Why Planned Maintenance Matters for Rental Properties
Heating and plumbing equipment is easy to overlook when everything appears to be working normally. However, a planned approach to maintenance can help landlords identify developing issues, organise appointments and keep records of work carried out.
The requirements of each property will differ, but there are several practical considerations worth including in a maintenance plan.
- Keep Boiler Servicing on Schedule
Follow the manufacturer's guidance and keep a record of all servicing. - Keep Gas Safety Records Organised
Arrange annual checks and retain the required documentation. - Respond Promptly to Heating & Plumbing Problems
Deal with heating and plumbing problems quickly to minimise disruption. - Maintain Useful Property Records
Keep service reports, safety certificates and repair details in one place.
Understanding Landlord Gas Safety Responsibilities
Gas safety is an important part of managing residential rental accommodation.
In England, landlords must arrange the applicable gas safety checks for gas appliances and flues they provide for tenants. These checks must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer at the required intervals.
Landlords also have responsibilities concerning maintenance, record keeping and providing tenants with the relevant gas safety documentation.
For the requirements that apply to your circumstances, consult the official guidance from the Health and Safety Executive.
What Is a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate?
The document commonly called a landlord gas safety certificate or CP12 is a record of the gas safety check carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
It records the appliances and flues checked, the date of the inspection, relevant engineer details and any safety-related defects or remedial action recorded.
It is important to distinguish between a gas safety check and a boiler service. They are not interchangeable: a service and a landlord gas safety check have different purposes, even when they are arranged at the same visit.
Our dedicated landlord gas safety page explains the service in more detail.
Landlord Boiler Cover & Ongoing Maintenance
Unexpected heating problems can create inconvenience for tenants and additional work for landlords. Depending on the fault, repairs may also involve costs that are difficult to plan for in advance.
An ongoing maintenance arrangement may help eligible landlords manage specified servicing and repair requirements under an agreed set of terms.
LandlordCare has its own dedicated page, where you can review the available plan, included services, eligibility criteria and exclusions.
Before taking out cover, check:
- Which boiler and heating components are eligible.
- Whether an initial system check is required.
- Which servicing and safety checks are included.
- What parts, labour and repair work are covered.
- Whether pre-existing faults or particular types of damage are excluded.
- Any limits, conditions or requirements that apply when requesting assistance.
Do not assume every fault, appliance or property is covered automatically. The agreement determines the services and repairs included.
Heating & Plumbing Support for Rental Properties
A rental property's heating and plumbing systems work together, but faults can originate in different places.
For example, a boiler fault may affect both heating and hot water. A cold radiator may relate to a valve, circulation issue or another part of the central heating system. A leaking tap or damaged pipe may require a separate plumbing repair.
Identifying the nature of the problem helps establish which service is appropriate.
BoilerCare Cover's dedicated landlord heating and plumbing page provides more information about the support available for these issues.

FAQs About Landlord Services
What landlord services does BoilerCare Cover offer?
BoilerCare Cover's landlord service section includes landlord gas safety checks and certificates, boiler servicing, heating and plumbing support, and LandlordCare boiler cover. Availability and eligibility depend on the service and the property.
How often do landlords need a gas safety check?
Where the landlord gas safety regulations apply, the required checks must be carried out every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer. There are specific rules concerning records and the provision of copies to tenants. Consult the Health and Safety Executive's current guidance for the requirements that apply to your property.
Is a landlord gas safety check the same as a boiler service?
No. A landlord gas safety check assesses the relevant gas appliances and flues for safety and results in a gas safety record. Boiler servicing follows the applicable service requirements for the boiler. They serve different purposes, although both may be arranged during the same visit if the work is agreed.
What is a CP12 certificate?
CP12 is a commonly used term for a landlord gas safety certificate or record. It documents the gas safety check undertaken by a Gas Safe registered engineer and records the relevant findings.
Do landlords need to provide tenants with a gas safety record?
Where the regulations apply, landlords must provide a copy of the relevant gas safety record to existing tenants within 28 days of the check and to new tenants before they move in. Landlords should also retain records for the required period. Check the current HSE guidance for details.
Does LandlordCare cover every boiler repair?
No cover should be assumed to include every fault or repair. The applicable LandlordCare agreement sets out the eligible equipment, included work, exclusions, limits and other conditions. Review these details before taking out a plan.
Is LandlordCare an insurance policy?
No. LandlordCare is a service and maintenance agreement, not an insurance policy. The services and repairs included are governed by the relevant agreement and its terms.
Can I arrange boiler servicing and a gas safety check together?
It may be possible to arrange both during the same visit, subject to availability and the work agreed. However, the two services have different purposes, so make sure both are specifically requested and confirmed.
What should I do if my tenant reports a heating breakdown?
Ask for a clear description of the symptoms and whether heating, hot water or both are affected. Arrange appropriate assistance based on the circumstances. If there is an immediate safety risk, such as a suspected gas leak, follow the relevant emergency guidance rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
