What it is
What a landlord gas safety certificate covers
A landlord gas safety certificate — commonly called a CP12 — is the record of an annual safety check on the gas appliances, fittings and flues in a rented property. It has to be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, it has to be done every twelve months, and a copy has to go to your tenants. It is a legal duty on the landlord, not on the tenant and not on the agent.
The check itself covers each gas appliance in the property: that it is burning correctly, that the flue is removing combustion products safely, that ventilation is adequate, that the gas installation is sound and tight, and that safety devices operate as they should. Appliances found unsafe are recorded and, where necessary, disconnected or capped with your agreement, with the reason explained clearly.
We charge a flat £60 + VAT for a landlord gas safety certificate in the Peterborough area, and we issue the paperwork promptly rather than making you chase it a fortnight later. Access arrangements with tenants are handled sensibly — a lot of our landlord work is repeat business precisely because it does not create hassle.
A certificate is a safety check, not a service. Many landlords book both on the same visit: the CP12 at £60 + VAT and a boiler service at £80 + VAT, which keeps the appliance maintained and its manufacturer warranty valid at the same time as satisfying the legal duty.
Who this is for
-
Private landlords
One property or a small portfolio, with a compliance date to hit every twelve months and no desire to spend a week chasing engineers.
-
Letting agents
Reliable turnaround and prompt paperwork on managed properties, with sensible tenant access arrangements.
-
New landlords
First tenancy starting and no valid certificate for the property yet — this has to be in place before the tenants move in.
-
HMO and multi-let owners
Multiple appliances in one property, each of which has to be checked and recorded on the certificate.
-
Owners capping unused supplies
Old gas fires and disused supplies that need capping off correctly so they do not become a problem at inspection.
What happens if it waits
Letting a certificate lapse is not a paperwork problem
The gas safety check exists because faulty appliances kill people. The legal consequences for a landlord are serious, but the reason the duty exists at all is the risk sitting in the property while it is ignored.
Legal exposure
Failing to hold a valid annual gas safety record is a breach of a landlord's duties, with enforcement action and penalties attached.
Insurance complications
Insurers ask about compliance after an incident. A missing or out-of-date certificate is exactly the sort of gap that gets a claim questioned.
Tenancy problems
Compliance documentation matters at the start of a tenancy and later on. Missing records create avoidable disputes.
Emergency remedials at the worst time
Faults found on the day of an inspection can mean an appliance capped and a tenant without heating, all because the check was left to the last minute.
Small faults compound
Unmaintained appliances degrade. What would have been a cheap fix at last year's check becomes a failed appliance and a replacement bill.
Mistakes we get called out to fix
- Booking the check on the day the previous certificate expires, leaving no room for remedial work or access problems.
- Assuming the letting agent has arranged it when nobody actually has.
- Treating the certificate as a service. It is a safety check; it does not satisfy manufacturer warranty conditions.
- Forgetting appliances the tenant brought with them, or a gas fire in a room nobody uses.
- Leaving a disused gas supply uncapped rather than having it capped off correctly.
- Using anyone who is not Gas Safe registered. Always check the registration number — ours is 540834.
Our process
Five steps to a certificate in your inbox
01
Booking & access
Tell us the property, how many gas appliances there are and how tenant access works. We fit the visit around the household rather than dictating a slot.
02
Inspection
Every gas appliance, fitting and flue in the property is inspected, along with ventilation and clearances.
03
Testing & verification
Gas tightness test, operating pressure and gas rate where applicable, combustion and flue performance, and confirmation that safety devices work.
04
Findings explained
Anything unsafe is recorded and explained to you in plain English, with a price for any remedial work agreed before it is carried out.
05
Certificate issued
The record is issued promptly so you can pass a copy to your tenants and keep your file straight. Any work we carry out is covered by our 1-year workmanship guarantee.
What you get
Why landlords keep us on their list
Flat £60 + VAT, no add-ons
One clear price for the certificate. Remedial work, if any is needed, is quoted separately and only done with your agreement.
Paperwork issued promptly
You get the record without chasing, which matters when the compliance date is fixed and your tenants need a copy.
