Gas safety certificates for landlords and agents

Annual gas safety checks for rented homes and holiday lets across East Devon and West Dorset. One booking covers all your properties, and we'll remind you when each one is due.

What the law asks of you

Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, if you let a property with gas appliances you must:

  • have every gas appliance, fitting and flue you provide checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer at least every 12 months
  • give existing tenants a copy of the record within 28 days of the check, and new tenants a copy before they move in
  • keep each record for at least two years

This applies to holiday lets as well as long-term lets. You can have the check done up to two months before the deadline and keep the original renewal date, so there's no penalty for booking early.

This is a summary, not legal advice. Your letting agent or the HSE website can confirm what applies to your property.

How it works with Eziflow

One booking for every property

Send us the list of addresses in one go. We'll group visits by area so properties near each other are done together where the diary allows.

We arrange access with tenants

Give us the tenant's name and number and we'll agree a time with them directly, then confirm with you. For holiday lets, we can work around changeover days.

Reminders before they're due

We keep a record of every certificate and remind you ahead of the renewal date, so nothing lapses.

Common questions

What happens if an appliance fails the check?

The engineer will explain what they found and what it means. If something is unsafe, they'll follow the Gas Industry Unsafe Situations Procedure, which can mean turning it off until it's repaired. You'll get a quote for any repair before work goes ahead.

Can you do the boiler service at the same visit?

Yes. A combined service and gas safety check takes about 1.5 hours and saves a second visit for your tenant.

Do you work with letting agents?

Yes. We can send certificates to you and your agent, and agents can book on behalf of the landlords they manage.

Which areas do you cover?

East Devon, West Dorset and South Somerset. See areas we cover.

Got several properties due?
