Upkeepone is your trusted, friendly, and fully qualified Gas Safe Registered engineers, proudly serving homes and landlords across Basildon and the surrounding Essex area. Whether you need a routine annual check, a landlord’s CP12 certificate, or a one-off inspection for peace of mind, our team can help quickly, safely, and at a fair local price.

What Is a Gas Safety Certificate and Why It Matters

A Gas Safety Certificate, also known as a CP12 certificate, is an official record confirming that your gas appliances, pipework, and flues have been inspected by a qualified Gas Safe engineer and are operating safely.\This inspection isn’t just a formality — it’s a crucial part of keeping your property safe from risks such as gas leaks or carbon monoxide exposure. During the visit, our Basildon engineers check each appliance carefully, ensuring it’s running efficiently, correctly ventilated, and free from leaks or faults.

For landlords, this isn’t just good practice — it’s the law under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Every rental property with gas appliances must have a valid Gas Safety Certificate renewed every 12 months. A copy must be provided to tenants within 28 days of the inspection, and landlords must keep their own copy for two years.

Homeowners aren’t legally required to have one each year, but we strongly recommend it. Annual safety checks give peace of mind that your boiler, cooker, and any other gas appliances are in perfect working order and won’t cause dangerous issues down the line.

FAQs

If you’re a landlord letting a property in Basildon (or nearby Essex), and you provide any gas appliances (boiler, hob, fire, etc.), then yes — you legally need a valid gas safety certificate (often called a CP12) for those appliances. 
Homeowners who live in their own property aren’t legally required to have one annually, but it’s strongly recommended for safety.

Once issued following an inspection by a fully qualified engineer, the certificate remains valid for 12 months. You should arrange the next check before the current one expires. 
Note: Under current regulations you may carry out the next check up to 2 months early and maintain the same expiry date.

As a landlord you must make all reasonable efforts to gain access for the inspection. If a tenant refuses entry you should document attempts (letters, calls) and show you’ve tried.
Failing to do so could leave you guilty of breaching your duties under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.

The inspection typically covers all gas-fired appliances you provide to a tenant: boilers, hobs, ovens, gas fires, heaters. Also the pipework you own, flues and ventilation associated with those appliances. 
If the tenant brings in their own appliance you didn’t provide, your obligation is less, but you still remain responsible for any flue or pipework that you supply.

Cost will vary depending on location, number of appliances, complexity of pipework and flues. National averages are around £60-£100 for a domestic rental property. 
Locally in Basildon you may find competitive pricing — always ask for a clear quote covering all appliances and including the certificate issue.

If an engineer identifies defects (unsafe appliances, leaks, faulty flues) these must be remedied. The certificate will list any issues found and also any appliances that failed the safety check. 
Until those faults are fixed you may not be able to let the property safely, and your insurance or legal compliance may be affected.

It applies universally across England (and the UK) under the law, so yes — everywhere in Basildon and surrounding Essex falls under the same rules. When you search for “gas certificate near me in Basildon” you’re simply finding a local engineer. The legal obligation remains the same no matter the precise local address.

You can use any engineer who is properly registered (on the Gas Safe Register) and competent to inspect the appliances in question. They don’t strictly have to be based in Basildon as long as they serve the area and meet legal/technical requirements. Always check the engineer is registered and experienced in the type of appliance you have.

In most cases a certificate (CP12) is not legally required purely for a sale of a privately owned home you live in. However, having one can reassure potential buyers that gas installations are safe and may help the sale progress more smoothly.

As a landlord you must keep a record of the certificate for at least two years and issue a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the check, or to new tenants before they move in. 
It’s wise to keep both a digital copy and a printed copy stored safely — so you can produce it if asked by inspectors or tenants.
