As a landlord in Fleet, Hampshire, you have a legal duty to ensure your rental property is safe for your tenants. One of the most important aspects of this is keeping your Gas Safety Certificate (also known as a CP12) up to date. Without it, you could face serious fines — and more importantly, put your tenants’ safety at risk.
At The Hart Heating Company, we help landlords in Fleet and across Hampshire stay compliant with fast, affordable Gas Safety Checks carried out by fully qualified Gas Safe registered engineers.
What Is a Gas Safety Certificate and Why Is It Important?
A Gas Safety Certificate is a legal document that confirms all gas appliances, fittings, and flues in your rental property have been inspected and deemed safe to use.
If any issues are found during inspection, we can advise on necessary actions and carry out any required remedial work.
The inspection is carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, who will test your boiler, cooker, fire, and pipework for leaks, ventilation issues, and other potential hazards.
Without a valid certificate, you’re breaking the law — and could invalidate your landlord insurance. More importantly, regular gas safety checks help protect your tenants from the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and gas leaks.
How Landlords in Fleet Can Get a Gas Safety Certificate
Getting a Gas Safety Certificate in Fleet is simple when you use a trusted local company like The Hart Heating Company. Here’s what to expect during the process:
Book your inspection – Contact us to schedule a convenient appointment.
Engineer visit – A qualified Gas Safe engineer will inspect all gas appliances, pipework, and flues.
Testing and checks – The engineer tests for leaks, checks ventilation, and ensures everything is operating efficiently.
Receive your certificate – Once the inspection is complete, you’ll receive your Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), valid for 12 months.
We can also service your boiler during the same visit to save time and ensure your system is working at peak efficiency.
How Often Does a Gas Safety Certificate Need Renewing?
By law, landlords must renew their Gas Safety Certificate every 12 months. You must also provide a copy of the certificate to your tenants within 28 days of the check, and keep your records for at least two years.
