Frequently Asked Questions

Below is a list of answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12):

A Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), is a manuscript that justified the safety of gas appliances and flues on a property. It is issued to landlords after a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer conducts an inspection and confirms that the gas installations and appliances meet the required safety standards.

  • No, a gas safety check is not a gas service or maintenance visit.

  • A gas safety check focuses on ensuring the safety of gas appliances and installations, including checking for gas leaks, proper ventilation, and correct operation of safety devices.
  • On the other hand, a gas service or maintenance visit involves thorough cleaning, maintenance, and performance checks of the appliances.

The Landlord Gas Safety Certificate must be renewed annually. A new inspection and certification should be conducted within 12 months of the previous certificate's expiration date.

The Gas Safety Certificate covers all gas appliances, pipework, fittings, flues and ducts within the property. This includes gas boilers, cookers, fires, water heaters, and any other gas appliances.
