Gas Safety Certificates in Gravesend — Landlord CP12 Inspections

Gravesend has a substantial private rental sector — the large post-war estates at Painters Ash, Riverview Park, and Northfleet include a significant proportion of privately rented properties, and the town centre and surrounding streets have a high density of HMOs and bedsit conversions. For landlords managing properties in these areas, the annual CP12 requirement means an annual appointment to organise. The older housing stock that makes up much of Gravesend's rental market tends to have more complex gas safety inspection requirements — properties with multiple gas appliances (a boiler, a gas fire, and a gas cooker) require a thorough inspection of each appliance and its flue and ventilation.

A gas safety inspection covers: boiler (burner condition, flue integrity, combustion analysis, safety devices, pressure checks); gas fires where fitted; gas cooker or hob where present; supply pipework (visual inspection for corrosion or damage); ventilation adequacy for all gas appliances; emergency controls accessibility. On completion, you receive a signed CP12 certificate. This must be given to existing tenants within 28 days of inspection and to new tenants before they move in.

CP12 pricing: single appliance from £74; two appliances from £90; three or more appliances from £110. Portfolio discounts available for landlords with multiple DA11 properties — call to discuss. Many landlords combine the annual boiler service and gas safety inspection in a single visit for better value.
