Gas Safety Inspections in Harlow – Landlord CP12 Requirements
Our engineers regularly conduct gas safety inspections in Harlow, working with private landlords, letting agents, and property managers across the area.
It’s a legal requirement for Landlords to ensure their property is safe for their tenants (the official legislation is at the bottom of this page). Good landlords want their property to be safe anyway, for peace of mind. Your gas system and gas appliances must meet certain safety criteria to ensure safety.
A gas safety inspection in Harlow ensures that your property’s gas supply and appliances meet the required legal standards.
One of our engineers will undertake the safety checks and issue a valid CP12 certificate. The process is swift and minimally disruptive. A CP12 certificate proves your property is safe to your tenants, letting agents and insurers.
Gas safety inspections must be carried out every 12 months, with a new CP12 certificate issued each time. We will also get in touch a couple of months before your certificate expires to remind you not to let it expire.
If an appliance or your gas system fails, we may be able to undertake the repairs there and then (if they are minor); otherwise, we will offer you a quote for the repairs. If repairs are required, we’ll always attempt to do them on the same day.

Gas Safety Regulations For Landlords In Harlow
As a landlord, you are responsible for your tenants’ safety. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 set out landlords’ duties to ensure that gas appliances, fittings and flues provided for tenants are safe.
Appliances, fittings, and flues in a communal area that may be used by tenants are also included.
You are responsible for the maintenance and repair of flues, appliances, and pipework provided for your tenants’ use by a Gas Safe-registered engineer.
Although there is no prescribed timeframe for these duties, good practice would be to demonstrate regular annual maintenance checks and subsequent repairs.
You are also responsible for ensuring that an annual gas safety check is carried out within 12 months of the installation of a new appliance or flue, and thereafter annually by a Gas Safe Registered engineer.
You must keep a record of the safety check for 2 years, issue a copy to each existing tenant within 28 days of the check being completed, and issue a copy to any new tenants before they move in.
Who Is A Landlord?
In relation to domestic gas under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 (GS(IU)R 98), a landlord is anyone who rents out a property they own under a lease of less than 7 years or under a licence.
Regardless of whether you are a landlord under GS(IU)R 98, you may be considered a landlord under other related legislation.
Landlords’ duties apply to a wide range of accommodation, occupied under a lease or licence, which includes, but not exclusively: residential premises provided for rent by local authorities, housing associations, private sector landlords, housing co-operatives, hostels rooms let in bed-sit accommodation, private households, bed and breakfast accommodation and hotels rented holiday accommodation such as chalets, cottages, flats, caravans and narrow boats on inland waterways.
