Why does a gas safety renewal reminder matter?
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, landlords must arrange an annual gas safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer and keep a record of it. Tenants should receive a copy of the certificate within 28 days of the check (and before they move in for new tenancies).
Missing the anniversary is easy when you manage one property — and almost inevitable when you manage several. A dedicated renewal reminder turns a calendar risk into a simple, predictable task.
What should you track for each property?
For every rental with gas appliances or a gas flue, store: the certificate issue date, the next due date (usually 12 months later), the engineer / Gas Safe ID, and a copy of the PDF. When Certs Reminder launches, those fields will sit in one place with alerts before expiry.
Until then, note the due date in a place you will actually see — and join the waitlist if you want automated reminders when the product opens.
How will Certs Reminder help with gas safety dates?
Certs Reminder is being built so UK landlords can store Gas Safety, EICR and EPC dates together and get warned before anything expires. These guides are live now; the reminder product is coming next.
Frequently asked questions
How often must a landlord renew a gas safety certificate?
At least every 12 months. The check must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and tenants must receive a copy of the record.
What is a CP12?
CP12 is the common name for the landlord gas safety record produced after the annual check. The legal requirement is the annual check and record — not the nickname itself.
When should I set a renewal reminder?
Set reminders at least 30 days before expiry so you can book a Gas Safe engineer. Extra alerts at 7 days and 1 day help if the booking slips.
