A first-let flat in Stratford, E15: certificate booked Monday, tenant access arranged Tuesday, digital CP12 issued Wednesday afternoon, tenancy started on schedule.
If you let property in London, the law gives you one non-negotiable annual appointment: a gas safety check on every gas appliance and flue, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, recorded on a Landlord Gas Safety Record (the certificate everyone in the trade still calls a CP12). We complete CP12 inspections across all 32 London boroughs, issue the digital certificate the same day, handle tenant access directly so you never play phone tennis, and offer a combined certificate-plus-boiler-service visit that costs less than booking the two separately. From £75, with automatic renewal reminders before your current record expires.

Call 020 3000 0000The Landlord Gas Safety Record exists for one reason: gas appliances that are neglected can leak carbon monoxide, and tenants cannot see, smell or taste it. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 make the landlord personally responsible for an annual check of every gas appliance and flue in a let property, whether that is one flat above a shop in Walthamstow or forty units across three boroughs.
The consequences of skipping it are not theoretical. An expired certificate can invalidate landlord insurance, block a Section 21 notice (courts have refused possession claims where no valid record was served), and in the worst cases lead to prosecution, unlimited fines and imprisonment. Against that backdrop, a £75 annual inspection is not a compliance cost. It is the cheapest risk management a London landlord will ever buy.
One useful rule many landlords miss: you can renew a CP12 up to two months before it expires and keep the original renewal date. That means no lost days, and it is exactly how our reminder system schedules your renewals, ahead of the deadline rather than after the panic.
A CP12 inspection covers every gas appliance you supply in the property.
A single-appliance certificate starts at £75, a typical flat with a boiler and gas hob runs £85 to £95, and larger properties with three or more appliances sit between £95 and £120. The arrangement most of our landlords choose is the combined visit: CP12 plus annual boiler service in one appointment, one tenant-access negotiation, two documents, priced below booking them separately. Your boiler warranty needs the service anyway; doing both together is simply the efficient version of compliance. Portfolio landlords with three or more properties get portfolio rates and a single schedule across the lot.
You give us the property address and the tenant's contact details, and from that point access is our problem, not yours. We contact the tenant, agree a time that suits them, send a reminder the day before, and turn up in uniform with Gas Safe ID they can check at the door. The inspection takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the number of appliances. The record is completed digitally on site and lands in your inbox the same day, with a copy to your letting agent if you want one. Eleven months later, our reminder reaches you before the expiry date does.
Two properties can be managed from a phone. Ten cannot, and this is where most London landlords quietly lose money: a certificate lapses unnoticed, a tenancy renewal stalls, an insurance question appears at exactly the wrong moment. Our portfolio service turns the whole obligation into a calendar you never have to look at. Every property's certificate and service dates are tracked, renewals are booked automatically inside the two-month early-renewal window so original dates are preserved, and one contact handles the lot, from the studio in Stratford to the HMO in Willesden. Letting agents use the same system for managed portfolios; ask us about agent arrangements.
