Every rented property with a gas appliance needs a gas safety check every twelve months, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, with a copy given to the tenant within 28 days and to any new tenant before they move in. That is the law, and it is the one certificate a letting agent will ask for before anything else.

Kenilworth rental stock is more varied than people expect. There are Victorian and Edwardian houses around the town centre and Abbey End, a lot of 1930s semis on the Coventry side, post-war housing on the estates, and newer apartments near the station. The age of the property changes what the check actually finds: older houses tend to throw up ventilation and flue issues, while newer flats are usually a straightforward check on a modern combi.

The inspection covers every gas appliance, the pipework and the meter: gas tightness, burner pressure and operation, ventilation, flue performance and the safety devices on each appliance. Anything found is recorded on the certificate as immediately dangerous, at risk or not to current standards, and each of those means something different for what you have to do next.

Where something does need attention, you get told what it is, what it affects and what it takes to put right, before any work happens. Most of what turns up on a landlord check is small - a capped appliance, a ventilation grille that has been painted over, a flue seal - and it is better found in an annual check than by a tenant in January.

Kenilworth is five miles from Coventry, so it is a normal part of the working week rather than a special trip, and certificates can usually be fitted around a tenant's working day.

Landlord Gas Safety Certificates in Coventry, done properly

Plain English on what was found

Immediately dangerous, at risk, or not to current standards - and what each one means for you as the landlord.

Tenant appointments

Repairs quoted separately

Anything needing work is priced on its own so you can decide, rather than being bundled into the check.

Good to know

Landlord Gas Safety Certificates — your questions

How often does a rented property need a gas safety check?

Every twelve months. The certificate goes to the tenant within 28 days, and to a new tenant before they move in.

What happens if an appliance fails?

If something is immediately dangerous it is disconnected with your permission and you are told straight away. At risk items are recorded and should be dealt with quickly. You get the options either way.

Do I need a certificate for an empty property?

The duty applies while it is let. It is still worth checking before a new tenancy starts, because that is when the certificate has to exist.

Is a gas safety check the same as a boiler service?

No. The check is a safety inspection for the certificate. A service is cleaning and maintaining the appliance so it keeps working. They are often done on the same visit, and it is cheaper that way.

Can you check several properties on one visit?

Yes - portfolios in and around Kenilworth are usually easier to do in a block, and it saves everybody time.

Which areas do you cover?

Kenilworth, Coventry, Earlsdon, Tile Hill, Binley and the surrounding CV postcodes.
