What Is a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?

A Gas Safety Certificate is an official document issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer after they’ve inspected your property’s:

Boilers and heating systems

Gas cookers and hobs

Gas fires

Flues, pipework, and ventilation

The engineer checks for gas leaks, unsafe fittings, and carbon monoxide risks. Once everything passes, they issue a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate valid for 12 months.

This certificate is mandatory under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
