The legal position

Landlords must have every gas appliance and flue checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer, give tenants a copy of the record within 28 days, and keep records for two years. There is no grace period — an expired certificate is a compliance breach from day one.

The check itself takes 30–45 minutes per appliance. Combining the CP12 with the annual boiler service in one visit usually saves £30–£50 against booking them separately.

Common questions

Can any plumber issue a CP12?
No — only a Gas Safe registered engineer whose registration covers the appliance types being checked. You can verify any engineer on the Gas Safe Register, or see it live on a London Heroes Hero Passport.
