Landlord Gas Safety Checks & CP12 Certificates
Landlords who provide gas appliances have legal safety duties. This includes annual gas safety checks which must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
TM Hughes & Son provides landlord gas safety checks for rental properties across Essex. We work with private landlords, letting agents and property managers.
Inspections cover gas appliances and flues within the property. They also include relevant safety checks on accessible pipework, ventilation and appliance operation.
After the required checks are completed, we issue a Landlord Gas Safety Record/CP12 certificate. It lists the appliances checked, the results and any safety issues found.
The certificate also includes details of the Gas Safe-registered engineer who completed the inspection.
Our landlord gas safety checks include:
- Gas boiler checks
- Gas fire checks
- Gas cooker and hob checks
- Accessible gas pipework checks
- Flue checks
- Ventilation checks
- Appliance safety tests
- Advice on faults found
- Follow-up repair quotes
- Checks for individual properties
- Checks across rental portfolios
- CP12 certification
If a fault is found, we’ll explain the problem and discuss the next step. Some repairs may be completed during the visit. Some may need parts or a separate appointment. Where further work is needed, we’ll provide a quote.
Landlords and letting agents with several properties can book inspections across different addresses. We send out reminders before the next gas safety check is due.
For more information, read our Landlord Gas Safety Checklist for Essex Rental Properties and What Does a Landlord Gas Safety Check Include?
Boiler Servicing for Rental Properties
A boiler service and a landlord gas safety check are different services.
A gas safety inspection confirms the safety of the appliances and flues checked during the visit.
A boiler service verifies the boiler is safe, helps it run more efficiently, and helps uncover underlying issues.
Many landlords and letting agents choose to arrange both services during the same appointment. This reduces the number of visits and limits disruption for tenants.
Boiler servicing includes:
- A visual boiler inspection
- Safety checks
- Flue checks
- Boiler control checks
- Pressure checks
- Inspection of key components
- Cleaning
- Checks for worn parts
- Service record
- Advice on recommended repairs
We service domestic gas boilers in rental properties across Essex. This includes individual buy-to-let homes and properties within larger portfolios.

Handyman and Property Maintenance Services for Landlords
Rental properties rarely need one repair at a time. A property may need a wall patched, a door adjusted or a room repainted before new tenants arrive.
TM Hughes & Son offers handyman and property maintenance services alongside its plumbing, gas, heating and electrical work.
These services are available for occupied properties and homes between tenancies. We can undertake one job or work through a list of maintenance tasks.

Handyman work is useful when a tenancy ends. It gives landlords time to address wear and tear, damage, and unfinished maintenance before the next tenant moves in.
Preparing Rental Properties Between Tenancies
The gap between tenancies is a useful time to complete inspections, repairs and maintenance. Access is easier when the property is empty.
Landlords and letting agents can handle several tasks before the next tenant moves in.
TM Hughes & Son Gas Services can arrange plumbing, gas, heating and maintenance work during void periods. We can arrange Electrical work through TM Hughes & Son Electrical Services.
Services completed between tenancies can include:
- Landlord gas safety checks (CP12s)
- Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
- Boiler servicing

- Heating repairs
- Plumbing repairs
- Gas appliance checks
- Handyman work
- Decorating
- Property maintenance
- Electrical remedial work

- Air conditioning repairs
Rental properties often need several types of work between tenancies. The boiler may need servicing while a leaking tap and damaged wall also need attention. A CP12 or EICR may also be due before the next tenancy begins.
Arranging this work during the empty period will greatly reduce disruption after the tenant moves in. It may also make access, scheduling and work easier for plumbers, heating engineers and electricians.
