GAS SAFETY INSPECTIONS CROYDON

Why Landlords in Croydon Need a CP12 Certificate

If you rent out a property in Croydon, you must have a valid CP12 certificate.

This document (AKA a Gas Safety Certificate) proves your property has passed its annual gas safety check.

A CP12 is another name for a Gas Safety Certificate. Landlords receive a CP12 following a gas safety inspection. A Gas Safe-registered engineer inspects their property’s gas appliances, pipework, and flues.

The certificate proves the property has passed its annual gas safety check and is safe for tenants. It’s valid for 12 months and must be renewed every year.

Most importantly, a Gas Safety Inspection gives you peace of mind. Knowing your property and tenants are safe.

What Our Gas Safety Inspection Involves

A qualified Gas Safe engineer visits your Croydon property at a time which suits you and your tenants.

Here’s what we check:

• Boilers, cookers, fires, and other gas appliances.
• Flues and ventilation systems.
• Pipework for leaks and faults.
• Emissions, to ensure no harmful gases escape.

The inspection confirms whether each gas appliance is safe for use. It does not replace routine maintenance, which helps keep appliances working correctly between annual checks.

If the property includes a gas fire, we can also service your gas fire to clean its components, check its operation and identify signs of wear before they lead to a fault.

The Result – Your CP12 Certificate

Once the inspection is complete, you receive your CP12 certificate. This report lists every check carried out and highlights any concerns.

The certificate is valid for 12 months. Official proof your property complies with current gas safety regulations.

Once you receive your CP12 certificate, you can share it with your tenants. You must give them a copy within 28 days.

For new tenants, you’ll need to provide the certificate before they move in, so they know their home is safe.

You should also keep a copy of your CP12 for at least two years. This way, you can prove compliance if the council, insurers, or even a court ever ask to see it.

Failed Gas Safety Check? Here’s What Happens Next

Sometimes, a gas appliance or system fails to meet safety standards. If this happens, our engineer will mark it as unsafe and explain why.

In urgent cases, the appliance may be disconnected on the spot to protect your tenants.

If your property fails, we will explain the problem and provide a clear quotation for any repair or replacement work required.

Where a fault involves the heating system, our Boiler servicing and repairs service can address issues such as leaks, unsafe operation, ignition problems or poor performance. Once the required work is complete, the appliance can be checked again and an updated CP12 certificate issued where it meets the required standard.

Gas and Electrical Checks for Landlords

A CP12 covers the gas appliances, flues and gas pipework within the property. It does not assess the condition of the fixed electrical installation.

Landlords who need to check their electrical compliance can also arrange an EICR. This provides a separate report on the safety and condition of the property’s wiring, sockets, Consumer Unit and other fixed electrical systems.
