FAQs

What is a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) and who needs one?

A Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is a legal document verifying that gas appliances, pipework, and flues in a property are safe to use. This certification is legally required for all landlords who rent properties with gas appliances. The law mandates annual inspections by a Gas Safe Registered engineer, with certificates provided to tenants within 28 days of inspection. Failure to obtain this certificate can result in significant penalties, including fines up to £6,000 and potential imprisonment for serious cases. While not legally required for homeowners, we strongly recommend regular safety checks for all properties with gas installations.

How much does a Gas Safety Certificate cost?

Our Landlord Gas Safety Certificates start from £50 for properties with a single gas appliance. Additional appliances are charged at £10 each. We also offer a combined Gas Safety Certificate and Boiler Service package from £80, representing excellent value. For letting agents and landlords with multiple properties, we provide competitive bulk rates. All prices include the inspection, certificate issuance, and digital record-keeping. We serve properties across Milton Keynes, Buckingham, Northampton, Bedford, Olney, and Towcester with no additional travel charges within these areas.

How long does a Gas Safety inspection take?

A typical Gas Safety inspection takes between 30-60 minutes for a property with standard gas appliances (boiler, cooker, gas fire). The exact duration depends on the number and type of appliances, the complexity of the system, and the property size. We conduct thorough inspections without rushing, ensuring every safety aspect is properly assessed. We aim to minimize disruption by offering appointments at times convenient for you or your tenants, including evenings and weekends across our service areas of Milton Keynes, Buckingham, Northampton, Bedford, Olney, and Towcester.

What happens if an appliance fails the Gas Safety inspection?

If an appliance fails inspection, we categorize the issue based on its severity. For immediately dangerous situations, we will disconnect the appliance and issue a warning label - it cannot be used until repaired. For at-risk situations, we provide a warning notice and recommend immediate repair. For not-to-current-standards findings, we offer improvement advice. We can often perform minor repairs immediately during the inspection visit. For more significant issues, we provide a detailed quotation for the necessary repairs. Landlords should note that properties cannot be legally rented with condemned gas appliances, but we prioritize repair work for these situations to minimize vacancy periods.
