The rules that apply in Belfast

Running gas safety across a Belfast portfolio

Missing the CP12 is one of the most heavily penalised failures in housing compliance, and unsafe gas kills. Access is the hard part at portfolio scale: the process lives or dies on chasing appointments, no-access procedures and certificate collection.

With Kaarr, Belfast providers get

  • Annual CP12 schedule with the 10–12 month MOT-style window handled correctly
  • No-access workflows: evidence every attempt for enforcement protection
  • Certificates captured from your Gas Safe engineers or contractors and issued to residents automatically
  • Expiry dashboards: never let a certificate lapse across the portfolio

Common questions in Belfast

Which rules govern gas safety inspections in Belfast?

Belfast is in Northern Ireland, so the governing framework is: Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (NI) 2004. Northern Ireland applies equivalent duties under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (NI) 2004, enforced by HSENI, with the same annual check by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Can we do gas safety checks in-house?

Only if your in-house engineers are Gas Safe registered — registration is a legal requirement for any gas work, and no software changes that. Kaarr digitises everything around the check: scheduling, access, the CP12 record and resident copies.

Frequency
Every 12 months (statutory)

A landlord gas safety check is a strict annual legal requirement, with the record (CP12) given to tenants within 28 days. Checks may be done in the 10–12 month window while preserving the expiry date. Only Gas Safe registered engineers can do this work — Kaarr manages the workflow, scheduling and certificates around your engineers or contractors; the app cannot replace the registration.
