Hi, I need some advice regarding a failed gas safety certificate on a boiler and the hob on my rental property.
I have Home Serve cover and I organised a British Gas engineer to carry out a gas safety inspection on a property which unfortunately failed.
I have since had the boiler repaired and the hob replaced within 28 days of the gas-safe inspection. I spoke to the British Gas representative to request a re-test. They informed me that if they visit the property again, they will charge me again for a retest gas safety certificate.
However, they advised I do not need to get another gas safety certificate as I am allowed to marry all the documents together to confirm the work has been done.
I have looked online to check if this is the correct advice but I can’t find anything to confirm. Does the marrying of the certificates confirm that the appliances are safe legally for another year and I do not need another gas-safe certificate?
Thanks,
Rashpal

See my full reply on the other forum but I think the answer is yes, you need to give the tenant either a new cp12 or a building regs compliance cert.

As a gas safe engineer, I can confirm a gas cert requiring work to then become safe to use, doesnt need to be redone after the remedial work are completed. You file the work reciepts etc to show all is satisfactory. How ever few underatand this, and insist on a new gas cert. So this is a issue almost forcing a new cert just to pasify those who incorrectly demand one. Even solicitors demand one when its not really needed.
