To be legally safe and protect your tenants, a Gas Safety Certificate (often called a CP12) proves that all the gas appliances in your rented property meet UK standards. Landlords must get one every year.
Don’t put up with fines, problems with getting things done, or anything dangerous happening. KCS Electrics offers dependable Gas Safety inspections throughout London, done by engineers officially registered with the Gas Safe Register.
You can book your inspection now and get your CP12 certificate within 24–48 hours. The whole process is clear, and you’ll get a good report.
What is a Fire Alarm Certificate? It’s an official record stating that a fire detection and alarm system has been correctly installed, tested, or maintained. It’s for homes and businesses.
When tested, the system is found to ensure alarms sound, detectors respond to smoke or heat, and the entire system functions as expected. This covers the control panel, the sounders, and how well the system performs as a whole.
Afterward, you’ll receive a fire alarm test or service certificate (depending on what was done), confirming that your system is safe and ready to use.
Whilst there isn’t one specific legal document for fire alarms like there is for gas safety, landlords must have suitable fire detection. This is covered by housing and fire safety laws, notably the Housing Act 2004 and advice in BS 5839.
In reality, landlords are expected to have a fire alarm certificate to show that systems have been correctly installed and checked, especially in Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and rentals where the fire risk is greater.
If systems aren’t maintained or tested, landlords could face enforcement, be held legally responsible, and there’s a very serious risk to safety. Testing and maintaining fire alarms regularly helps you meet the rules and safeguard your tenants.
We carefully test your system to be certain it’s doing what it should.
The inspection covers:
We use professional equipment for accurate fire alarm checks and to spot issues that might not be obvious. You’ll get your fire alarm test certificate after the test, indicating whether the system is safe or if any repairs are needed.
The price depends on the size of the property, the type of system in place, and the number of detectors. Bigger or more complicated systems need more thorough testing. We give clear, custom quotes for your property, meaning you only pay for what you need.
Once the testing is finished, the fire alarm certificate London landlords depend on is issued quickly. Most reports are emailed to you within 24 to 48 hours, so you can stay within the rules without waiting.
