Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) in Hastings and East Sussex

CP12 is the common name for the Landlord Gas Safety Record, the document a Gas Safe registered engineer issues after inspecting the gas appliances, pipework and flues in a rental property. It records what was checked, the results, and any defects found.

Every 12 months, for every rental property with gas appliances. You must also give your tenants a copy of the record, and keep copies yourself. We can remind you when renewal is due so it never slips.

Each gas appliance is tested for safe operation, gas tightness is checked, and flues and ventilation are inspected to make sure combustion gases are clearing properly. Safety devices and operating pressures are checked appliance by appliance, and everything is recorded on the certificate.

For a typical property with a single boiler, usually under an hour. Each additional appliance, such as a gas hob or fire, adds a little time. We will give you a realistic slot when you book so tenants know what to expect.

Yes. Give us the tenant's contact details and we will arrange a convenient time with them directly, which is often easier for everyone. We turn up when we say we will, which keeps tenants cooperative for next year's visit too.

The defect is recorded on the certificate along with its classification, and we explain in plain English what it means and how urgent it is. Because we also repair boilers and gas appliances, we can usually quote for the remedial work on the spot and get the property compliant quickly.

Yes. We carry out landlord gas safety inspections across Hastings, St Leonards-on-Sea, Bexhill-on-Sea and Rye. Portfolios spread across two or more of those towns are no problem, we can schedule them efficiently in a run.

Yes. The regulations allow the annual check to be carried out in the final two months before expiry while keeping the original renewal date, in the same way an MOT works. It is a sensible buffer against access problems, and we can plan your bookings around it.

The price depends on the number of gas appliances in the property, and we confirm it up front when you book, no surprises. Combining the CP12 with a boiler service in the same visit is cheaper than booking the two separately.

Yes, we look after gas safety compliance for letting agents as well as private landlords. We can work from your renewal schedule, liaise with tenants for access, and send certificates directly to your office as each property is done.

Yes, and it is the arrangement we recommend to every landlord. One visit covers both the legal safety inspection and the annual service that keeps the boiler's warranty valid, saving you money and a second access arrangement with your tenants.
