A gas boiler service is a comprehensive maintenance procedure carried out by a qualified technician to ensure the safe and efficient functioning of a gas boiler. The service involves a meticulous inspection of various components, including the combustion system, internal parts, and controls. Cleaning and adjustments are made to optimise performance, enhance efficiency, and address any potential issues.

​

For landlords, a crucial aspect of this service is obtaining a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate, also known as a CP12 certificate. This certificate confirms that the gas appliances within a rental property, including the boiler, have undergone a safety check and meet required standards. The Gas Safe registered engineer conducts the service and issues the certificate, providing documented evidence that the property's gas installations are safe for tenants.

The Landlord Gas Safety Certificate is not only a legal requirement but also a fundamental responsibility for ensuring the well-being of tenants. It includes checks for gas leaks, proper ventilation, and the overall safety of the gas appliances. Landlords are typically required to provide tenants with a copy of this certificate within 28 days of the gas safety check, and new tenants should receive it before moving in.

Combining a gas boiler service with the issuance of a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate is a comprehensive approach to fulfilling legal obligations, maintaining the safety of tenants, and ensuring the efficient operation of gas appliances within a rental property. It underscores a commitment to both safety and regulatory compliance in the management of rental properties.
