  • Must be renewed every 12 months
  • A copy must be given to tenants within 28 days of the inspection
  • Can only be issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer

Why it matters

A CP12 is a legal obligation for landlords under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, not an optional extra. It protects tenant safety, and most landlord insurance policies require a valid certificate to remain valid. Letting a certificate lapse can mean significant fines and legal risk.

What’s inspected

  • Visual inspection of gas appliances
  • Gas tightness test
  • Flue and ventilation check
  • Safety device checks

The nicest tradesperson in Brighton!Checkatrade 10/10

Lee is the nicest tradesperson we used whilst living in Brighton. He fitted a new boiler for us about 8 years ago and serviced it every year since as well as doing gas safety checks and servicing a gas fire. Lovely person and great at what he does and we would highly recommend him. We have sadly moved from Brighton but will recommend him to our buyers. Thanks so much Lee!

New boiler at short notice and gas certification.Checkatrade 10/10

Lee was scheduled to do a minor repair on the boiler just before tenants were due to arrive. It quickly became evident the boiler needed replacing. Lee managed to drop everything and source and replace the boiler on the same day. Can't thank him enough for an excellent job above and beyond the call of duty.

Ive used pierson heating twice now, first time was a simple heating problem and he charged me very fairly as it only took him 5 mins to fix. second time was for an incredibly comprehensive safety check on all my gas appliances and to fit a thermostat. fair price and an honest technician. as a landlord and on my personal property i couldn't give a higher recommendation
