GAS SAFETY CERTIFICATE
If you have working gas appliances in the property, providing your tenants with a Gas Safety Certificate is a legal requirement. The certificate needs to be renewed each year with an annual inspection.
If you don’t currently possess a valid certificate, Upad will send a fully qualified and registered engineer around to check that your appliances meet recognised safety standards, and then issue you one, wherever you are in the UK.
Instructing a gas safety inspection online is very easy, however If you'd like any further advice, or you’d like to instruct the job over the phone, call our team on 0333 240 1220 and we'll get it moving for you.
Arranging a Gas safety inspection and certificate through Upad is simple. You’re already most of the way there. Our national network of registered engineers can usually be at the property the next day. Once you instruct the service, our local engineer will be in touch to arrange access, generally next day.

Staff Top Tip — Simon says:
“Get a Gas Safety Certificate: apart from being a legal requirement, it’s good to make sure all your gas appliances are working properly. If you don’t have a certificate and there are safety issues identified, the repercussions can be severe. It isn’t worth cutting this corner.”
- We’ll send you an invoice outlining your Gas Inspection purchase for your tax records.
- Upad will instruct our Gas Safe registered engineer to contact you to fix an appointment for your inspection. The inspection normally takes about half an hour but it depends on how many appliances your property has.
- We will issue your certificate and keep a record on file for you should you ever need it.
- If there are any problems identified at the property, the engineer will give you a no obligation quote to carry out the work for you while they’re on-site. This will be billed separately to you. No works will be carried out without your permission and a full explanation of any problems will be given.
Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns. You can reach us on 0333 240 1220 7 days a week (local call rate, even from mobile).
Staff Top Tip — George says:
“Before agreeing to take the tenant on, get as much information from them as you can. Although you should reference them, you can always get a feeling about what sort of person they are, by speaking to them, and finding out more about them.”
