As a landlord, ensuring the safety of your tenants is not just a legal obligation—it’s essential for peace of mind. One of the key responsibilities for landlords in Farnham, Surrey, and Hampshire is arranging an annual Gas Safety Check for any rental property that has gas appliances, including boilers. At Forte Heating Services, we believe summer is the perfect time to get ahead of your compliance requirements. Here’s why.
What is a Landlord Gas Safety Check?
A Gas Safety Check involves inspecting all gas appliances, pipework, flues, and associated safety devices to ensure they are operating safely and efficiently. Once completed, landlords are issued a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), which must be renewed every 12 months and provided to tenants within 28 days of completion.
Why Book in Summer?
- Avoid the Autumn Rush
As the colder months approach, demand for heating engineers skyrockets. By scheduling your Gas Safety Check in summer, you can avoid delays, get flexible appointment times, and ensure your property is compliant well before autumn and winter.
- Prepare for New Tenancies
Summer is a peak season for tenant turnover. Booking a Gas Safety Check now ensures everything is in order before new tenants move in, helping you avoid last-minute compliance headaches or delays.
- Spot Issues Before Heating Season
A summer inspection gives you time to identify and resolve any issues before tenants begin using the heating system heavily. This helps prevent emergency call-outs and keeps your property in top condition.
- Protect Tenant Safety
Carbon monoxide leaks, faulty boilers, or unsafe appliances pose serious risks. A summer check by Forte Heating’s Gas Safe registered engineers ensures all appliances are safe, giving you and your tenants peace of mind.
