Is a Gas Safety Certificate a Legal Requirement in Havering?
Yes, for every Havering landlord who provides gas appliances. Regulation 36 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 requires landlords to arrange an annual safety check of the gas appliances and flues they provide for tenants. Havering's borough wide additional HMO scheme and seven ward selective scheme both started on 18 March 2026. For many landlords, the gas record now forms part of the licence evidence.
Who Can Issue One and How to Check the Engineer
Only a Gas Safe registered engineer can issue the record. Check the engineer's registration on the Gas Safe Register before work starts. You can also check ALC's Gas Safe registration details before booking the inspection. This gives you a direct way to confirm the engineer handling your gas safety check.

A Gas Safe registered engineer checks landlord-provided appliances, flues, ventilation, safety controls and combustion readings. Installation pipework has a separate maintenance duty.
Covered by the gas safety check
NOT covered by the annual check
If the Engineer Finds a Defect
If the engineer finds a fault, they record it as immediately dangerous or at risk. With your permission, they can disconnect an unsafe appliance. The gas safety record is issued with details of the defect. Any repair work is quoted separately.
Pipework and Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Installation pipework falls outside the annual gas safety check, but it still needs ongoing maintenance. ALC carries out a tightness test and visual check as good practice. A CO alarm is required in a room used as living accommodation with a fixed combustion appliance, except a gas cooker, under SI 2022/707 from 1 October 2022.
