Gas Safety Certificates in Edinburgh: Your Yearly Peace-of-Mind Pass

As a landlord in our bonnie city, you’ll know that getting a gas safety certificate checked off your list every single year is a must-do before you rent out or even sell your property. Think of it as your annual “all clear" – a guarantee that all the gas appliances in your property are working safely and playing by the rules. It’s not just for the paperwork; it’s for everyone’s peace of mind.

Just a quick heads-up on the different types of gas safety certificates you might need in Edinburgh:

• CP12 – The Home Comfort Hero: This is the one for all you residential landlords out there. If you’ve got a house, flat, or any other home where the gas appliances use up to 20 kilowatts of gas, the CP12 certificate is your go-to.
• CP15 – For the Big Commercial Kit: This certificate looks after commercial buildings with the more powerful gas stuff – anything that uses over 20 kilowatts. Think big boilers, commercial water heaters, and open fires in pubs or restaurants.

And for our commercial landlord friends, you might also need other specific certificates like the Commercial Gas Installation Safety Report (CP17), Commercial Boiler Gas Safety Certificate (CP15 – yes, the same code!), and Commercial Gas Installation Testing and Purging (CP16), depending on what gas wizardry you have on site.

What’s the Damage? Understanding Gas Safety Check Costs in Edinburgh

Generally speaking, getting your gas safety certificate in Edinburgh can cost anywhere from £75. But, like most things, the exact price can wiggle a bit depending on a few factors, like how big your property is, how many gas gadgets you’ve got, whether it’s a home or a business, and where in Edinburgh it’s located.

Think of it this way: checking a wee studio flat with just a boiler is likely to be kinder on your wallet than checking a sprawling family home with a boiler, hob, and fireplace. And if you’ve got a whole array of gas appliances, that might nudge the price up a tad compared to just having one or two.

Here’s a quick peek at the things that can influence the cost of your gas certificate:

• Your Property Type: Is it a home or a commercial space?
• The Size of the Place: Is it a wee one or a biggie?
• How Many Gas Things You Have: Just a couple or a whole fleet?
• Where in Edinburgh It Is: Right in the heart or a bit further out?
• What Gas Appliances You Have: Boiler, oven, hob, fireplace – the whole shebang?

Who Actually Needs to Get Their Gas Safety Certificate Sorted in Edinburgh?
