Landlord gas safety certificate (CP12) in Doncaster
Straight answer
A landlord gas safety record — often called a CP12 — is the annual check of gas appliances and flues in a rented home. BPHS issues CP12s in Doncaster from £75. The check must be done by a Gas Safe engineer at least every 12 months. Give existing tenants a copy within 28 days, and new tenants a copy before they move in. Keep records for at least two years.
What the engineer checks
Appliances the landlord provides — typically the boiler, and any gas fire or cooker that comes with the let — plus flues and visible pipework. Tenant-owned appliances are the tenant’s responsibility, but we will flag anything unsafe.
People also ask
Is a gas safety certificate a legal requirement?
Yes, for landlords of homes with gas appliances. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require an annual safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
How long does a CP12 last?
12 months from the date of the check. Book the next one before it expires. A gap can leave you in breach and can affect insurance.
When must tenants get a copy?
Existing tenants within 28 days of the check. New tenants before they occupy the property. Keep the original record — HSE guidance is to retain it until two further checks have been done.
Is a CP12 the same as a boiler service?
No. A CP12 is a safety check of appliances and flues. A service is maintenance. Landlords should do both. We can carry them out on the same visit if you book it that way.
How much is a landlord gas safety certificate in Doncaster?
From £75 for the first appliance, then less for each extra appliance at the same address. Portfolio rates are available if you send the list of properties and renewal months.
