Which certificates need recertification reminders?
Start with the three core UK landlord clocks: Gas Safety (CP12) at least every 12 months, EICR commonly every 5 years for private rentals in England, and EPC usually every 10 years.
Add any local licensing renewals, insurance policies, or contractor accreditations that carry an expiry date. One reminder system per document is safer than hoping a shared spreadsheet stays current.
Why does recertification get missed?
Each certificate type uses a different interval. A Gas Safety anniversary feels urgent every year; an EPC feels distant until the day you need to re-let and discover it expired three years ago.
Recertification reminders turn those different clocks into timed email alerts — 30, 7 and 1 day before expiry — so booking the engineer or assessor happens while there is still margin.
How does Certs Reminder handle recertification dates?
Upload Gas Safety, EICR, EPC or any other expiring document. We store the PDF, read the dates where possible, and send reminder emails before each certificate lapses.
Upload the certificate and the recertification reminder schedule starts from the dates we extract.
Frequently asked questions
What are recertification reminders?
Email alerts before a certificate or licence must be renewed. For UK landlords that usually means Gas Safety, EICR and EPC dates, plus any other documents with an expiry.
Which UK landlord certificates need recertification most often?
Gas Safety at least every 12 months, EICR commonly every 5 years, and EPC usually every 10 years. They are the three dates most often missed because the cycles differ.
Can one tool remind me about all certificate renewals?
Yes. Certs Reminder stores multiple certificate types in one account and sends separate recertification reminders for each expiry date you upload.
When do recertification reminder emails send?
Certs Reminder emails you 30, 7 and 1 day before each certificate expires, plus a notice if a document has already lapsed.
Is Certs Reminder only for landlords?
It is built for UK landlords first, but anyone with expiring documents — insurance, licences, passports — can use the same upload-and-remind workflow.
