What Does Gas Safety Certificate Involve?
A Gas Safety Certificate — formally known as a CP12 — is a legal document issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer following an inspection of all gas appliances, pipework, and flues in a property. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, every landlord in England and Wales is legally required to hold a valid CP12 for each rented residential property containing gas appliances, renewed annually. This is not a recommendation — it is a statutory requirement.
Kamdem HomeTech's Gas Safe engineers carry out CP12 inspections across all 35 areas of Greater Manchester. During the inspection, we examine and assess:
- All gas appliances — boilers (combination, system, and heat-only), gas fires, gas hobs, gas cookers, and any other fixed gas appliances in the property
- All accessible gas supply pipework — checking for correct installation, signs of corrosion, adequate support, and the absence of leaks
- All flues and ventilation — confirming that combustion products are safely exhausted from the property and that ventilation requirements for each appliance are met
- Appliance operation and safety — confirming each appliance lights correctly, operates within safe parameters, and all safety controls function as intended
Certificates are issued in writing on the day of the inspection and emailed to the landlord immediately on completion. Tenants are legally entitled to receive a copy within 28 days of the annual inspection — we provide the documentation in a format you can forward directly.
For landlords managing multiple rental properties across Greater Manchester, we offer portfolio scheduling and block-booking rates — coordinating inspection dates to ensure no property's certificate lapses, with advance reminders before each renewal. We also combine boiler servicing with the CP12 inspection where appropriate, reducing the number of visits required across a portfolio.
What Happens When You Delay?
A lapsed or missing Gas Safety Certificate is not a minor administrative oversight — it is a criminal offence. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecutes landlords in breach of gas safety regulations, with penalties of up to £6,000 per appliance and up to six months' imprisonment for the most serious cases.
A landlord without a valid CP12 cannot lawfully serve a Section 21 notice to a tenant. In the event of a gas-related incident at a property with a lapsed certificate — whether a carbon monoxide event, gas leak, or fire — the landlord's buildings and contents insurance may be void and they face unlimited civil liability to tenants, as well as criminal prosecution.
Gas Safety Certificates expire on the anniversary date — not the end of the month or calendar year. A certificate lapsed by even one day is a compliance failure. Kamdem HomeTech offers advance renewal reminders for all our landlord clients, ensuring you are notified before — never after — your compliance window closes.

Why This Matters For You
Legal Compliance — No Gaps
A valid CP12 is a statutory requirement for every rented residential property with gas appliances. Kamdem HomeTech ensures your certification is continuous — no lapses, no compliance risks.
Same-Day Certificate
We issue your CP12 on the day of inspection — not days later. You can forward it to your tenant immediately and retain it in your landlord records without delay.
Portfolio Management
For landlords with multiple properties across Greater Manchester, we coordinate and schedule inspections to manage your entire portfolio — preventing any property from falling out of compliance.
Gas Safe Registered
All our inspections are carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers (Reg: 559988). Only Gas Safe registered engineers are legally permitted to issue CP12 certificates in the UK.
Transparent Pricing — From £75
We provide clear, fixed pricing for all CP12 inspections before the visit. For portfolio landlords, we offer block-booking rates. No hidden charges.
Combined with Boiler Servicing
Where your boiler service is also due, we carry out both in a single visit — saving you time and reducing access requests to your tenant.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a Gas Safety Certificate need to be renewed?
Every 12 months without exception. The certificate expires on its anniversary date — not the end of the month or year. You cannot use a certificate that has lapsed, even by one day.
Who is legally required to hold a Gas Safety Certificate?
All private landlords in England and Wales who rent out residential properties containing gas appliances. This includes boilers, gas fires, gas hobs, gas cookers, and gas tumble dryers. Even a single gas appliance in a property triggers the requirement.
Can I hand over a property to a new tenant without a current CP12?
No. You must have a valid Gas Safety Certificate in place before a new tenancy commences. You are legally required to give the tenant a copy of the current CP12 before they move in — not within 28 days as applies to existing tenancies.
What happens if an appliance fails the inspection?
Appliances that are found to be Immediately Dangerous (ID) are disconnected by our engineer for your and your tenant's safety — with your permission. Appliances classified as At-Risk (AR) are noted on the certificate with recommended remedial action. We provide a clear fixed-price quote for any required repair work and can carry it out promptly to restore compliance.
Can you service the boiler and carry out the CP12 at the same visit?
Yes — and we recommend this wherever possible. Combining an annual boiler service with the CP12 inspection reduces the number of access requests to your tenant and may reduce the overall cost compared to booking separately.
Do I need to notify my tenant before the inspection?
Yes. You are legally required to give your tenant at least 24 hours' written notice before entering the property for a gas safety inspection. We can arrange appointment times that work around your tenant's availability.
How much does a Gas Safety Certificate cost?
Our CP12 inspections start from £75 for a standard single-property residential inspection. For portfolio landlords with multiple properties, contact us on 07826 088938 for block-booking rates.
