Landlord Gas Safety Certificates in Hastings

It depends mainly on the number of gas appliances to be checked. One boiler is the simplest job; add a gas hob or fire and the visit takes longer. We confirm the exact price when you book, and combining the CP12 with a boiler service in one visit is the most cost-effective route.

Every 12 months, without exception, for as long as the property is let. We can put your properties on an annual cycle and contact you before each one falls due, so a certificate never quietly expires.

Yes, most landlords prefer it. Give us the tenant's details and we will arrange a time, attend, and report back to you with the certificate. If a tenant is difficult about access we document attempts, which matters for your legal position.

The defect is recorded on the CP12 and we explain it to you in plain terms with a repair quote. If an appliance is immediately dangerous we must make it safe, which can mean disconnecting it until repaired. You will always know exactly where you stand before we leave the property.

The gas safety duty is the same annual check, but HMO licensing means the paperwork gets looked at more often and more closely. We certificate HMOs across Hastings and keep the records tidy so a licensing inspection holds no fear.

Appliances the tenant owns are not yours to maintain, but the flues and pipework serving them still are, and any appliance you provide is fully your duty. We will clarify what falls on which side at the visit so your CP12 covers what the law says it must.

Yes, and it is the sensible pairing: one visit, one access arrangement, and both the legal check and the manufacturer-required service dealt with together. Most of our Hastings landlords book it this way.

Usually within days rather than weeks, subject to tenant access. If you have a sale, a new tenancy or a licensing deadline pressing, tell us and we will do our best to prioritise the visit.

A renewal check carried out in the two months before the expiry date keeps the original anniversary, so renewing early costs you nothing. We use that window to schedule renewals sensibly rather than leaving them to the last minute.

Yes. Existing tenants must receive a copy within 28 days of the check, and new tenants must have one before they move in. Keep your own records for at least two years. We issue the CP12 in a form that makes all of that straightforward.

Yes, which is precisely what the law requires for a landlord gas safety check. Only a Gas Safe registered engineer can legally issue your CP12, and you are welcome to verify our registration first.
