Gas Safety Certificate London
Professional Gas Safety Checks for London Landlords
Every London landlord with gas appliances in their rental property must hold a valid gas safety certificate renewed every 12 months.

At EICR Landlord Cert, our Gas Safe registered engineers carry out annual gas safety checks across all 32 London boroughs, with CP12 certificates from £75 and same-day availability.
We are fully insured with public liability cover, and every engineer carries a Gas Safe Register ID card, is approved for the specific appliance types they inspect, and operates to the standards set out in the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and the Approved Code of Practice L56. Whether you need a standard annual gas safety check for a single-bedroom flat or a commercial gas safety inspection across an HMO portfolio, our expert, reliable engineers deliver a thorough inspection at a fixed price with no hidden fees.

Gas Safety Check Cost London
Gas safety certificate costs in London start from £75 for a standard property with one boiler and one or two additional appliances. Pricing is based on the number of gas appliances in the property, with no travel supplements within Greater London and no hidden fees of any kind. A one or two-bedroom flat with a combi boiler is typically priced between £75 and £95. Properties with a separate boiler, gas fire, gas hob, and gas cooker are priced slightly higher to reflect the additional appliances inspected.
All pricing includes VAT, the engineer visit, the full inspection, and the digital CP12 certificate issued on the day. Landlords managing multiple rental properties across London benefit from portfolio pricing, which reduces the individual cost of each annual gas safety check across their full address list. Same-day appointments are available across all London boroughs, including East London, North London, South London, West London, and Central London, at no additional charge.

Gas Safety Regulations London
The gas safety regulations London landlords operate under are among the most stringent compliance requirements in the private rented sector, and local authorities actively enforce them across all 32 London boroughs. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require every landlord to arrange an annual gas safety inspection from a Gas Safe registered engineer, retain the completed Gas Safety Record for a minimum of two years, and supply a copy to every tenant in the property.
The Approved Code of Practice L56, published by the Health and Safety Executive, provides detailed guidance on how landlords must meet their legal obligations. The Housing Act 2004 gives local authorities additional enforcement powers to act where a property poses a risk to occupants, and serious non-compliance can result in improvement notices and emergency remedial action orders. A landlord who lets a property without a valid gas safety certificate, or who allows a condemned appliance to remain in service, commits a criminal offence under Section 36 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and can face unlimited fines and up to two years imprisonment.

What Does a Gas Safety Check Involve London
A gas safety check in London is a systematic assessment of every gas appliance, flue, and fitting in your rental property, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer to the standard required by the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. The inspection covers combustion performance testing, carbon monoxide risk assessment, flue integrity inspection, ventilation verification, and a gas tightness test on all pipework and connections throughout the property. The engineer checks every gas appliance for correct operation, adequate draught, and safe pressure and tests the gas meter connection and all accessible pipework for leaks.
Once every appliance has been inspected and tested, the engineer completes the CP12 Gas Safety Record, documenting each appliance’s details, the results of every test performed, any defects identified, and whether each appliance is safe for continued use. Appliances that are found to be unsafe are condemned and must not be used until repaired or replaced by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The completed CP12 is issued to the landlord digitally the same day, ready to present to tenants and local authorities across any London borough.

- We provide your Gas Safety Record as a digital PDF immediately after the inspection, ready to share with tenants, letting agents, and local authorities across any London borough.
Gas Safety Certificate London FAQs
A gas safety certificate, formally called a Gas Safety Record or CP12, is an official document issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer after a thorough annual inspection of all gas appliances, flues, and fittings in a property. It confirms that every appliance is operating safely and is fit for continued use.
London landlords must renew their gas safety certificate every 12 months without exception. There is no grace period under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, and an expired certificate means the tenancy is non-compliant. New tenants must receive a copy before moving in, and existing tenants must receive a copy within 28 days of each annual inspection being completed. A landlord with an out-of-date certificate commits a criminal offence.
A CP12 is the informal name for the Gas Safety Record, the document produced by a Gas Safe registered engineer after completing an annual gas safety check. The name comes from Corgi Proforma 12, used before the Gas Safe Register replaced CORGI as the official registration body in 2009. Today the CP12 and gas safety certificate are the same document, and it is the record London landlords must obtain, retain for two years, and provide to tenants.
Gas safety certificates in London start from £75 at EICR Landlord Cert. A standard one or two-bedroom flat with a combi boiler is typically priced between £75 and £95. Properties with additional gas appliances are priced slightly higher. All prices are fixed, include VAT, and cover the engineer visit, the full annual gas safety inspection, and the digital CP12 certificate issued the same day. There are no call-out charges or hidden fees within any London borough.
A landlord operating without a valid gas safety certificate commits a criminal offence under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. The Health and Safety Executive can prosecute under Section 36, with penalties including unlimited fines and up to two years imprisonment. Local authorities may also take enforcement action under the Housing Act 2004. Beyond the legal risk, a landlord without a gas safety certificate exposes tenants to undetected gas leaks and carbon monoxide hazards.
A standard annual gas safety check in London takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes for a typical property with one boiler and one or two additional appliances. Properties with multiple gas appliances, including separate gas fires, gas hobs, and gas water heaters, may take up to two hours. Our engineers work efficiently to minimise disruption, and the digital CP12 certificate is issued the same day once the inspection is complete and all results are recorded.
Our Gas Safe registered engineer checks every gas appliance in the property, typically including the boiler, gas hob or cooker, gas fire, gas water heater, and any other gas-connected appliance present. The inspection also covers flues, gas pipework from the meter, all valves and connections, ventilation arrangements, and operating pressure throughout. Any condemned appliance or identified gas leak is actioned immediately in line with Gas Safe Register procedures and the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
No. A gas safety check must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer who holds the appropriate Gas Safe qualification for the specific appliance types being inspected. A landlord who carries out their own inspection or uses an unregistered person commits a criminal offence under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Any certificate produced by an unregistered engineer is legally invalid and will not satisfy local authority compliance requirements in London.
A gas safety certificate is valid for 12 months from the date the inspection was carried out. After this period, a new annual gas safety check must be arranged, and a new CP12 issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer. There is no provision to extend or renew the existing certificate. A full fresh inspection is required each year.
No. A gas safety certificate and a boiler service are two separate services. The annual gas safety inspection checks that all appliances are operating safely and are legally compliant, but it does not include cleaning, servicing, or routine maintenance of the boiler or any other appliance. Many London landlords choose to combine both visits for convenience. Contact us to arrange a combined annual gas safety check and boiler service London appointment at a fixed price across any London borough.