Sensible tenant access
We deal with tenants directly and politely to arrange access. Landlords with jobs and portfolios do not need to be middlemen.
Remedials handled in-house
If a fault is found, the same Gas Safe registered team can repair it, service the appliance or price a replacement from £1,600 + VAT.
One visit for check and service
Combine the £60 + VAT certificate with an £80 + VAT boiler service and get compliance and warranty maintenance in a single appointment.
Properly insured
Gas Safe registered 540834, City & Guilds / NVQ qualified team, £5m public liability and £10m employers' liability.
In detail
What gets checked, and the situations that change it
Not every rental is a two-bed with a combi. This is what the check involves across the property types we work in around Peterborough.
Appliance-by-appliance checks
Each gas appliance in the property is inspected in turn: boiler, gas fire, gas hob or cooker, and anything else connected to the supply. The engineer checks that it is correctly installed, that combustion is satisfactory, that the flue removes products of combustion safely, that ventilation is adequate for the appliance, and that safety devices shut it down when they should.
Appliances belonging to the tenant sit outside the landlord's duty in terms of the appliance itself, but the installation pipework and the flue serving them still have to be safe. It is worth telling us what is in the property when you book so nothing is a surprise on the day.
The gas installation itself
Beyond the appliances, the check covers the gas installation: a tightness test on the pipework, the operating pressure at the meter, the condition and support of visible pipework, and the emergency control valve.
Where a supply is no longer in use — an old gas fire removed, a disused cooker point — it should be capped off correctly rather than left live behind a fitting. We can cap old supplies as part of the same visit.
What happens if something fails
Unsafe appliances are classified and recorded, and with your permission an immediately dangerous appliance is disconnected or capped. That is not an engineer being awkward; it is the point of the inspection. You get a clear explanation of what is wrong and what is needed to put it right.
Because we install, service and repair gas appliances ourselves, remedial work does not mean finding another contractor. We quote the repair, and if the appliance is beyond economic repair we price a replacement from £1,600 + VAT so you can compare properly.
HMOs, multi-lets and portfolios
Properties with several appliances take longer and involve more records, and multi-lets add access complexity across several occupiers. We plan the visit around that rather than turning up and hoping everyone is in.
For landlords with a handful of properties, we are happy to work to a rolling annual schedule so certificates never run to the wire and remedial work can be planned instead of rushed.
Certificates versus servicing
The certificate at £60 + VAT is a legally required safety check. The service at £80 + VAT is maintenance: cleaning, measuring gas rate and combustion, checking seals and components, and keeping the appliance within its manufacturer warranty terms, which run up to 10 years on newer boilers.
They answer different questions. A certificate says the appliance is safe today; a service is what stops it failing next February. Booking both together costs one visit and one access arrangement.

Common questions
Landlord gas safety questions
How much is a landlord gas safety certificate in Peterborough?
£60 + VAT for the certificate. If remedial work is needed it is quoted separately and only carried out once you have agreed to it.
How often do I need a CP12?
Every twelve months. The check must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer and a copy of the record has to be given to your tenants.
How long does the check take?
A typical property with one or two gas appliances takes under an hour. Properties with several appliances or difficult access take longer.
What is included in the check?
Every gas appliance, fitting and flue in the property: combustion performance, flue integrity, ventilation, gas tightness, operating pressure and the correct operation of safety devices.
What happens if an appliance fails?
It is recorded and, where it is dangerous, disconnected or capped with your permission. We explain exactly what is wrong, price the remedial work, and only carry it out with your agreement.
Can you arrange access with my tenants?
Yes. We contact tenants directly and arrange a time that works for them, which saves you being the go-between.
Do you cover HMOs and multiple properties?
Yes. Properties with several appliances and portfolios on a rolling annual schedule are both routine work for us.
Can you cap off an old gas supply?
Yes — disused gas fires and old cooker points can be capped off correctly during the same visit rather than left live behind a fitting.
How quickly can you get the certificate to me?
Promptly after the visit, so you can pass a copy to your tenants and keep your compliance file up to date without chasing us for it.
