Ensuring your gas appliances are safe is a legal requirement for landlords and a vital safety measure for all homeowners. Innovation NW - Plumbing and Gas Safe Engineers provides comprehensive Gas Safety Certificate services throughout Darwen, Blackburn, Lancashire, and the North West.

‍

Legal Requirements for Landlords

Annual CP12 Certificates

‍Landlords must have gas appliances, flues, and pipework checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We provide the legally required Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) that proves your property meets safety standards.

Tenant Safety

‍A valid Gas Safety Certificate protects your tenants from carbon monoxide poisoning and other gas-related hazards. It's not just a legal obligation – it's essential for tenant safety and your peace of mind.

Record Keeping

‍We provide you with the official certificate that must be given to tenants within 28 days of the check, or before they move into the property.

‍

Beyond Landlord Requirements

Homeowner Peace of Mind

‍Even if you're not legally required to have a Gas Safety Certificate, regular checks provide valuable peace of mind that your family is safe from gas hazards.

Insurance Requirements

‍Some insurance policies require evidence of regular gas safety checks. Our certificates provide the documentation you need.
