For landlords in London and across the UK, ensuring gas safety isn’t optional—it’s a legal obligation. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, all landlords must use Gas Safe registered businesses to carry out gas-related work on rental properties.
Fraser Bond helps landlords stay compliant with the law and avoid the serious consequences of using unregistered services.
A Gas Safe registered business employs qualified engineers who are trained and legally certified to work on gas appliances and systems. Registration with the official Gas Safe Register confirms that the business:
Has passed rigorous assessments
Employs engineers who hold individual Gas Safe licences
Follows safety protocols set by UK gas safety law
You can verify registration at www.gassaferegister.co.uk using a business name or registration number.
Landlords are legally responsible for ensuring all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in their properties are:
Maintained in a safe condition
Inspected annually
Serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer
Using an unregistered business, even unknowingly, is a breach of the law and can result in:
Criminal prosecution
Fines or imprisonment
Invalidated insurance
Liability in the event of injury or death
Fraser Bond recommends these best practices:
Always Check the Register
Before scheduling work, confirm the business’s registration via the Gas Safe Register website.
Ask to See ID Cards
Each engineer must carry a Gas Safe ID card detailing the types of gas work they are qualified to perform.
Keep a Record
Maintain copies of CP12 certificates and records of any repairs or installations conducted.
