Understanding Your Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)

So, what exactly is a CP12? Simply put, it's a formal document issued by a Gas Safe Registered engineer after they've thoroughly checked all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in your Urmston rental property. This certificate confirms that everything is working safely and correctly, reducing the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, gas leaks, and fires. It's your official record that your gas installations have been inspected by a qualified professional, keeping your tenants protected and you legally sound.

After a thorough inspection, if everything passes, we’ll issue your CP12 certificate.

Who is Qualified to Issue a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate?
