What is a CP12 Certificate?

A CP12 (also known as a Landlord Gas Safety Record or Gas Safety Certificate) is a legal document that confirms all gas appliances in a rental property have been checked and are safe to use.

We provide CP12 gas safety certificates for landlords and letting agents across Harrow, Stanmore, Watford, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Luton, Dunstable, Berkhamsted and surrounding areas. Annual gas safety inspections are a legal requirement for all rental properties. We issue certificates on completion and can schedule recurring annual visits across multiple properties so you never miss a deadline.

Legal Requirement: As a landlord, you are legally required to have all gas appliances, fittings, and flues in your rental properties checked every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £6,000, imprisonment, or manslaughter charges in serious cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

A CP12 (also called a Gas Safety Record or Landlord Gas Safety Certificate) is the document you receive after a qualified Gas Safe engineer has inspected all the gas appliances and pipework in a rental property and confirmed they are safe. Landlords are legally required to have one.

Our CP12 inspections start from £60. The price can vary slightly depending on the number of gas appliances in the property. We will confirm the exact price when you book.

Every 12 months. It is a legal requirement under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Letting a property without a valid, in-date CP12 is a criminal offence.

Landlords without a valid CP12 can face an unlimited fine and up to six months in prison. You are also required to give a copy of the certificate to your tenants within 28 days of the inspection, and to any new tenant before they move in.

For a typical property with one or two gas appliances, the inspection usually takes around 45 minutes to an hour. We will carry out checks on the boiler, any gas fires, the cooker, and the pipework, then issue the certificate on the day if everything passes.

Gas Safe Register is the official, government-approved list of engineers who are legally allowed to work on gas appliances and installations in the UK. It replaced CORGI in 2009. By law, only a Gas Safe registered engineer can carry out gas work or issue a CP12, so checking registration protects you from unsafe or illegal work.

We cover Harrow, Wembley, Pinner, Stanmore and Kenton as our core North West London area, plus Watford, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Luton and the surrounding areas.
