Landlords Gas Safety Checks in Fremington
Fremington is one of my most local areas. From my Barnstaple base, I can reach the village in ten minutes on a normal day — which means same-day bookings are often possible, certificate turnaround is as fast as it gets, and if a tenant needs something sorted urgently, I'm not coming from far away.
The village and the surrounding area — Yelland, Chivenor, Bickington — have a steady residential rental market. It's a practical location: close enough to Barnstaple for easy commuting, quieter than the town centre, with Fremington Quay on the Taw estuary providing one of North Devon's more appealing recreational spots nearby. The rental properties here are predominantly residential lets — families and individuals who want the proximity to Barnstaple without being in the middle of it.
Every rental property in Fremington with a gas supply is subject to the same legal obligation that applies across the UK: an annual gas safety inspection under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, with a valid CP12 certificate issued and provided to tenants.

Your Legal Obligations as a Landlord in Fremington
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 set out the landlord's duty clearly. An annual gas safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer is mandatory for any rental property with a gas supply. The Regulations cover all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in the property that the landlord is responsible for maintaining — the boiler, gas fires, gas hobs, cookers, and any other connected appliances.
The Health and Safety Executive enforces compliance. Failing to hold a valid certificate is a criminal offence under the Regulations. Penalties include unlimited fines and, in serious cases, imprisonment. The legal duty rests with the landlord personally — not with a letting agent or property management company.
Every engineer carrying out gas safety work for landlords must be registered on the Gas Safe Register. Verify any engineer at gassaferegister.co.uk before accepting a certificate from them.
