A legal requirement for every rented property, renewed every 12 months. Our Gas Safe registered engineers carry out your CP12 inspection and issue your certificate the same day.
A gas safety inspection is a routine legal check, not an emergency repair. If a boiler has actually broken down, no heating, no hot water, or a fault, head to our boiler breakdown and repair page instead for faster help.
More than just paperwork. Here's what a CP12 actually protects, and why it's not optional for landlords.
Landlords must have a valid CP12 for every rented property, renewed every 12 months, by law.
Checks every appliance and all pipework for leaks, faulty flues and other hazards that put tenants at risk.
Failing to provide a valid certificate can mean fines, prosecution, or an invalidated landlord insurance policy.
You'll need a valid, in-date gas safety certificate on file to serve a Section 21 notice.
Not a legal requirement for your own home, but a straightforward way to check everything's safe.
Most inspections take well under an hour, with your certificate issued the same day.
A full inspection covering everything connected to the gas supply, not just a quick glance at the boiler.
The boiler, cooker, hob, gas fire, and anything else in the property connected to the gas supply.
All gas pipework and connections throughout the property checked for leaks and correct fitting.
Confirms fumes are being safely vented and rooms are properly ventilated, a key part of the inspection.
All safety cut-offs and controls on each appliance are tested to confirm they're working correctly.
Your CP12 is issued on the day, ready to give to tenants or keep on file, with an emailed copy on request.
