What Exactly is a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) for Chorley Landlords?

Simply put, a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is a legal document confirming that all gas appliances and flues in your rented Chorley property have been checked by a qualified engineer and are safe to use. This includes boilers, gas fires, and cookers. A Gas Safe registered engineer, like our team, will carry out thorough checks, looking for any issues that could lead to dangerous gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning. Once everything passes, we issue the certificate, which you then need to provide to your tenants within 28 days of the check, or before they move in. It’s a yearly requirement that truly makes a difference.
