Landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) in Bolton

Landlords in England must have every gas appliance, flue and pipe in a rented property checked once a year by a Gas Safe registered engineer, give tenants a copy of the record (the CP12) within 28 days, and keep it for two years.

£70

Landlords in England must have every gas appliance, flue and pipe in a rented property checked once a year by a Gas Safe registered engineer, give tenants a copy of the record (the CP12) within 28 days, and keep it for two years. It is a legal duty, and it is also the check that keeps your tenants safe.

We carry out CP12 checks for landlords and letting agents across Bolton, Farnworth, Wigan and Manchester, from a single flat to a whole portfolio. The check costs £70, or it can be combined with a boiler service in the same visit, which saves a second appointment. If anything fails, we explain what and why, make it safe, and give you a clear quote to put it right.

What’s included

  • Every gas appliance, flue and pipe inspected
  • Gas tightness test
  • Flue flow and spillage checks on open-flued appliances
  • Safety devices and ventilation checked
  • CP12 certificate issued: one copy for you, one for your tenants

Good to know

  • The check is due every 12 months. You can have it done up to two months early and keep the original expiry date.
  • Combine it with a boiler service in one visit and save a second appointment.
  • Any faults found are reported with a clear quote to fix them.

Questions about landlord certificates

What does a gas safety check cover?

Every gas appliance you provide, the flues and the pipework: a tightness test, operating pressures, ventilation, flue flow and the safety devices on each appliance. Tenants’ own appliances are not included, but their flues are.

Can my tenant arrange the check instead of me?

The legal duty is the landlord’s. A tenant or agent can let us in, but the certificate is issued to you and it is your responsibility to give them a copy.

What happens if an appliance fails?

We tell you exactly what failed and why. If it is unsafe we isolate it, because we have to, and we give you a clear price to repair or replace it so the property is compliant again.
