Certificate for Carbon Monoxide alarm...

[mutley racers]

A client of mine has asked me to install one for his letting property and asked if I could write him a certificate. I didn't know you needed a certificate for them? The estate say they will do him one for £120?

Neither did I. I know the new CP12 forms have a section for noting if there is an in date carbon monoxide detector and if it is working. So maybe just do him a CP12?

I think they are mistaken but as above a cp12.

Is carbon monoxide alarm present ?
Is it tested and working ?

2 questions on my software may cover it ???

Do you use a tin of CO spray to test em ?

Landlords must put in smoke alarms by law but not a carbon monoxide alarm.

Until the 1st of October and then you will legally require one

I have been asked to install the smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm but how do I give a certificate for the smoke alarm? Just put it on a cp12? Or does he need to get someone else in for that.

Only in rooms where a solid fuel appliance is. Except for Jockland. They need them for natural gas appliances as well.

Kewtech FIR CERT Fire Certificate

I’d say smoke/fire alarm/detector certification is a job for a sparkie.

There is currently no requirement for smoke or CO alarms for Landlords. As of October 1st, landlords will be required to install a smoke alarm for every floor of the building and have some sort of record showing regular testing. As of 1st October landlords will only require a CO alarm rooms with a solid fuel burning appliance. If installed, this will also need some sort record showing regular testing.
