A gas safety certificate is a legal requirement for every landlord renting out a property with gas appliances in the City of London. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must arrange an annual gas safety check carried out by a Gas Safe-registered engineer. Failure to comply can lead to unlimited fines and up to two years’ imprisonment under the Section 36 prosecution. EICR Landlord Cert provides gas safety inspections across the City of London from just £75, with fixed pricing and no hidden charges.
Our Gas Safe-registered engineers are DBS-checked and fully insured with public liability cover on every job. We offer same-day inspection availability Monday to Friday for City of London landlords who need a gas safety certificate quickly. Your engineer checks every gas appliance, flue, and pipework connection throughout the property. Your certificate is issued once the inspection is complete, and we provide a digital copy for your records and your tenants.
A gas safety check in the City of London covers every gas appliance, gas meter connection, and pipeline in your rental property. Your Gas Safe-registered engineer inspects each appliance for safe operation, checks flue terminals for correct ventilation, and tests gas pressure at every connection point. This annual gas safety check is required by law and must be completed within 12 months of the previous inspection.
During the gas safety check, your engineer examines boilers, gas hobs, gas cookers, gas fires, and gas water heaters. They test for carbon monoxide risk, check combustion performance, and confirm that every gas appliance is burning safely with adequate ventilation. Properties in the City of London with older gas installations may have issues with corroded pipework or poorly positioned flues that need attention.
A thorough gas safety check protects your tenants from carbon monoxide poisoning and gas leaks. It also protects you as a City of London landlord from prosecution and the significant penalties that follow non-compliance with the Gas Safety Regulations 1998.
Landlord gas safety is a non-negotiable obligation for anyone renting property in the City of London that has gas-supplied appliances.
EICR Landlord Cert helps City of London landlords stay compliant with annual gas safety requirements from £75.
A CP12 is the industry name for a landlord gas safety certificate. City of London landlords often hear this term from engineers and letting agents.
We issue your CP12 certificate once the inspection is complete, with a digital copy sent directly to you.
A gas safety inspection in the City of London follows a structured process designed to identify any faults or risks with your gas installations. Your Gas Safe-registered engineer works through every gas appliance in the property, testing each one individually before checking the connecting pipework and flue system. The inspection is thorough but typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes for a standard residential property.
The engineer checks gas tightness across all joints and connections, measures operating pressure at each appliance, and verifies that combustion gases are venting safely through the flue. They also inspect the gas meter and any exposed pipework for damage, corrosion, or signs of deterioration. If an appliance fails the gas safety inspection, the engineer will classify it as “at risk” or “immediately dangerous” and advise you on the next steps.
City of London landlords should be aware that a gas safety inspection is not the same as a boiler service. The inspection confirms safety compliance, while a service involves cleaning and maintaining the appliance for performance. EICR Landlord Cert carries out gas safety inspections that meet the full requirements of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.

A gas safety certificate, also known as a CP12, is a legal document that confirms all gas appliances and pipework in a rental property have been inspected and found safe by a Gas Safe-registered engineer. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require every City of London landlord to hold a valid gas safety certificate for each rented property. Without one, you cannot legally let a property with gas appliances.
Landlords must renew their gas safety certificate every 12 months. The annual gas safety check is a strict legal requirement under the 1998 regulations, and City of London landlords cannot allow this to lapse. You can book your renewal up to two months before expiry without losing any days from your current certificate period, which helps you plan ahead.
A CP12 is the commonly used industry term for a landlord gas safety certificate. It records the details of every gas appliance inspected, the test results, and the engineer's Gas Safe registration number. Your CP12 certificate must be issued by a Gas Safe-registered engineer and renewed every 12 months. City of London landlords should keep their CP12 records for at least two years.
A gas safety certificate in the City of London costs from £75 with EICR Landlord Cert. This fixed price covers the full inspection of all gas appliances, pipework, and flues in your property, plus your completed certificate. We do not charge extra for additional appliances or add call-out fees. The gas safety check cost is clear before we arrive.
A landlord without a valid gas safety certificate faces unlimited fines and up to two years' imprisonment under Section 36 of the Gas Safety Regulations 1998. Local authorities in the City of London can prosecute landlords who fail to arrange annual gas safety checks. You may also be unable to serve valid Section 21 notices and could face civil claims from tenants.
A standard gas safety check takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes for a residential property in the City of London with a boiler and one or two additional gas appliances. Properties with more gas appliances or commercial installations may take longer. The engineer needs access to every gas appliance, flue, and meter during the check.
A gas safety inspection covers all fixed gas appliances in the property. This includes gas boilers, gas hobs, gas cookers, gas fires, gas water heaters, and any gas-connected heating systems. The engineer also inspects flues, pipework connections, ventilation, and the gas meter. Every appliance must be accessible for the inspection to be completed.
No, landlords cannot carry out their own gas safety check. Only a Gas Safe-registered engineer is legally permitted to inspect gas appliances and issue a gas safety certificate. Working on gas installations without Gas Safe registration is illegal and extremely dangerous. City of London landlords must hire a qualified engineer to meet their legal obligations under the 1998 regulations.
A gas safety certificate is valid for 12 months from the date of the inspection. Landlords must arrange a gas safety renewal before the certificate expires to maintain legal compliance. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require City of London landlords to keep gas safety records for a minimum of two years.
No, a gas safety certificate and a boiler service are two separate things. The gas safety check confirms that your boiler and other gas appliances are operating safely. A boiler service involves cleaning, adjusting, and maintaining the boiler for optimal performance and efficiency. City of London landlords may choose to book both at the same time, but the gas safety inspection alone is the legal requirement.
