Is an HMO gas safety certificate different from a normal CP12?

The certificate is the same. It just covers more appliances, and every tenant should get a copy.

How often does an HMO need a gas safety check?

Once every 12 months. The law is the same as for a single let, so put the renewal date in your diary.

How much is an HMO gas safety certificate in Luton?

It depends on how many gas appliances there are and how many rooms we need to get into. Call 07898 232710 or use our online quote calculator for a clear price.

Do you need to get into every bedroom?

Only rooms with a gas appliance, such as a gas fire. We tell you which rooms before the visit.

Will the council ask for my gas certificate?

Usually, yes, when you apply for or renew an HMO licence. Keep the latest record easy to find.

Does each tenant need a copy?

Yes. Every tenant should get a copy of the latest record. We email it to you so you can pass it on.

What changes is the number of tenants, rooms and appliances.

In a shared house in Bury Park or Leagrave, the hard part is often getting into every room. We contact the tenants, agree a time and check every gas appliance in one visit. Most certificates are sent within 24 to 48 hours.

What Makes HMO Gas Checks Different?

A shared house can have a boiler, a cooker in each shared kitchen and gas fires in some bedrooms. Every one of them goes on the record, along with the flues and pipework.

Some larger HMOs have more than one boiler or gas meter. Our engineer checks the whole property, not only the parts tenants share.

Getting Into Every Room

Gas appliances in tenants' rooms still need checking, so the engineer needs access to them. We contact each tenant, agree a time and can collect keys from your agent.

If a tenant is not in on the day, we let you know and rebook that room. Keep a note of each attempt for your records.

Carbon Monoxide Alarms

In England, rented homes need a carbon monoxide alarm in rooms with a fixed fuel-burning appliance. That includes a boiler or gas fire. Gas cookers are not included.

Our engineer can point out rooms where an alarm seems to be missing, so you can get one fitted.

Booking Your Other HMO Checks

An HMO licence usually needs more than a gas record. You can book the gas check with your EICR, fire risk assessment and emergency lighting test.

One visit means arranging tenant access only once. All your paperwork comes from one team.
