Gas Safety Certificate Distribution in London
Gas Safety Certificate Distribution in London is important for the health and safety of all properties. Within London, including within the M25 and Central London area, issuing a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) has become legally important regarding all kinds of domestic and commercial gas appliances. Any properties in London, including rented properties, are to be tested every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer, who is additionally responsible for issuing a Gas Safety Certificate once the appliance is clear of leaks and defects. The Gas Safety Certificate Distribution in London is documented proof that all appliances in your London property are safe to use; and a copy will need to be given from a landlord to their tenant(s) within 28 days of being issued. Failure to produce a valid Gas Safety Certificate can result in prosecution and invalidate property insurance; therefore it can mean that you are liable for potential civil claims.
