What Is a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?

A Gas Safety Certificate, also known as a CP12, is an official record proving that your gas appliances have been checked and declared safe by a registered engineer.
This certificate is a legal requirement for landlords and an essential safety check for homeowners and commercial property owners.

During our inspection, our engineers carefully assess:

  • Boilers and heating systems
  • Cookers and gas hobs
  • Gas fires
  • Pipework, valves, and connections
  • Flues and ventilation

After completing the inspection, we’ll issue your Gas Safety Certificate — a document listing each appliance, the results of the checks, the engineer’s details, and any recommendations.

FAQs

A Gas Safety Certificate (often called CP12 or a gas safety record) is the formal document issued after a qualified engineer has tested your gas appliances, pipework, flues and safety controls, confirming they are safe. Landlords in the UK are legally required to have one annually for properties they let. Homeowners may not be legally required, but it’s strongly advisable to ensure safety.

A valid certificate lasts 12 months from the date of inspection. After that you’ll need another inspection and new certificate to remain compliant and safe.

Yes — you can schedule your inspection up to two months before the expiry of the current certificate and still retain the original 12-month renewal date. This avoids overlapping certificates.

Only a Gas Safe registered engineer is legally allowed to inspect and certify gas appliances in Great Britain. Be sure to check their Gas Safe ID card and registration number.

Yes. Each property must have its own Gas Safety Certificate. Even if you own several homes in the SS postcode area, each one must be inspected and certified independently.

The engineer must inspect all gas appliances, flues, pipework and controls that the landlord provides: boilers, gas fires, cookers, hobs, water heaters, and associated safety devices.

Yes — landlords must give existing tenants a copy within 28 days of the inspection. New tenants should receive a copy before they move in.

If issues are found, the engineer will note them on the record and may mark appliances as “failed” or “unsafe”. Work must be carried out to fix the faults (by a qualified engineer) before those appliances can be used safely or legally certified.

Failing to comply can lead to fines, prosecutions, invalidated insurance, and serious safety risks to occupants. Landlords have been prosecuted for neglecting annual gas safety checks.

No — as a landlord, you cannot transfer the legal responsibility for annual gas safety inspections to a tenant. You remain accountable even if a tenant refuses access; you must take “reasonable steps” to gain entry and comply.

We serve all areas of Southend and surrounding localities—SS1, SS2, SS3, SS9, Westcliff, Leigh, Chalkwell, Shoeburyness, Thorpe Bay, Eastwood, and beyond.

In most cases we issue the completed certificate on the same day via digital delivery. Physical copies can follow if needed.

No — not by law. However, prospective buyers or conveyancers often request a recent certificate to confirm that gas appliances are safe and in working order.

Stop using the appliance, turn off the gas at the meter, ventilate the area (open doors/windows), and call the national gas emergency line: 0800 111 999. Do not attempt repairs yourself — await a qualified engineer.
