Service Overview
Gas Safety Certificates, explained simply.
Honest, plain-English answers, what the service is, who it's for, when you need it, and why a Gas Safe specialist matters.
What it is
A statutory CP12 Gas Safety Record, a full safety inspection of every gas appliance, pipework and flue in the property, signed by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Who it's for
Landlords (legally required annually), letting agents, social housing providers, holiday-let owners, and homeowners selling a property where buyers want a current safety record.
When you need it
Within 12 months of the last certificate, or before a new tenancy begins. Many landlords book at 10 months to keep a rolling renewal date.
Why a pro matters
It's a legal requirement under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, non-compliance carries unlimited fines and, in serious cases, custodial sentences. It also protects tenants from carbon-monoxide risk.
The Cost of Ignoring It
What it costs to wait, and the mistakes that make it worse.
Letting a CP12 lapse is one of the most expensive mistakes a landlord can make, legally, financially and morally.
If you leave it
- Unlimited HSE fines and possible prosecution
- Section 21 eviction notices ruled invalid without a valid CP12
- Voided landlord insurance after any gas-related claim
- Carbon-monoxide risk to tenants, the legal and human cost
- Letting-agent contracts terminated for non-compliance
Common mistakes
- Booking a 'service' assuming it includes a CP12, they're separate jobs
- Letting tenants block access and not following up properly in writing
- Using an engineer who isn't registered for the specific appliance type (e.g. LPG, cookers, fires)
- Filing the paper certificate and losing it before the next tenancy

In Detail
Everything you need to know about gas safety certificates.
We issue CP12 gas safety certificates across the whole of Oldham and Greater Manchester, single properties, portfolios, HMOs, holiday lets and social-housing stock.
What's checked on a CP12
Every gas appliance, boilers, cookers, hobs, fires, water heaters, checked for safe operation, correct combustion, secure flueing, adequate ventilation, gas tightness of all pipework, and presence/working order of carbon-monoxide alarms in line with current regs.
Landlord obligations
CP12 must be renewed within 12 months of the previous certificate, copy issued to existing tenants within 28 days, and to new tenants before they move in. Records must be kept for 2 years minimum.
HMO and student lets
Same statutory CP12 requirement, plus additional considerations on shared appliances and means of escape. We schedule access around multiple tenants and provide CO alarm checks.
Holiday let / Airbnb compliance
Annual CP12 required just like a standard let. We schedule between bookings and provide guest-facing safety information on request.
Portfolio landlords
If you have 3+ properties, ask us about portfolio scheduling, single point of contact, rolling renewal dates, consolidated invoicing.
Combined CP12 + boiler service
Done together on the same visit, saves a separate call-out, keeps the manufacturer warranty valid, and gives you both the legal cert and the maintenance record.
FAQs
Straight answers on gas safety certificates.
Can't see your question? Call Chris on 07957 661156 , honest answer, no sales script.
How much does a CP12 cost in Oldham?+
Quoted on the call based on the number of appliances. Multi-appliance and HMO properties are priced per appliance.
How quickly will I get the CP12?+
We aim to get your CP12 back as soon as possible, with most completed within 3 working days.
Is it different from a boiler service?+
Yes. A CP12 is a legal landlord safety inspection. A service is the manufacturer's maintenance schedule. Both can be done on the same visit at a discount.
What happens if I don't have a valid CP12?+
Letting a property without a valid CP12 risks unlimited HSE fines, invalid Section 21 notices, voided insurance, and potential prosecution after a gas-related incident.
Do you cover HMOs?+
Yes, HMOs, student lets, social housing and holiday lets. We schedule access across multiple tenants and provide CO alarm and appliance checks.
What if the property fails the inspection?+
We will explain exactly what's wrong, give you a fixed price to fix it, and reissue the CP12 once safe. We will never sign off a property that isn't compliant.
Do you do portfolio packages?+
Yes, landlords with 3+ properties get centralised booking, rolling renewal reminders, consolidated invoicing and discounted per-property pricing.
How long is a CP12 valid for?+
12 months from the date of issue. We send a free text reminder before it expires.
