Compliance Check

Have you checked your records?

Check if you already have a Gas Safety Certificate or CP12.

Before booking a new inspection, it is worth checking your existing property documents to see if a valid Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) is already in place. These certificates must be renewed every 12 months for rental properties.

Ensuring you have a valid record can save you from paying for a new report unnecessarily. If you still require a new inspection, you can book online with us.
