A Gas Safety Certificate — officially called a Landlord Gas Safety Record or CP12 — is a legal document confirming that all gas appliances, fittings, and flues in a rental property have been inspected and found safe to use. It must be renewed annually. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, every landlord in England and Wales is legally required to have gas appliances checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This applies to boilers, gas fires, gas cookers, and any other gas-burning appliance in the property. The inspection covers gas tightness, standing and working gas pressure, burner pressure and gas rate, ventilation, flue flow and spillage, and the general condition and safety of the appliance. If everything passes, we issue the CP12 on-site. If any appliance is found to be unsafe, we classify the risk and advise on the required remedial action. At Conroy Plumbing & Heating, we understand the time pressure landlords face. We offer same-day appointments where possible, and we can coordinate access with tenants directly if needed. We also provide multi-property discounts for landlords with portfolios. ## The Consequences of Non-Compliance Operating a rental property without a valid CP12 is not just a bureaucratic oversight — it is a criminal offence. The penalties are severe, and the risks to tenant safety are real. - Landlords face unlimited fines for failing to provide an annual gas safety check - In cases of negligence leading to injury or death, landlords can face manslaughter charges - Tenants have the right to request sight of the CP12 — and can report non-compliance to the HSE - Unsafe gas appliances are the leading cause of carbon monoxide poisoning in rental properties - Mortgage lenders and property insurers may void cover if compliance cannot be demonstrated - Letting agents are increasingly requiring valid CP12 certificates before marketing properties ## What the Gas Safety Inspection Involves 1 ### Appliance Identification We identify and record every gas appliance in the property — boilers, fires, cookers, and water heaters. Each appliance is checked individually. 2 ### Safety Testing We test gas tightness on the installation pipework, measure standing and working gas pressures, check burner pressure and gas rate, and verify that safety devices are functioning correctly. 3 ### Ventilation & Flue Checks We inspect ventilation openings to ensure adequate air supply. We test flue flow using a smoke pellet or electronic analyser and check for spillage of combustion products into the room. 4 ### Visual Inspection We check the general condition of each appliance and its connections, looking for signs of damage, deterioration, or modification that could affect safety. 5 ### Certificate Issue If all appliances pass, we issue the CP12 certificate on-site. You receive a copy for your records, and a copy must be provided to your tenants within 28 days. ## Why Landlords Choose Conroy for Gas Safety ### Same-Day Availability We understand the urgency of expiring certificates.

The resulting record must be provided to existing tenants within 28 days of the check, and to new tenants before they move in. ### What Happens If an Appliance Fails? If we find an appliance that is unsafe, we classify it as either 'At Risk' (AR), 'Immediately Dangerous' (ID), or 'Not to Current Standards' (NCS). An ID classification means the appliance must be disconnected immediately. An AR appliance should not be used until repaired. An NCS appliance is safe to use but does not meet current installation standards. We explain the classification clearly and provide a quote for any required remedial work. ### CP12 vs Boiler Service A CP12 gas safety check confirms the appliance is safe to use. A boiler service is a more comprehensive inspection that includes internal component checks, efficiency measurements, and manufacturer warranty compliance. Both are important but serve different purposes. We offer combined service-and-CP12 appointments for efficiency. ### Record Keeping and Compliance You must retain gas safety records for at least 2 years. We recommend keeping records for the full duration of your property ownership. We maintain copies of all certificates we issue and can provide duplicates if your originals are lost. For landlords with multiple properties, we can set up annual reminders so certificates never lapse. ### HMO and Commercial Properties Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) have the same annual gas safety requirements but may have additional considerations around shared appliances and communal areas. Commercial properties with gas catering equipment require additional checks. We advise on the specific requirements for your property type. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How much does a gas safety certificate cost in Bolton? ### How long does a gas safety check take? ### Can I get a same-day gas safety certificate? ### What is the difference between a CP12 and a boiler service? ### What if my boiler fails the gas safety check? ### Do I need a CP12 for an electric-only property? ### Can you coordinate access with my tenants? ### How many days before expiry should I rebook?
