Annual landlord gas safety check
What the engineer checks
A landlord gas safety check covers the gas appliances and flues that the landlord provides at the property. The engineer must be Gas Safe registered and qualified for the appliance and work involved.
Appliance operating pressure or heat input where appropriate
Safe operation of the appliance and its safety devices
Flue flow and products of combustion where relevant
Suitable ventilation for safe appliance operation
Visible signs of unsafe installation or condition
Details required for the Landlord Gas Safety Record
The exact checks depend on the appliances at the property. Tell us about boilers, fires, hobs and any LPG appliances before the visit so we can confirm the right engineer and scope.
The record landlords need
Certificate, CP12 or Gas Safety Record?
People still search for a landlord gas safety certificate or CP12. The document is now properly called a Landlord Gas Safety Record. It records the property, appliances checked, results, defects and the engineer's details.
Under current HSE guidance, landlord-provided gas appliances and flues need an annual safety check. Existing tenants must receive a copy of the record within 28 days, while new tenants must receive one before moving in. The landlord retains the records for at least two years.
You can normally arrange the next check during the final two months before the existing deadline and retain the original renewal date. That gives landlords and agents a practical window for coordinating access without slowly bringing the renewal earlier every year.
Two different jobs
Gas safety check or boiler service?
A Landlord Gas Safety Record confirms the results of the safety checks required for the appliances and flues covered. A boiler service is maintenance carried out to the boiler manufacturer's instructions. One does not automatically replace the other.
Check and gas boiler service
If the gas boiler also needs its annual service, select both on the form. Our gas boiler service in Lincoln includes the maintenance and service record for the boiler, while the landlord check produces the separate safety record.
Access and safety findings
Make the appointment easier for everyone
A clear access plan prevents wasted visits and awkward phone calls from the doorstep. Tell us whether the property is occupied, who will let the engineer in, and whether the tenant has agreed to share their contact details.
Before the engineer arrives
Please make sure the boiler, gas meter, controls and all other landlord-provided gas appliances can be reached. If there is a current record, manufacturer paperwork or a known fault, have the details ready.
For managed properties, tell us whether the agent, landlord or tenant should receive appointment updates. We will only use tenant details supplied for arranging the visit.
If a defect is found
The engineer will explain what has failed the safety check and any immediate action needed to keep people safe. A check is not an open-ended repair appointment, so parts and additional work are discussed separately.
If the appliance already has a fault, tell us before booking. That may need a separate boiler repair visit in Lincoln rather than extra work being squeezed into a certificate appointment.

Frequently asked questions
Landlord gas safety certificate FAQs
How much is a landlord gas safety certificate in Lincoln?
The price depends on the number and type of landlord-provided gas appliances at the property and whether you also need a boiler service. Send us those details and we will confirm the price before the appointment.
How often does a landlord need a gas safety check?
Landlord-provided gas appliances and flues must normally be checked every 12 months by a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. HSE guidance also allows checks in the final two months before the deadline while retaining the existing renewal date.
Is a CP12 the same as a Landlord Gas Safety Record?
CP12 is an older name that people still use for the document. HSE calls the current document a Landlord Gas Safety Record.
Is a landlord gas safety check the same as a boiler service?
No. A gas safety check assesses the safety of the landlord-provided gas appliances and flues covered by the visit. A boiler service is maintenance carried out to the boiler manufacturer's instructions. They can be requested for the same visit, but they are different jobs.
Who can issue a landlord gas safety record?
The check must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is qualified for the appliance and work involved. You can check the engineer's Gas Safe ID card for the relevant categories.
What happens if the engineer finds a gas safety fault?
The engineer will explain the finding and any immediate safety action. Repair work is separate from the safety check unless it has been agreed, and chargeable work will be discussed before it is carried out.
When must tenants receive the gas safety record?
HSE guidance says existing tenants must receive a copy within 28 days of the check and new tenants must receive one before they move in. Landlords must retain copies for at least two years.
