If you own or manage commercial premises in London that use gas, you have gas safety duties — and they differ from the domestic landlord requirement. This guide explains what a commercial Gas Safety Certificate covers, who may need one, and how to request a quote through Property Motion.
What Is a Commercial Gas Safety Certificate?
A commercial Gas Safety Certificate records that the gas appliances, pipework and flues on a commercial premises have been inspected and are safe to use. The work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer holding the relevant commercial qualifications — commercial gas work requires different competencies from domestic work. It supports duties under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations and wider health and safety law.
Who May Need a Commercial Gas Safety Certificate?
Businesses, employers and commercial landlords responsible for premises with gas appliances generally have a duty to ensure those appliances are safe and maintained. That typically includes restaurants, cafés, offices with gas heating, and many other commercial settings. Where a landlord lets commercial space, responsibility for the check is usually defined in the lease. (⚠ VERIFY: responsibilities vary by premises and lease — confirm before stating duties as universal.)
Commercial Gas Safety Checks vs Domestic Gas Safety Checks
The principle is the same — confirm appliances are safe — but commercial checks cover different and often larger equipment (commercial catering appliances, larger boilers, plant) and require an engineer registered for those specific appliance types. The scope, time and cost are usually greater than a domestic check.

Types of Commercial Properties Covered
Commercial gas safety can apply across many premises types: hospitality and catering, retail units, offices, mixed-use buildings, and managed commercial portfolios. The exact appliances in scope depend on the premises.
Commercial Gas Safety Certificate Cost Factors
Pricing depends on the number and type of appliances, the size and complexity of the premises, and access. Catering and plant equipment generally takes longer than a single heating appliance. Property Motion keeps pricing transparent with no hidden micro-fees. [CONFIRM PRICE]
