Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) in Littlehampton
A CP12, or Landlord Gas Safety Record, is a legal requirement for any rented property with a gas supply. It must be renewed every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and On Heating carries out this work for landlords and letting agents in Littlehampton.
What a CP12 covers
- Required for any rental property with a gas supply
- 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
The check itself covers a visual inspection of gas appliances, a gas tightness test, a flue and ventilation check, and safety device checks. It is a legal obligation under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, not an optional extra, and most landlord insurance policies require a valid certificate to remain valid. Letting one lapse can mean significant fines and legal risk.

Working in Littlehampton
Littlehampton is a West Sussex coastal town at the mouth of the River Arun, with a working harbour and seafront that set it apart from towns further along the coast toward Worthing and Brighton. On Heating carries out gas safety certificate work here for landlords and letting agents, as part of our wider West Sussex coverage.
Littlehampton’s housing and gas appliances
Littlehampton’s housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the harbour to mid-century housing built for the coastal retirement market further out. Older gas appliances and pipework in properties of this age are more likely to need attention alongside the certificate itself, though that depends entirely on the individual property and its history, not the town as a whole.

Littlehampton FAQs
How often do I need a gas safety certificate?
Every 12 months, for as long as the property has a gas supply and is rented out.
How much does a CP12 cost?
We don't quote a fixed price without knowing the property and how many appliances need checking. Get in touch and we can give you a cost based on what's needed.
What happens if my rental property doesn't have a valid certificate?
Landlords are legally required to hold a valid certificate under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Letting it lapse can mean significant fines and legal risk, and may affect your landlord insurance.
Do I need to be present for the gas safety check?
Not necessarily, as long as an adult authorised to grant access, such as a tenant or agent, can let the engineer in. It's worth confirming the details with us when booking.
