Letting in Craigavon: the practical points
For landlords in Craigavon, the practical points are the universal ones: annual check, Gas Safe engineer, tenant copies on time. Keep the record where you can produce it quickly — for your agent, your insurer, or Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council if the property is licensed or ever inspected. Certificates that can't be found cause almost as much trouble as certificates that were never done.
The inspection
What the engineer actually checks
The inspection covers three layers: the supply (a tightness test from the meter), the appliances (combustion, pressure, safety devices, ventilation — tested with each appliance running), and the flues (visual condition plus confirmation that combustion gases discharge safely outside). An appliance the tenant owns isn't yours to certify, but pipework serving it is, and it stays in scope. The signed record closes the visit.
Credentials
Who you're letting in
The credential that matters here is a live Gas Safe registration covering the appliance types in your property — it's what makes the certificate legally worth the paper. We verify it, along with insurance, before a booking is confirmed. No invented review scores on this page; the register is public, and checking it beats any star rating.
The law
The rules behind the certificate
Legally, three things are required of you: a check of every appliance and flue at intervals of no more than 12 months, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer; a record of that check retained for at least two years; and copies to tenants — within 28 days for existing tenants, before move-in for new ones. The regulations apply UK-wide, and the HSE treats non-compliance as a criminal matter with unlimited fines available.
Landlords must have every gas appliance and flue they provide checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer at least every 12 months, keep the record for two years, give tenants a copy within 28 days of the check, and give new tenants a copy before they move in.
Equivalent annual duty applies in Northern Ireland; engineers must be Gas Safe registered.
Penalties stated are statutory maximums or court-set; Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is the local housing authority for Craigavon.
Pricing
What a CP12 costs
CP12 pricing is driven by time on site: how many appliances there are, how accessible they are, and whether you combine the check with a boiler service while the engineer is there. Distance and short-notice bookings can add to it. Treat the range shown as guidance for budgeting; the actual price is confirmed up front, not after the visit.
FAQ
Before you book: quick answers
How long does a gas safety check take?
Typically around 30 to 60 minutes for a property with a boiler and one or two additional gas appliances. More appliances, or access issues, extend the visit.
Who can carry out a gas safety check in Craigavon?
Only an engineer on the Gas Safe Register may legally carry out landlord gas safety checks anywhere in the UK, including Craigavon. Always ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card — you can verify it on the official register.
Are the gas rules different for an HMO in Craigavon?
The annual check itself is the same, but HMO licensing (administered by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council) usually requires you to provide the current gas safety record with your licence application and on request. Check your licence conditions for any extra record-keeping duties.
How often does a landlord need a gas safety check?
Every 12 months. You can arrange the renewal check any time in the two months before the current record expires and keep the original expiry date — the MOT-style rule — so booking early never shortens your certificate.
Do tenants' own gas appliances need to be on my record?
Appliances owned by the tenant are not the landlord's responsibility to check, but the pipework serving them is, and any flue serving a tenant appliance that you own must be included. Note the division of responsibility in your tenancy agreement.
