Landlord CP12 Gas Safe Certificates in Canterbury
Landlord Annual Gas Safe
During a CP12 Gas Safe inspection, every gas appliance and connected system within the property is checked to confirm it is safe and operating correctly. This includes the boiler, gas hobs, cookers, and fireplaces, along with associated pipework, flues, and ventilation. Our Gas Safe registered engineers carry out combustion analysis, check for gas leaks, test safety devices, and confirm appliances are operating within current legal standards. Once the inspection is complete, you’ll receive a signed landlord gas safety certificate, with digital copies securely stored and always accessible via our customer portal.

What Is a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?
A Gas Safety Certificate, commonly referred to as a CP12, is a legal document required for rental properties in the UK. It confirms that all gas appliances, pipework, and flues within the property have been checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer and are safe to use. Landlords are legally required to have a valid CP12 in place and to provide a copy to tenants, ensuring ongoing compliance with gas safety regulations.
Gas Safety Checks for Boilers
Boilers are a key part of a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) inspection and must be checked to confirm they are safe to operate. During the inspection, our Gas Safe registered engineers examine the boiler installation, test safe operation, check combustion and flue performance, and confirm that safety devices are functioning correctly. Any defects, safety concerns, or advisory observations are clearly recorded on the certificate or inspection report, allowing landlords and property owners to understand the boiler’s safety and compliance status.
New Home Buyer Gas Safety & Heating Audit Report
Our New Home Buyer Gas Safety and Heating Audit Report provides peace of mind when purchasing or selling a property. We carry out a full inspection of the heating system and gas appliances, followed by a clear written report detailing the condition, safety, and overall performance of the system. Where applicable, the inspection includes a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), making it suitable for solicitors, estate agents, buyers, and sellers who require clear, professional documentation to support the transaction.
Gas Hobs, Cookers & Kitchen Appliances
Gas hobs and cookers are included as part of a landlord gas safety inspection where they are connected to the gas supply. During the check, our Gas Safe registered engineers inspect appliance installation, test for gas leaks, confirm correct flame picture and combustion, and ensure ventilation requirements are met. Any safety concerns or defects are clearly recorded on the certificate or report, helping landlords and property owners confirm that kitchen gas appliances are safe and compliant for continued use.
Gas Fires and Decorative Gas Appliances
Gas fires and decorative gas appliances are included in a CP12 Gas Safe inspection where they are connected to the gas supply. Our Gas Safe registered engineers check installation condition, flue integrity, ventilation, and safe operation to ensure the appliance meets current safety standards. Any defects, safety concerns, or advisory notes are clearly recorded on the certificate or inspection report, allowing landlords and property owners to understand the condition and compliance status of gas fires within the property.
Damaged or Leaking Gas Pipe Repairs & Certification
If a damaged or leaking gas pipe is identified, our Gas Safe registered engineers can carry out the necessary repairs to restore the gas installation to a safe condition. Once repairs are completed, the affected pipework is pressure tested and checked in accordance with Gas Safe requirements. Where appropriate, certification is provided to confirm the gas installation has been repaired, tested, and left safe for continued use, giving landlords, homeowners, and agents clear written evidence that the issue has been properly resolved.
Certification relates to the repaired section of pipework and does not replace a full landlord gas safety inspection where one is legally required.
What Happens If a Property Fails a CP12 Check?
A CP12 inspection does not “fail” a property, but gas appliances or installations may be classified if safety issues are identified. Appliances may be recorded as At Risk (AR) or Immediately Dangerous (ID) depending on the severity of the fault. Where this occurs, our Gas Safe registered engineers will clearly explain the findings, advise on the required remedial work, and confirm what action is needed before the appliance can be safely used. Once repairs are completed and the installation is left safe, certification can be updated where appropriate.
Digital CP12 Certificates & Record Keeping
All Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) are issued digitally for secure and convenient record keeping. Certificates are stored in our customer portal and can be accessed at any time, making it easy for landlords and letting agents to share documentation with tenants, solicitors, or managing agents. Digital records help ensure compliance deadlines are met and reduce the risk of lost or outdated paperwork.
