Gas safety is a vital way of protecting against the dangers of a faulty or non-compliant gas installation. If you’re a landlord of a tenanted residential or commercial property, then you’re legally required to renew your gas safety certificate each year. While this certificate isn’t legally required for homeowners, it is highly recommended. In each case, only Gas Safe-registered engineers are qualified to carry out these gas safety checks for you.
We can arrange a certified gas safety check for domestic and commercial properties at short notice. Book with us for the following gas safety certificates:
CP12 – Homeowner / Landlord Gas Safety Record
CP17 – Gas Installation Safety Report (non-domestic)
CP42 – Commercial Catering Inspection Record
Landlords are legally responsible for the gas installation they provide to tenants, including gas appliances, the condition of the flue, and the property’s gas supply pipes. A gas safety check is the only way to ensure these comply with UK gas safety regulations, and landlords must provide tenants with a copy of the certificate within 28 days.
Homeowners don’t have the same obligation to get a gas safety certificate, but they should still arrange a safety check annually to minimise risk. Carbon monoxide kills around 30 people in England and Wales each year, with hundreds more hospitalised. This toxic gas is invisible and odourless, so faulty gas appliances can kill without any sign of imminent danger.
Your gas certificate confirms:
If there’s an issue with your gas appliance or flue, some service providers will declare it unsafe, decommission it, and then leave the repairs to someone else. You might also have to pay for a separate gas safety certificate once the repairs are done.
Our experts work differently. We can usually carry out the repairs right away at the half-hourly rate (one-hour minimum) and issue a new certificate once the installation is made safe.
For residential properties, we perform the standard safety checks on gas meters, gas boilers, cookers, hobs, fires, and any other appliance connected to a gas supply pipe required by a CP12. We then go a step further by providing an extra five checks on your gas boiler. These will help to identify problems early on and reduce the chance of a breakdown.
We’ll check:

Arrived on time (after calling beforehand) and serviced our gas fire. He explained a couple of helpful things I didn’t know and left me with a signed gas safety record. I feel much happier the fire has been properly serviced and wouldn’t hesitate to use Aspect again.

When I complain I complain. When I praise I praise... So I just want you to know that I was very happy with today's visit from Rafal your gas engineer. He was polite, extremely quick in resolving the problem and explained things very clearly. I felt confident in him and hope that he'll be able to attend to any future works we do with Aspect.

You may find it most convenient to arrange for a combined boiler service and Gas Safety Record (CP12). This way, you don’t have to book two visits. We’ll service your boiler in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines to satisfy these conditions and ensure your warranty stays valid.
Servicing works as a general health check of your boiler, while the gas safety certificate confirms there’s no risk of an explosion, safety devices are working correctly, and that all harmful gases are being vented out safely.
A gas safety certificate costs £105.00 ex VAT, while a combined gas safety certificate and boiler service costs £190.00 ex VAT.
You may need a Gas Safety Record quickly, such as if you have tenants about to move in or if you’re about to sell your house. We’re able to offer a priority attendance service to inspect your appliances within one hour of your booking, which will help to keep the rest of your plans running on schedule.
It’s against the law for anyone not on the Gas Safe register to issue a gas safety certificate. At Aspect, we’re fully registered to do just that. Our engineers carry Gas Safe ID cards to show their industry knowledge, and they’re able to check and test all types of gas appliances. We’re also members of the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) and guarantee all workmanship for up to 12 months.
As an appliance or boiler burns gas, it produces carbon monoxide (CO). This invisible gas is highly toxic, so it needs to be vented away from your property via the flue. Our gas engineers can easily detect it using a device, and they’ll be quick to say if your flue isn’t venting as it should. CO can’t be detected otherwise, so it’s worth booking an engineer each year to carry out the proper checks and issue the proper gas certificate.
We recommend you familiarise yourself with the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning by visiting the Gas Safe Register’s website.
We issue gas safety certificates in Central London and all of the London boroughs. We also cover much of the Home Counties, including Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Essex, Surrey and Sussex.
