What Is a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?
A Gas Safety Certificate—commonly called a CP12—is an official record proving that your gas appliances and pipework have been professionally checked and are safe to use. It’s not just a box-ticking exercise; it’s an essential part of maintaining a safe, efficient home.
Only Gas Safe registered engineers (like ours!) can legally carry out this inspection and issue the certificate. The check includes testing all gas appliances—boilers, cookers, hobs, and fires—as well as the flue and visible pipework for leaks or faults.
If everything’s safe, you’ll receive a signed CP12 certificate valid for 12 months.
Who Needs a Gas Safety Certificate in Rochford?
If you’re a landlord renting out property in Rochford or nearby areas such as Hockley, Ashingdon, or Rayleigh, you’re legally required under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 to:
- Arrange a gas safety check every 12 months.
- Provide tenants with a copy of the latest CP12 within 28 days of the check.
- Give new tenants a valid certificate before they move in.
Even if you’re a homeowner, we recommend having a gas safety inspection each year. Regular checks can prevent dangerous leaks, improve boiler efficiency, and catch problems early—saving you money and worry in the long run.
What Our Gas Safety Checks Include
When you book with Upkeepone, one of our fully qualified engineers will carry out a thorough inspection that covers:
- Boiler testing – Flue, combustion, pressure, and ventilation.
- Cooker/hob checks – Stability, ignition, and flame colour.
- Gas fire safety – Ventilation, flue integrity, and carbon monoxide risk.
- Pipework inspection – Leak detection and tightness testing.
- Flue and chimney tests – Ensuring all fumes safely vent outdoors.
Once complete, you’ll receive your digital CP12 certificate right away, showing all results, appliance locations, the engineer’s credentials, and any recommendations.

Why Gas Safety Matters
Gas appliances that aren’t checked regularly can become dangerous over time. Leaks, carbon monoxide build-up, and poor ventilation are all potential risks. A yearly Gas Safety Certificate isn’t just about compliance—it’s about protecting lives.
Common warning signs include:
- Yellow or lazy flames instead of blue.
- Soot or scorch marks around appliances.
- Excess condensation on windows near gas equipment.
- Headaches or nausea when heating is on (possible carbon monoxide).
If you ever suspect a gas leak, call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately. Then contact us for professional inspection and repair.
