Local CP12 Gas Safety Checks for Landlords

A CP12 certificate, also called a Landlord Gas Safety Record, is the document issued after a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer checks the gas appliances and gas system in a rental property.

For landlords, this is not optional. If you provide gas appliances in a rented home, they must be checked every year by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The record helps show that the appliances, flues and pipework have been checked for safe use.

Safe Homes Gas Solutions provides CP12 checks for:

  • Private landlords
  • Letting agents
  • Property managers
  • Rental homes
  • Flats and apartments
  • Houses in multiple occupation
  • Student lets
  • Pre-tenancy checks
  • Annual renewals
  • End-of-tenancy gas safety checks

What Does a CP12 Certificate Include?

A CP12 certificate records the result of a landlord gas safety check. It confirms which gas appliances and flues were inspected and whether they were safe at the time of the check. A CP12 may include:
  • Property address
  • Landlord or agent details
  • Engineer details
  • Gas Safe registration details
  • Date of inspection
  • Appliances checked
  • Flues checked
  • Safety test results
  • Defects found
  • Remedial action needed
  • Confirmation of safe or unsafe status
  • Next check due date
If an appliance is unsafe, the engineer will explain the issue and what needs to happen next.

What Appliances Are Checked During a Landlord Gas Safety Inspection?

If a tenant owns their own gas appliance, the landlord may still have duties around connected flues, pipework and safety. We can explain what applies during the visit.
  • Gas boilers
  • Gas cookers
  • Gas hobs
  • Gas fires
  • Gas water heaters
  • Flues
  • Chimneys linked to gas appliances
  • Visible gas pipework
  • Appliance connections
  • Ventilation
  • Safety devices
  • Gas pressure checks where required
Preventive checks can help spot problems before they become more serious.

Why Landlords Need a CP12 Certificate

A CP12 certificate helps protect tenants, landlords and rental properties. Gas appliances can become unsafe if they are poorly installed, badly maintained, blocked, damaged or not checked regularly.

A landlord gas safety check helps with:

  • Legal compliance
  • Tenant safety
  • Carbon monoxide risk reduction
  • Early fault detection
  • Safer boilers and gas appliances
  • Better rental property records
  • Letting agent requirements
  • New tenancy preparation
  • Peace of mind before renewal
Gas safety is not only about paperwork. It is about making sure tenants are not placed at risk from unsafe appliances, flues or gas pipework.

CP12 Certificate for New Tenancies

If a new tenant is moving in, the gas safety record must be ready before the tenancy starts. This is especially important when a property has been empty, refurbished or recently changed tenants.

Safe Homes Gas Solutions can help with pre-tenancy gas safety checks for:

  • New rental properties
  • Tenant changeovers
  • Student lets
  • Buy-to-let homes
  • Letting agent handovers
  • Properties after renovation
  • Homes with new gas appliances
  • Homes where an appliance has been removed
  • Properties with previous tenant-owned appliances
Before a new tenant moves in, it is also sensible to check whether any gas appliance, pipework or flue has been tampered with or left unsafe.

What Does a CP12 Certificate Include?

A CP12 certificate records the result of a landlord gas safety check. It confirms which gas appliances and flues were inspected and whether they were safe at the time of the check. A CP12 may include:
  • Property address
  • Landlord or agent details
  • Engineer details
  • Gas Safe registration details
  • Date of inspection
  • Appliances checked
  • Flues checked
  • Safety test results
  • Defects found
  • Remedial action needed
  • Confirmation of safe or unsafe status
  • Next check due date
If an appliance is unsafe, the engineer will explain the issue and what needs to happen next.

Annual CP12 Renewal and Reminder Support

A landlord gas safety certificate must be renewed every 12 months. Missing the renewal date can cause legal and tenant safety problems.

Safe Homes Gas Solutions helps landlords stay organised with annual CP12 checks and reminder support.

We can help you manage:

  • Annual CP12 renewals
  • Multiple rental properties
  • Letting agent bookings
  • Tenant access arrangements
  • Renewal due dates
  • Follow-up repair work
  • Certificate records
  • Pre-winter boiler checks
  • Boiler servicing alongside CP12 checks
  • Call 0800 111 999 if you smell gas
A CP12 check can usually be arranged before the deadline. This helps landlords avoid last-minute problems with tenant access or repair work.

CP12 Certificate and Boiler Service – What Is the Difference?

A CP12 gas safety check and a boiler service are not the same.

A CP12 gas safety check focuses on safety and legal compliance. It checks whether gas appliances, flues and related gas fittings are safe to use at the time of inspection.

A boiler service is a more detailed maintenance check focused on the condition, performance and reliability of the boiler. It may include cleaning, performance checks and advice to reduce breakdown risk.

Many landlords arrange both together because it saves time and helps keep the boiler safer, cleaner and more reliable.

What Happens If a CP12 Check Fails?

A CP12 check can identify defects. If an appliance or gas fitting is unsafe, it may need to be repaired, isolated or replaced before it can be used again.

If a fault is found, we explain:

  • What appliance or part is affected
  • Whether the issue is unsafe
  • Whether the appliance must be turned off
  • What repair work may be needed
  • Whether a follow-up visit is required
  • What should be done before tenants use the appliance again
Do not ignore a failed gas safety check. If an appliance has been turned off because it is unsafe, it must not be used until a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer has dealt with the issue.

CP12 Checks for Letting Agents and Property Managers

Safe Homes Gas Solutions works with landlords, letting agents and property managers across Derby and nearby areas.

We understand that rental property checks need to be simple, organised and clear. We can help coordinate CP12 checks for one property or several properties.

We support letting agents with:

  • Annual landlord gas safety checks
  • Tenant access appointments
  • Certificate records
  • Multiple property bookings
  • Failed check advice
  • Follow-up boiler repairs
  • Gas cooker and hob checks
  • Emergency gas support
  • Pre-tenancy safety checks
  • Renewal reminders
Our aim is to make gas safety checks easier for busy landlords and agents.

What To Do If a Tenant Refuses Access

Sometimes tenants delay or refuse access for a gas safety check. Landlords should keep clear records of attempts to arrange the inspection.
  • Contact the tenant early
  • Offer reasonable appointment times
  • Confirm the request in writing
  • Keep copies of messages
  • Explain that the check is for tenant safety
  • Give enough notice where possible
  • Work with your letting agent if one is involved
  • Rebook quickly if the tenant misses the appointment
If access becomes difficult, keep evidence of your attempts and seek proper landlord guidance. The legal duty still sits with the landlord, so it is important to act early.

What If You Smell Gas at a Rental Property?

A gas smell must be treated as an emergency.

If you, your tenant or your agent smells gas:

  • Open doors and windows
  • Turn off the gas at the meter if safe
  • Do not smoke
  • Do not use naked flames
  • Do not turn electrical switches on or off
  • Leave the property if needed
  • Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999
After the emergency service has made the property safe, Safe Homes Gas Solutions can help with gas escape finding, emergency gas escape repairs and follow-up gas safety work.
