, offices, shops, and industrial units. Regular inspections help ensure the safety of staff and customers, reduce the risk of carbon monoxide exposure, and demonstrate compliance with workplace safety regulations.

Electrical Safety / EICR
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), often referred to as an Electrical Safety Certificate, is a detailed assessment of a property’s electrical system. It is carried out by a qualified electrician who inspects the fixed wiring, consumer unit (fuse board), sockets, switches, and other electrical installations to ensure they are safe and compliant with current UK regulations.
The purpose of an EICR is to identify any damage, deterioration, defects, or outdated components that could pose a risk. Each issue is given a classification code (such as C1 for immediate danger or C2 for potentially dangerous), and the report will confirm whether the installation is “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory.” This allows property owners to take the necessary steps to keep occupants safe and avoid potential hazards like electric shocks or electrical fires.
Who needs one?
In the UK, landlords are legally required to have a valid EICR for their rental properties, with inspections carried out at least every 5 years (or sooner if recommended). A copy must be provided to tenants and, if requested, to the local authority. This ensures rental properties meet safety standards and helps protect tenants from electrical risks.
Homeowners are not legally obligated to have an EICR, but it is highly recommended—particularly when purchasing a property, carrying out renovations, or if the electrics are older. Businesses and commercial property owners also have a duty under health and safety legislation to ensure their electrical systems are safe for employees and customers. Regular EICRs demonstrate compliance, reduce liability, and provide peace of mind.
At Infinity Homes Yorkshire, we make the process simple and reliable. Our qualified electricians carry out thorough inspections with minimal disruption, clearly explaining any findings and next steps. We also provide timely reporting and helpful reminders for future inspections, ensuring you stay compliant without the hassle.
