Service overview
A legal requirement, handled properly
Every landlord renting out a property with a gas appliance must hold a current Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) — annually, with a copy given to the tenant within 28 days. We make that the easy part of being a landlord, not the worry.
What it is
A full annual gas safety inspection covering every gas appliance, flue and pipework in the property — tested for tightness, soundness, ventilation, combustion and safe operation. Certificate issued in digital format with hard copy on request.
Who it's for
Landlords, letting agents, social housing providers, holiday let owners and managing agents across Scunthorpe, Brigg, Kirton Lindsey, Messingham, Scotter, Barton-upon-Humber, Hull, Grimsby and Doncaster.
When it's needed
Annually, before the existing certificate expires (we can let you know when renewal is due). Before a new tenancy begins. After any new gas appliance is installed. After any flue or chimney alteration.
Why a professional matters
Failure to provide a current CP12 is a criminal offence, voids most landlord insurance, and prevents you from serving a Section 21 notice. More importantly, it's the single check most likely to catch a carbon monoxide hazard before it kills someone.
What goes wrong
What goes wrong without a current certificate
The penalties are severe — and that's before anything actually happens to the property.
Section 21 invalidated
You cannot serve a valid Section 21 notice without proof you supplied the tenant with a current CP12. Many landlord eviction cases collapse on this point alone.
Unlimited fines & criminal record
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 carry unlimited fines and possible imprisonment for non-compliance. Local authorities prosecute regularly.
Insurance void
Almost every landlord buildings and contents policy makes a current CP12 a condition of cover. Without it, you'll get nothing on a fire or gas-related claim.
Selective licensing breach
Many Hull and Doncaster boroughs operate selective licensing schemes that require an in-date CP12 as a licence condition. Breach = further fines.
Carbon monoxide
The reason the certificate exists. A faulty appliance or blocked flue can kill a sleeping family in hours. Annual inspection is the single most effective check.
Mortgage breach for BTL
Buy-to-let mortgage conditions typically require gas compliance. Lender breaches can trigger early repayment demands.

In detail
Inside a CP12 inspection
What we check, what gets recorded, and what happens if something fails.
Flue & combustion checks
Visual inspection of the flue route, terminal clearances and condition. Flue gas analyser on the boiler measures CO/CO₂ ratio — anything outside spec is recorded on the certificate.
Tightness testing
Gas leak test from the gas meter through the supply pipework — required on every CP12, regardless of how many appliances are present.
What 'At Risk', 'Immediately Dangerous' and 'Not to Current Standards' mean
ID appliances are isolated and capped — gas supply turned off, certificate marked. AR appliances are usable but flagged for remedy. NCS issues are recorded for awareness. We always explain in plain language what's needed.
CO alarms
England requires a CO alarm in any room containing a fixed combustion appliance (other than gas cookers) in a rented property. We check presence and operation as part of every CP12.
Service vs Certificate
A CP12 is a safety inspection — it isn't a service. Many landlords bundle the two (a CP12 + boiler service) to keep the manufacturer warranty active. We offer that as a fixed-price package.
What lands on the certificate
Landlord and tenant addresses, engineer's Gas Safe number, every appliance tested, results of every test, defects, remedial action recommended and next inspection due date.
Holiday lets & HMOs
We cover holiday lets and HMOs across the Humber. HMO inspections often include additional fire safety touchpoints around the gas installation — fully documented in the CP12 record.

How much is a Gas Safety Certificate?
Fixed price fixed-price in core North Lincolnshire (Scunthorpe, Brigg, Messingham, Scotter, Kirton Lindsey, Barton-upon-Humber). Slightly more for Hull, Grimsby and Doncaster. Discounts on portfolios of 3+ properties.
How long is a CP12 valid for?
12 months from the date of inspection. You can renew up to two months early without losing time off your renewal date — the new certificate runs from the original anniversary.
How quickly can you do one?
Booked Mon–Fri across North Lincs. Hull, Grimsby and Doncaster covered during the same working week — call as early in the day as possible.
Do you arrange access with the tenant?
Yes — provide the tenant's contact details and we'll co-ordinate the appointment directly. You don't need to be involved unless you want to be.
Can I bundle a service with the CP12?
Yes — CP12 + annual boiler service as a fixed-price package keeps the manufacturer warranty active and saves on a second visit.
What if you find a fault?
We'll explain what it is, classify it (Immediately Dangerous, At Risk, Not to Current Standards) and quote in writing for the remedy. You decide whether we do it or someone else does.
Do you cover commercial properties?
We do small commercial — domestic-style boilers in offices, salons, shops. Industrial gas (above 70kW input or 35bar) is outside our certification.
Will you remind me when it's due?
Yes, automatically. Free email reminder 30 days before renewal, then again 7 days before. You won't lapse.
