Why does the annual check need a reminder?
Engineers get booked up, diaries fill, and a single calendar entry is easy to dismiss. A reminder 30 days out is the booking trigger; 7-day and 1-day alerts catch slips before the certificate goes overdue.
What should you do after the annual check is done?
Store the new PDF, give tenants their copy within the required timescale, update the next anniversary, and keep reminders on the new date. Certs Reminder resets that workflow per property.
Frequently asked questions
How often is the landlord gas safety check required?
At least every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer, with a record kept and a copy provided to tenants as required.
When should I book the annual check?
Aim to book around 30 days before the certificate anniversary so a cancelled visit can still be rearranged in time.
Can Certs Reminder remind me each year?
Yes. Free accounts support Gas Safety dates with 30 / 7 / 1 day email reminders and an expired notice if needed.
