Gas Safety Certificates in Glasgow

Gas Safety Certs is authorized by the Gas Safe Register for conducting the annual gas safety inspections in domestic, commercial, and built properties on the gas appliances installed therein, across the UK and Ireland, including Glasgow. Gas safe certs is authorized to issue the following basic gas safety certificates to its clients:

•              Landlord Gas Safety Certificate

The landlord gas safety certificate, commonly known as CP12, is the basic document, proving that this property is gas safe and was inspected for gas safety during the last year. This certificate is valid for one year and needs to be renewed on an annual basis. This can be done before the expiry of the current certificate, preferably during the last two months of the validity of the current certificate.

The landlords are legally required to provide this certificate to the tenants within 28 days after the date of inspection. Gas safety certs can help you fulfill this obligation by sending our engineer to your property for inspection, just within 48 hours of the placement of the order by you. The landlords may have to face legal proceedings in the absence of this important document.

•              Commercial Gas Safety Certificate

The commercial gas safety certificate is for commercial properties where gas is used. It is proof that the property is gas-safe. This certificate is valid for one year and needs renewal on an annual basis. It is a legal requirement under the gas safety regulations of 1998.

Failure to fulfill this requirement may attract legal proceedings, which may involve penalties or imprisonment, or both, especially in the event of an unfortunate gas accident on the property. The insurance company can also reject your compensation in the absence of a gas safety certificate.

There is no concept of a grace period, as your property needs to have a valid gas safety certificate all the time, ensuring that your property is gas safe. However, there is a way for you to get some extra time to avoid any complications. You can arrange an annual gas safety inspection anytime during the last two months prior to the expiry of the current certificate. This way, you can get a kind of grace period because the new certificate will take effect only after the expiry of the current certificate.
