Landlord certificate inspections
Gas safety certificates are a legal necessity for a property with a gas supply and are rented out. The gas safety certificate is also known as a CP12 or a landlord certificate, it must be completed by an engineer who is registered as Gas Safe. The team at Boiler Sure has the credentials needed along with years of experience. We are available in central Scotland to carry out the required inspection and provide the certificate and report.
Why is a gas safety certificate needed?
A landlord certificate proves that the gas appliances inside a rented property are safe and being used for the purposes they were meant for. With a yearly check by a professional gas engineer, tenants know that the appliances provided are up to standard. The certificate also gives landlords documentation to show that everything in the property was safe to use at the time of the inspection.

What happens if a problem is discovered?
During a gas safety inspection, every gas appliance in the rented space is checked. That includes the boiler, fire, oven, and hob if they are gas-powered. Our engineers are looking at the safety of each appliance along with the ventilation. We make sure that each thing is correctly located and is being used in the approved way. If we find that any appliances are not safe to use, then this will be recorded on the paperwork. It should not be used by anyone until it is put right. This will protect the landlord’s property and the tenant.
Our team is available for landlord certificates in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fife, Falkirk, and Stirling. Why not get your boiler serviced at the same time?
