Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need a gas safety certificate?

What appliances are checked during a CP12?
The engineer inspects all gas appliances in the property, including the boiler, gas hob, gas fire, water heater, and any other gas-fuelled equipment. They check for safe operation, adequate ventilation, and that flues are clear.
