Landlord Gas Safety
Certificates (CP12)
Fast Turnaround in Oxfordshire.
Fixed-price CP12s issued on completion and uploaded digitally, and can be carried out alongside an annual service, so you stay compliant, keep tenants safe, and avoid the fines and insurance disputes that unrecorded gas work invites.
Landlord CP12, explained properly.
A CP12 (Gas Safety Record) is the annual gas safety inspection legally required for every rented property in the UK where a gas appliance is installed. It covers boilers, gas hobs, gas fires, meters and pipework, and is issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Private landlords, portfolio landlords, letting agents and property managers responsible for rented properties across Oxfordshire.
Every 12 months. A copy must be given to the tenant within 28 days of the check, and to any new tenant before they move in. Records must be kept for at least 2 years.
It's a legal document. It has to be right. Missing checks or forged certificates trigger unlimited fines, invalid insurance and, in the worst case, criminal charges after a CO incident. Gas Safe registered engineers are the only people who can lawfully issue one.
The cost of ignoring it.
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 don't accept 'I forgot'. Missing or invalid CP12s put landlords in the line for unlimited fines and personal liability.
Unlimited fines
The Health and Safety Executive can prosecute landlords who fail to comply. Fines are uncapped and criminal in serious cases.
Invalid insurance
Buildings and landlord insurance policies routinely require an in-date CP12. No certificate = no cover if the worst happens.
Void section 21 notices
You can't validly serve a section 21 eviction notice if the tenant wasn't given a CP12. That's a landlord's most common serious oversight.
Tenant harm
The whole point of the regulation is CO safety. Unchecked appliances cause deaths in the UK every year.
Common mistakes we see
- •Missing the 12-month renewal deadline because nobody was tracking it
- •Using a non-Gas Safe 'gas man' who issues a document that isn't a valid CP12
- •Not giving the tenant a copy within 28 days
- •Losing paper certificates and not being able to prove compliance
- •Confusing a boiler service with a CP12, they're different documents
How we run the job.

Book by phone or email
Send the property address and any tenant contact details; we book direct with the tenant if you prefer.
- 02
Access & inspection
Gas Safe engineer attends, checks every gas appliance for tightness, ventilation, flue, gas rate and safety devices.
- 03
Immediate remediation
Any 'at risk' or 'immediately dangerous' finding is discussed with the landlord straight away and priced to fix.
- 04
Digital certificate
CP12 issued digitally on completion, emailed to landlord, agent and tenant as required.
- 05
Reminder for next year
We add you to our annual reminder list so the next CP12 doesn't creep up unnoticed.
What you actually get.
Same-week booking
We keep CP12 slots free every week across Oxfordshire so you're never chasing a certificate at midnight before a new tenancy starts.
Digital delivery
Certificates emailed directly to landlord, agent and tenant, no paper to lose.
Discounted with service
Combine the annual boiler service with the CP12 in one visit for a reduced combined price.
Portfolio pricing
Volume pricing for letting agents and portfolio landlords, one point of contact, one invoice.
Fault fix on the day
If we find something dangerous, we can quote and fix it there and then rather than sending you to a second contractor.
Compliance reminders
Automatic annual reminders so nothing slips through the cracks and puts a section 21 at risk.
Depth, not filler.
What a real CP12 inspection covers, and where corner-cutters skip.
Appliances checked
Every gas appliance: boiler, gas hob, gas oven, gas fire, gas water heater. All tested and recorded, not just the boiler.
Tightness test
Gas tightness test on the whole installation, from meter to appliance. A hidden leak fails the certificate.
Combustion & flue
Flue gas analysis on every appliance where accessible, flue integrity and termination checked, ventilation verified.
Gas rate & pressures
Working and standing pressure at meter, gas rate to each appliance measured against manufacturer specification.
Safety devices
Flame failure devices, overheat cut-outs, oxy-depletion sensors on gas fires, all tested.
Findings & classification
Any fault is classified as 'not to current standards', 'at risk' or 'immediately dangerous', with clear action required.
Combined with servicing
A CP12 is a safety check, not a service. Combining both in one visit saves time and money while covering both requirements.
Multi-property portfolios
For letting agents and multi-property landlords, we plan routes across Witney, Oxford, Carterton, Abingdon and Bicester efficiently and consolidate paperwork.
Straight answers.
How much does a CP12 cost?
Boiler service and gas safety renewal starts from £95, with additional appliances such as a gas hob at £10 each. We confirm the fixed price for your property before we book.
How long does the check take?
A single-boiler property typically 30–45 minutes. Multi-appliance properties (gas hob, gas fire, boiler) take longer.
How quickly can you attend?
Same-week booking across Oxfordshire is normal. For tenanted properties we coordinate access with the tenant directly if you prefer.
What if you find something dangerous?
We classify the finding, isolate the appliance if necessary, and quote a fixed-price fix on the spot. You decide whether we do the remediation.
Is a CP12 the same as a boiler service?
No. A CP12 is a legally required safety check; a service is a maintenance procedure that keeps warranty valid and prevents breakdowns. Both are annual and often combined.
Can you handle a portfolio?
Yes, we work with letting agents and portfolio landlords across Oxfordshire. Single point of contact, consolidated invoicing, planned routes.
Do you cover HMOs?
Yes. HMOs have additional compliance considerations we're familiar with.
Will I get a digital copy?
Yes, every CP12 is issued digitally and emailed to landlord, agent and tenant as required by the regs.
