Gas Safety Week 2025 takes place between 8th – 14th September, and this year’s theme is “Looking after your home, friends, and family.” At [Your Letting Agency Name], we’re proud to support this national campaign, helping landlords across Cardiff and South Wales stay compliant while protecting their tenants.
For landlords, gas safety isn’t just about best practice – it’s the law. Failing to comply with regulations can result in hefty fines, prosecution, and most importantly, putting your tenants’ lives at risk.
Unsafe or poorly maintained gas appliances can cause:
Gas leaks
Fires or explosions
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning
Carbon monoxide is particularly dangerous because it’s invisible, odourless, and tasteless – meaning tenants may not realise they’re in danger until it’s too late.
As a landlord in Cardiff, it’s your legal responsibility to make sure all gas appliances, pipework, and flues in your rental properties are safe.
If you let property in Cardiff or the surrounding areas, you must:
Arrange an annual Gas Safety Check on all gas appliances and flues.
Provide tenants with a Gas Safety Record within 28 days of the check.
Keep records for at least two years.
Use a Gas Safe registered engineer (always check their ID card).
Fit and test carbon monoxide alarms in every habitable room with a gas appliance (excluding those solely used for cooking).
Remove or replace unsafe appliances – even if they were left by a previous tenant.
Remember: tenants can report landlords who fail to provide a valid Gas Safety Certificate to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Many landlords find keeping on top of compliance time-consuming – especially if they manage multiple properties. That’s where a trusted Cardiff letting agent can make all the difference.
At [Your Letting Agency Name], we:
Arrange annual Gas Safety Inspections with local Gas Safe registered engineers.
Ensure tenants receive the required documentation within legal timeframes.
Keep detailed compliance records for landlords’ peace of mind.
Advise on CO alarm installation and testing.
Provide full property management, making sure every safety regulation is met.
By partnering with an experienced letting agent in Cardiff, you can be confident your properties remain legally compliant, safe, and attractive to tenants.
Gas Safety Week is a reminder that landlords play a vital role in keeping tenants safe. This year, the campaign highlights that gas safety is about more than compliance – it’s about protecting families, friends, and communities.
If you’re a landlord in Cardiff, Newport, Penarth, or the surrounding areas, don’t leave gas safety to chance. Make sure your properties are protected, your tenants are safe, and your legal responsibilities are fully met.
