Housing associations, managing agents and inspection companies working in Leicester run gas safety programmes under England's regulatory framework. Here's what applies, how often it's due, and how local providers manage it with Kaarr.
Across Great Britain, landlords must have every gas appliance and flue checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, keep records for two years, and give tenants a copy.
Missing the CP12 is one of the most heavily penalised failures in housing compliance, and unsafe gas kills. Access is the hard part at portfolio scale: the process lives or dies on chasing appointments, no-access procedures and certificate collection.
Leicester is in England, so the governing framework is: Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Across Great Britain, landlords must have every gas appliance and flue checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, keep records for two years, and give tenants a copy.
Only if your in-house engineers are Gas Safe registered — registration is a legal requirement for any gas work, and no software changes that. Kaarr digitises everything around the check: scheduling, access, the CP12 record and resident copies.
A landlord gas safety check is a strict annual legal requirement, with the record (CP12) given to tenants within 28 days. Checks may be done in the 10–12 month window while preserving the expiry date. Only Gas Safe registered engineers can do this work — Kaarr manages the workflow, scheduling and certificates around your engineers or contractors; the app cannot replace the registration.
