Gas Safety Checks & CP12 Certificates in Horsham

Hi, I’m Mike, your trusted Gas Safe registered plumber in Horsham, and I specialize in providing professional Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) services. As a landlord, ensuring the safety of your tenants is your number one priority—and a legal requirement. I’m here to make the process of getting your annual gas safety check reliable and hassle-free.

Why is a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) Essential?

Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, it's a legal responsibility for all landlords to ensure gas appliances, pipework, and flues are safely maintained and checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This isn't just about compliance; it's about protecting your tenants from the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and other gas-related dangers.

My gas safety checks in Horsham provide you with an official CP12 certificate, giving you peace of mind and proof that your property is safe and legally compliant.

What My Gas Safety Check Includes: A Thorough & Professional Inspection

My thorough inspection goes beyond the basic requirements, providing you with complete confidence in your property's gas safety. When I visit your property in Horsham, I perform a series of essential tests and checks to ensure everything is working correctly and safely:

• Initial Tightness & Let-By Test: I begin by performing a crucial tightness test on the whole gas system to check for any leaks in the pipework. This includes a "let-by" test at the meter to ensure the main gas valve is working correctly and no gas is escaping when it's meant to be off.
• Pressure Testing: I'll conduct a standing pressure test at the meter and a working pressure test at both the meter and the boiler. This confirms that the gas supply pressure is correct and sufficient for all your appliances.
• Visual Inspection of the Boiler: I perform a detailed internal and external inspection of the boiler, checking for any signs of corrosion, wear, or damage that could compromise its safety.
• Gas Pipework Inspection: I'll visually inspect the gas pipework throughout the property, as far as is reasonably practicable, to check for any signs of damage or poor installation.
• Flue Gas Analysis: A key part of my service is a flue gas analysis test. This uses a specialized analyser to check the boiler's combustion, ensuring it is burning gas efficiently and, most importantly, not producing dangerous levels of carbon monoxide (CO).
• Cooker and Hob Safety: For gas cookers and hobs, I will check the safety requirements, including the stability of the appliance, the functionality of the burner and igniter, and the integrity of the pipework connections.
• Carbon Monoxide Sweep Test: I'll perform a sweep test around the boiler casing using a sensitive CO detector to check for any carbon monoxide leakage, ensuring no dangerous fumes are escaping into the property.
• Provide a Detailed Record: After the inspection, I’ll provide you with the official CP12 certificate (the Landlord Gas Safety Record). This document will detail everything I've checked and confirm the property's gas safety status.

With my experience in Horsham plumbing and gas safety, you can count on a reliable, professional, and transparent service that goes the extra mile.
