CP12 gas safety certificates — issued the day we visit.

A Landlord Gas Safety Check (CP12) is your legal proof that gas equipment in a rented property has been safety-checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Landlord obligations — the legal bit

Landlords are responsible for the maintenance and repair of flues, appliances and pipework they own and provide for tenants. By law:

• An annual check must be carried out within 12 months of installation, and every 12 months thereafter
• You must keep a copy of the certificate for two years
• You must give a copy to the current tenant within 28 days
• You must give a copy to any new tenant before they move in

What we check

• Operating pressure and heat input
• Operation of safety device(s)
• Ventilation satisfactory
• Visual condition of flue
• Flue operation checks
• Combustion analyser reading (where applicable)
• CO alarm presence and function
• Gas tightness (the “tightness test”)
• Protective equipotential bonding

You receive the certificate on the day, fully documented to Gas Safe Register requirements.

Homeowner gas safety checks

Even if you're not a landlord, an annual gas safety check on your boiler and any other gas appliances catches issues early and is required to keep most manufacturer warranties valid.
