7 Simple Tricks To Rocking Your Gas Safe Milton Keynes
Why Landlords Need a Gas Safety Certificate
Every landlord is required to ensure that their properties have an authentic Gas Safety Certificate. This certificate shows that an engineer has examined the safety of all gas appliances and flues inside the premises.
All Gas Safe engineers carry a identity card with a photo, which you should ask to see before any work is done at your property. The card demonstrates that the engineer is a member of the Gas Safe Register.
Safety Certificates
Gas safety certificates, sometimes referred to by the abbreviation CP12 are official documents that verify the safety of your gas appliances. Gas safe registered engineers have to issue the certificate. It is a legal requirement for hotel owners, landlords, and B&B owners. It is also recommended that homeowners get a gas safety test performed annually by a licensed tradesperson in order to avoid dangerous accidents.
The CP12 can be used to verify the quality of all gas appliances and equipment that are on your property by a skilled and certified engineer. They will scrutinize the data to determine if the system is functioning correctly and in accordance with the required safety protocols. They will also examine chimneys and flues to make sure they are safe.
The engineer will then correct the issue and record it on the CP12. They will then issue a revised version of the certificate, which will confirm that the gas equipment is safe for use.
Landlords are legally required to arrange annual inspections of their non-domestic property' gas appliances and flues, as per The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to follow the rules could result in heavy fines or penalties.
During the inspection the engineer will conduct a test on all appliances within the house and also their connections and flues. They will also assess the condition of the pipework and any other gas-related installations, such as the boiler. They will also note the findings on the CP12 which must be given to tenants within 28-days of the inspection.

Carbon Monoxide Leaks
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a dangerous gas that can be released from defective gas appliances. It is odorless, colourless and tasteless, and can cause poisoning in people who breathe it. It can affect blood and the brain. The most effective method of detecting the presence of a CO leak is to use an audible alarm or a carbon monoxide detector. Gas Safe registered engineers can also check your gas appliances and flues regularly.
A carbon monoxide leak has been discovered at an elementary school in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. Just after 13:00 BST the emergency services were called at Martins Wood primary school in Mildmay road. Firefighters, police and the East of England Ambulance Service were present at the scene. South Central Ambulance Service treated an injured woman on the scene for suspected carbon monoxide intoxication.
If you suspect a CO leak in your home, you need to get outside and switch off all gas appliances as soon as you can. You should also call your gas provider and ask them to isolate the gas supply at the meter. It is also recommended to open all windows and doors to let the air ventilate.
