Overview
Gas Safety Certificates and Full Landlord Services in Edinburgh
A Gas Safety Certificate, often called a CP12, is the annual record confirming that every gas appliance, pipe, and flue in your rental property is safe. It is a legal requirement for landlords across the UK. Our Gas Safe registered engineers carry out the inspection and email the certificate to you on the day. Beyond the CP12, we handle the full landlord compliance picture. PAT testing, legionella risk assessments, smoke and heat alarm installations to current Scottish regulations, and reactive repairs when something goes wrong. One supplier, one point of contact, one annual visit where possible. We work with private landlords, portfolio landlords, and letting agents across Edinburgh. Free key collection from letting agents, direct tenant liaison for access, and a free annual reminder service so renewals never get missed.

Why Replace
Our Annual Reminder Service
The single biggest pain point for landlords is keeping track of renewal dates across multiple properties and multiple certificate types. Gas safety, PAT, legionella, and alarms all run on different cycles. Our annual reminder service handles every renewal date for you, free with every landlord account.
30-Day Advance Reminders
Email reminders sent 30 days before any certificate is due to expire, giving you plenty of time to schedule the renewal and stay compliant.
Covers All Compliance Types
Tracks gas safety certificates, PAT testing, and legionella risk assessments across every property in your portfolio, in one place.
Direct Tenant & Agent Coordination
We contact your tenants or letting agent directly to arrange access. You stay out of the diary management and the appointment chasing entirely.
Included Free With Every Account
The reminder service is free for every landlord we work with. Whether you let one property or fifty, you are covered.
