Provide the rental address or postcode, the appliances involved and the existing renewal date when you enquire. If a letting agent or tenant will provide access, make that arrangement clear from the start.
How Jake can help
- Landlord gas safety check enquiries
- Planning access with landlords, agents and key holders
- Discussing servicing or remedial work as a separate requirement
Keep checks and maintenance distinct
HSE guidance explains that relevant landlord-provided gas appliances and flues need annual safety checks by an appropriately registered engineer. The record documents the check; maintenance and repairs may also be required.
A boiler service and a landlord gas safety check are different tasks. If both are needed, request both so Jake can discuss the appointment and scope together.
Arrange access before the deadline
Tell Jake the renewal date and any tenancy changeover. HSE says existing tenants should receive the record within 28 days of the check and new tenants before moving in.
If problems are found, further action may be needed. A safety check is not a promise of a fault-free record, and repairs should be discussed according to the findings.
What to include in your enquiry
- Property postcode and full appliance list
- Current record and renewal date
- Landlord/agent contact and agreed access arrangements
- Whether boiler servicing is also requested
Your questions answered
Is a CP12 a boiler service?
No. Ask for both if you need both; they have different purposes.
Can an agent arrange access?
Explain who is coordinating the job and confirm that a tenant or key holder can provide access.
Can you guarantee the property will pass?
No. The check records the findings. Any defects and required action depend on the actual installation.
