How Our CP12 Gas Safety Check Works

We believe in full transparency, which is why our gas inspection process is designed to be thorough and easy to understand. When our Gas Safe registered engineer arrives at your rental property, they follow a rigorous step-by-step procedure to evaluate every gas appliance on-site, from central heating boilers to gas fires and cookers. Visual Inspections: We assess the physical condition of all gas fittings, pipework, and appliances to identify any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Operational Checks: We test the standing and working gas pressure, ensuring appliances are burning gas safely and at the correct rate. Flue and Ventilation Testing: We check that flues are clearing combustible gases safely outside and that the property has adequate ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide build-up. Safety Device Analysis: Every appliance safety device is tested to ensure it triggers correctly in the event of a fault. Once the boiler safety check and appliance inspections are complete, we immediately issue your Landlord Gas Safety Certificate. If any faults are found, we provide clear, actionable advice on the necessary repairs to restore compliance without delay.

Why Choose Fact Services For Your Landlord Gas Safety Certificates?

The Benefits of Professional CP12 Certification

Securing a professional CP12 certificate from Fact Services does more than just tick a legal box; it actively protects both your property investment and your tenants. The primary benefit is absolute peace of mind. Knowing that your gas systems have been tested by accredited local experts means you can sleep soundly, free from the worry of carbon monoxide risks or dangerous gas leaks. Regular gas inspections also help maintain the efficiency and longevity of the appliances within your property. Identifying minor faults during a CP12 check can prevent catastrophic boiler breakdowns right when winter hits, saving you from expensive emergency call-outs and unhappy tenants. A healthy heating system also runs more efficiently, a major selling point for prospective renters conscious of their energy bills. Finally, a valid certificate is vital for your landlord insurance. In the event of property damage caused by a gas fault, most insurers will immediately ask to see your current CP12. Without it, your policy could be invalidated, leaving you financially liable. Protect your investment by arranging your inspection with our trusted team.

Local Compliance & Gas Safety Standards

Navigating UK legislation can be complex, but as an expert local provider, Fact Services ensures you remain firmly on the right side of the law. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords are legally required to have all gas appliances, pipework, and flues checked by a Gas Safe engineer every 12 months. This is not optional; failure to comply can result in severe penalties, including hefty fines and even criminal prosecution. In addition to national laws, our engineers ensure all installations comply with the latest UK Building Regulations, including Part G and Part J, which govern sanitation, hot water safety, and combustion appliances. We are highly experienced in working within the guidelines set out by Wolverhampton City Council building control, ensuring that any new flues or external alterations meet local planning requirements, particularly in conservation areas. By law, you must provide a copy of the new CP12 certificate to existing tenants within 28 days of the check, and to any new tenants before they move in. You must also retain these records for at least two years. When you choose Fact Services, we provide secure, easy-to-read documentation to help you manage your record-keeping effortlessly.

What is a CP12 certificate?

+

A CP12 (CORGI Proforma 12) is the official name for the Landlord Gas Safety Record. It is a document that proves a Gas Safe registered engineer has inspected the gas appliances and pipework in a rental property and confirmed they are safe for use.

How often do I need a Gas Safety Certificate in Wolverhampton?

+

You must have a new inspection every 12 months. You can arrange the check up to two months before the current certificate expires without losing the original expiry date—similar to an MOT for a car.

Do I need a CP12 if the property only has a gas hob?

+

Yes. Even if the heating is electric, if there is any gas appliance or gas supply pipework in the property, you must have a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate. This includes gas hobs, ovens, or gas-fired water heaters.

What happens if my property fails the safety check?

+

If an appliance is unsafe, the engineer will explain the fault and, depending on the severity, may have to disconnect it. We will provide a clear explanation of what is needed to make it safe and offer a quote for the necessary repairs to get your certificate issued.

Are tenants responsible for gas safety checks?

+

No, the legal responsibility lies entirely with the landlord. However, tenants are responsible for allowing the engineer access to the property to perform the check.
