Gas Safe Registered 20+ Years Experience Punctuality Guaranteed Up to 10-Year Warranty on New Boilers Service Overview ## What it is. Who it's for. Why it matters. ### What it is A landlord gas safety certificate (CP12) is the legally required annual inspection of every gas appliance, flue and gas pipe in a rented property, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer and documented on an official record. ### Who it's for Every landlord renting out a property with gas appliances, every letting agent managing such properties, and every social or housing-association landlord meeting their statutory compliance. ### When you need it Annually, no later than 12 months from the previous certificate. New tenancies require a valid certificate before the tenant moves in. We prioritise landlord bookings and will fit you in as quickly as the diary allows. ### Why professional matters It's not optional. Renting without a valid CP12 is a criminal offence under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, penalties include unlimited fines and imprisonment. Beyond the legal side, it protects your tenants from CO poisoning and protects you from liability if anything goes wrong. What Happens If You Leave It ## The cost of doing nothing is always higher than acting. ### Criminal liability Renting without a valid CP12 carries unlimited fines and prison time under the 1998 regulations, and voids the Section 21 eviction process. ### Insurance invalidated Most landlord insurance policies are voided by an expired CP12. One incident and you're personally liable. ### Section 21 blocked Without a valid certificate served on the tenant at start of tenancy, you cannot serve a Section 21 notice. Vacant possession becomes a court fight. ### Tenant CO risk An undetected faulty boiler or flue is a serious safety risk to your tenants, and almost always preventable with an annual inspection. Our Process ## A clear, step-by-step system. No surprises, no shortcuts, the same proven workflow on every job. 01 ### Booking & access Tell us the property address, tenancy status and appliances on site. We coordinate access with you or the tenant directly. 02 ### Appliance & flue check Every gas appliance: boiler, hob, oven, gas fire, water heater. Burner pressure, flue flow, ventilation, stability and combustion all checked. 03 ### Gas tightness & pipework Full gas tightness test on the installation, visible pipework inspection, emergency control valve verified. 04 ### Defect logging Any issues classified per Gas Industry Unsafe Situations Procedure, Immediately Dangerous, At Risk or Not To Current Standards. 05 ### Certificate issued promptly Digital CP12 emailed to you (and tenant if requested) once the inspection is complete. Hard copy posted on request. The Benefits ## Why the right engineer changes the outcome. ### Fully compliant Issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer on the official CP12 template, accepted by every UK landlord insurer and tribunal. ### Fast turnaround Certificates typically emailed shortly after the inspection is completed. ### Fixed-price, no surprises One price per property, no extras for multiple appliances or out-of-hours access (within reason). ### Tenant safety verified Every appliance combustion-tested, CO risk identified before it becomes a tragedy. ### Portfolio rates Managing multiple properties? Discounted rates for portfolio landlords and letting agents. ### Service + CP12 combined Bundle the annual boiler service into the same visit and save £30 vs booking separately. The Detail ## What we'd tell a friend before they booked. The CP12 is a strict, legally defined document, it's not a generic 'safety check'. Done properly, it covers every gas-burning appliance in the property plus the gas installation itself, and follows the Gas Safe Register's published inspection schedule. 01 ### What a CP12 inspection actually covers Every gas appliance on the property: combustion performance check, operating pressure, flue flow test, spillage test, stability and ventilation, safety device operation. The gas installation: visible pipework condition, gas tightness test, emergency control valve location and operation. The property: appropriate ventilation, CO alarm presence (now a legal requirement in any room with a fixed combustion appliance), and any unsafe situations classified per the Gas Industry Unsafe Situations Procedure (GIUSP). The certificate records every appliance individually with its make, model, location and inspection result. 02 ### Your legal obligations as a landlord Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 (regulation 36), landlords must: have all gas appliances and flues checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer; keep records of the checks for at least two years; provide a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the check, and to new tenants before they move in. Since 2022, a CO alarm is required in any room containing a fixed combustion appliance (not just solid-fuel). Failure to comply is a criminal offence, and it invalidates your right to serve a Section 21 notice. 03 ### Single property vs portfolio landlords We handle single-property landlords, accidental landlords (one inherited or rented-out home), professional portfolio landlords and managed letting agents. Portfolio clients get discounted per-property rates, scheduled annual reminders, direct invoicing, and digital certificate delivery to both landlord and agent. Letting agencies across East London and Essex use us as their default CP12 supplier specifically because we don't miss appointments and certificates are turned around quickly. 04 ### What happens if a defect is found Defects are classified per GIUSP into three categories: Immediately Dangerous (appliance disconnected at source with tenant's consent, repair required before reuse), At Risk (warning notice issued, appliance can remain in use with tenant aware), or Not to Current Standards (advisory only, no immediate action). If a defect is found we'll explain it in plain English, quote the repair on the spot and, wherever possible, fix it the same day so the certificate can be issued straight away. No upselling, no scare tactics. Pricing ## Priced from, fixed in writing before we arrive. Indicative starting prices for landlord gas safety.
