Annual gas safety checks for rented homes
If you let out a residential property, the annual gas safety check is one of those jobs that cannot live on a sticky note for later. We carry out landlord gas safety inspections for relevant gas appliances and installations, checking appliances, flues, ventilation, operating safety and general gas installation condition before issuing the gas safety record. The certificate records the property details, inspected appliances, results and any safety-related action identified. When you arrange Taylor Plumbing and Heating for a CP12 inspection, the aim is clear paperwork backed by a proper inspection, so you are not left wondering what was actually checked.
Know the difference between CP12 and servicing
A CP12 inspection is different from a service. The safety check confirms condition and compliance at the time of inspection, while servicing is maintenance aimed at keeping an appliance working well. Many landlords need both, but they are not the same appointment unless arranged that way. It helps to have access organised, appliance details ready and tenants aware of the visit in advance. Choosing Taylor Plumbing and Heating means the visit stays focused, the findings are explained clearly and any next step is set out without burying you in jargon.
Frequently asked questions
What does a landlord gas safety certificate inspection cover?
We inspect the relevant gas appliances, flues, ventilation, operating safety and the condition of the gas installation, then issue the gas safety record. The certificate notes the property details, appliances checked and the recorded results.
Is a CP12 inspection the same as a boiler service?
No. A CP12 inspection is a safety and compliance check for landlords, while a boiler service is maintenance aimed at performance and early fault spotting. Many landlords arrange both, but they do different jobs and one does not replace the other.
What information helps when booking a CP12 visit?
The property address, which gas appliances are present, tenant access arrangements and any known appliance details all help. Having that information ready makes it easier to plan the inspection and keep the visit running smoothly.
