What Is a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate?
Plain English explanation of what the law requires and what we check.
A CP12, officially called a Landlord Gas Safety Record, is a legal document that confirms all gas appliances, pipework and flues in your rental property have been checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer and are safe. The name CP12 comes from the old British Gas form number and has stuck as the common term, though the official document is now called the Gas Safety Record.
The law that requires it is the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Under this law, if you rent out a property in Scotland that has any gas appliance, you must have a valid gas safety check carried out every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This applies whether you are a private landlord, a housing association or a letting agent managing the property.
The certificate covers every gas appliance in the property. That includes the boiler, any gas fires, gas cookers, gas hobs and any other gas appliance. It also covers the gas pipework, the flues and the ventilation. Our engineer inspects everything, tests everything, and issues the certificate on the same visit.
Who needs one?
Any landlord renting out a property in Glasgow with at least one gas appliance. This includes private landlords, letting agents and housing associations.
How often?
Every 12 months. You can carry out the check up to 2 months early and keep the same renewal date, which is useful for scheduling around tenancies.
What happens to the certificate?
You keep a copy for 2 years. Tenants must receive a copy within 28 days of the check, and new tenants must have a copy before they move in. Digital copies are accepted.
What Our Engineers Check on a CP12 Visit
A full gas safety inspection takes around 30 to 60 minutes depending on the number of appliances. Here is what we check.
Boiler Safety Checks
Combustion analysis, flue integrity, gas pressure, heat exchanger condition, safety devices and overall safe operation.
Gas Pipework
Inspection of all visible gas pipework for soundness, correct installation and signs of damage or corrosion.
Gas Fires
Flame picture, ventilation, flue performance and safe operation check on any gas fires in the property.
Gas Cookers and Hobs
Burner pressure, ignition, flame safety devices and safe operation for any gas cooking appliances.
Flue Performance
Flue flow test to confirm combustion gases are safely leaving the property. Blocked or deteriorating flues are a serious safety risk.
Ventilation
Checking that the property has adequate ventilation for each gas appliance to operate safely.
If our engineer finds a fault during the inspection we explain it clearly and give you an honest quote for the repair. A certificate cannot be issued until any immediately dangerous faults are resolved.
What Happens If You Do Not Have a Valid CP12?
The consequences are serious. This is not a box-ticking exercise.
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, failure to comply can result in a fine of up to £6,000 per offence, a custodial sentence of up to 6 months, invalidation of your landlord insurance policy, and personal liability if a tenant is harmed. A landlord who knowingly rents a property without a valid gas safety certificate is committing a criminal offence.
We see landlords every year who did not realise their certificate had lapsed, or who assumed their letting agent was handling it, or who bought a property and did not know the previous owner's certificate had expired. If you are not sure whether your property is covered, call 07988 591331. We can usually carry out the inspection quickly and get your certificate issued the same day.
Things Glasgow Landlords Often Do Not Know About CP12s
Useful details that can save you time and money.
You can renew up to 2 months early
If you carry out the annual check up to 2 months before the expiry date, the new certificate keeps the same renewal date. Useful if you want to book before a tenancy ends or during a void period.
Digital certificates are accepted
You do not need to post a paper copy to tenants. Electronic delivery is accepted provided the tenant can access it. We issue digital certificates as standard.
You need one per property, not per unit
If you have a house in multiple occupation (HMO) with a shared gas supply, one certificate can cover the whole property. If you have separate properties, each needs its own annual check.
Combine with a boiler service to save money
A CP12 inspection and an annual boiler service can be done in the same visit. The boiler service is more thorough than the safety check alone and keeps your manufacturer warranty valid. Ask us about a combined visit when you call.
Who Mo's Team Carries Out CP12s For
Private Landlords
Single property or portfolio landlords. We carry out the check, issue the certificate and send you a digital copy for your records. Annual reminders available on request.
Letting Agents and Property Managers
We work with letting agents across Glasgow who need reliable, punctual gas safety engineers. We deal directly with tenants for access, report back to you, and can handle multiple properties in one area on the same day.
Portfolio Landlords
If you manage multiple rental properties in Glasgow we can arrange CP12 checks across all of them through one contact. We plan the visits to minimise disruption, deal with tenants directly for access and provide digital certificates for each property. Call 07988 591331 and ask for Mo to discuss a schedule.
New Landlords
If you have just purchased a rental property or are letting for the first time, you need a CP12 before your first tenant moves in. We can usually get out within a few days and issue your certificate on the same visit. If the inspection reveals any faults we will give you a clear quote to fix them.

Certificate Issued Same Day

How Much Does a CP12 Cost in Glasgow?
Honest information about what affects the cost.
Number of appliances
The more gas appliances in the property the longer the inspection takes. A standard property with a boiler only is the most straightforward. Properties with gas fires, gas cookers and hobs take longer.
Combined visit discount
Booking a CP12 check alongside an annual boiler service in one visit saves time and reduces the total cost compared to two separate visits.
Clear price before we come
We give you a clear price when you book, not when we arrive. The price we quote is the price on the invoice.
Call 07988 591331 and tell us the property address and number of gas appliances. We will give you a price on the phone.

“Our radiator pipe was bent and leaking. They answered straight away… Guy was here an hour later and he was wearing ID, very professional, patient and kind. We just got a new carpet in this room and he done an amazing job on getting little to no water on it. Couldn't recommend enough, price was reasonable.”

“We lost heating just in time for the coldest day of the year with a baby in the house… When I contacted them they were ready to dispatch that night. Fixed by the afternoon. Quoted that morning and no extra charges were added. Honestly cannot thank them enough.”
