What Is a CP12?
A CP12 is the record produced after a landlord gas safety check. It confirms that gas appliances and flues checked at the rental property have been inspected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
What Is Checked?
Checks can include appliance operation, flue performance, ventilation, safety devices, operating pressure and visible signs of unsafe operation. A gas safety check is not the same as a full boiler service, although both can often be arranged together.
Landlord Timing and Records
Landlord gas safety checks are required every 12 months for rental properties with gas appliances. Keeping clear records and arranging reminders helps avoid last-minute certificate problems.
Certificates, Tenants and Records
Landlords should keep gas safety records organised and make sure tenants receive the required documentation. Annual reminders can help prevent certificates expiring unexpectedly, especially when managing more than one property.
Why Servicing Is Still Worth Considering
A CP12 confirms gas safety checks at the time of inspection, but it is not a full boiler service. Many landlords arrange annual servicing at the same visit to support reliability and reduce avoidable tenant disruption.

FAQs
Questions Customers Ask
How often do landlords need a CP12?
Landlords need a gas safety check every 12 months for rental properties with gas appliances. The certificate should be kept as part of the landlord's records and supplied to tenants as required.
Is a CP12 the same as a boiler service?
No. A CP12 is a gas safety record, while a boiler service is a more detailed appliance service. Many landlords arrange both together because servicing supports reliability as well as safety.
Can you work with letting agents?
Yes. Gas safety checks can be arranged for landlords and letting agents across Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot and nearby Torbay areas.
What is included in a CP12 check?
A CP12 records checks on gas appliances and flues at the rental property. The engineer checks safety-related operation, ventilation, flue performance and visible concerns, then records the outcome.
Can a failed CP12 be repaired straight away?
That depends on the fault, parts and safety issue found. Some problems can be resolved quickly, while others need parts or follow-up repair work. Unsafe appliances must be handled correctly and not used until made safe.
