What are landlords legally required to do about gas safety in their properties?
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, landlords must ensure all gas appliances, fittings and flues they provide are checked for safety every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer, keep a record of each check, and give a copy to existing tenants within 28 days and to new tenants before they move in. The responsibility — and the legal liability — sits with the landlord.

What does a Gas Safety Certificate inspection actually check?
During the inspection we check that each gas appliance is correctly set and working safely, test gas pressure and the burning of the gas, examine flues and ventilation to confirm products of combustion are safely removed, and check for any safety defects. If something fails, we tell you immediately and explain what’s needed to put it right.

Can you get a Gas Safety Certificate and boiler service done in the same visit?
The annual safety check isn’t the same as a boiler service, but they’re efficient to do together. We can carry out the CP12 and service the boiler in one visit, saving you a second appointment and keeping both your compliance and your boiler’s warranty in order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CP12 / Landlord Gas Safety Certificate?
It's the record of the annual gas safety check the law requires landlords to have carried out on the gas appliances and flues they provide, completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
How often do I need one?
Every 12 months. You must also give tenants a copy within the legal timeframe.
What happens if I don't have one?
Letting without a valid certificate is a breach of the law and can lead to penalties, and may affect your insurance. It also puts tenants at risk.
Do you check every appliance?
We check the gas appliances and flues you provide as landlord. Tenants' own appliances are generally not included, though connections may be checked for safety.
Can you do the certificate and a boiler service together?
Yes — combining them in one visit is efficient and keeps both compliance and warranty in order.
How do I get a gas safety certificate for my boiler?
Book a Gas Safe registered engineer to carry out the inspection. If the appliance passes our checks and leak test, we issue the certificate. For rental properties this is the landlord CP12; for homeowners it is the same check on a voluntary basis.
Can I refuse a gas safety check?
A homeowner is not legally required to have one, though it is strongly recommended for safety. A tenant cannot refuse indefinitely, because landlords have a legal duty to keep gas appliances safe and must be given reasonable access for the annual check.
How long does a gas safety check take?
Usually 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many gas appliances are being inspected.
Do you check radiators during a gas safety check?
A standard gas safety check focuses on gas appliances and the installation itself, so radiators are not usually included unless you have asked us to look at the wider heating system. If a radiator is not heating up, we can handle that as separate radiator work.
How much does a landlord gas safety certificate (CP12) cost in East London?
A landlord CP12 gas safety certificate starts from £49, with the exact price depending on the number of gas appliances at the property. We confirm the cost upfront, and can set up annual renewal reminders so your certificate never lapses.
