If there is no gas supply and no gas appliances or flues, a gas safety certificate is usually not required. However, electrical safety duties, appliance maintenance, smoke/CO alarm duties and other property compliance requirements may still apply.

A tenant can raise gas safety concerns during the tenancy. The landlord or managing agent should investigate concerns and arrange appropriate checks where needed, especially if there are signs of unsafe appliance operation, gas smell or carbon monoxide concerns.

Commercial gas safety responsibilities depend on the premises, appliance type, work activity and who controls the gas installation. Where commercial gas appliances are present, checks and records should be arranged through a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.

Landlords must keep gas safety check records for at least 2 years. Existing tenants should receive a copy within 28 days of the check, and new tenants should receive the latest record before moving in.

No. A gas safety certificate records the result of required gas safety checks. A boiler service is maintenance work and may include different checks. Customers should confirm whether servicing is included before booking.

The engineer should record the issue and advise on the required action. Unsafe appliances should not be used until they are made safe by a suitable Gas Safe registered engineer.

No. A gas safety record reflects the checks completed at the time of inspection. It does not guarantee that appliances, flues or pipework will remain safe or fault-free in future.
