Confirm the landlord-provided gas appliances and inspection scope when booking; repairs are agreed separately. This guide explains the safety record, tenant paperwork and how to prepare for the visit.
CP12 certificate in Battersea: the essentials
For a let property in Battersea (SW11), landlords must arrange a gas safety check every 12 months for the gas appliances and flues they provide, using an appropriately qualified Gas Safe Registered engineer. A boiler service is maintenance and does not replace this check.
What is a CP12 certificate?
CP12 is the commonly used name for a landlord gas safety record. It records the gas safety check and its findings; it is not a boiler warranty or a promise that repairs are included. Check the recorded property and appliances against your tenancy, especially in a building divided into flats.
- Price and inspection scope
- Our annual boiler service and CP12 is £110 fixed. Send the complete landlord-provided gas-appliance list and confirm which appliances the visit covers. Necessary repairs and separate cylinder maintenance are agreed separately.
- Tenant paperwork
- Give existing tenants a copy within 28 days of the check, and new tenants a valid copy before they move in. Keep the records for at least 2 years.
- Access in a Battersea flat
- Arrange tenant, porter or managing-agent access. Check whether heating is communal; even without a private boiler, other landlord-provided gas appliances may need checking. Send the previous record and renewal date.
- If an appliance is unsafe
- Follow the engineer’s safety instructions and arrange corrective work. Issuing a record does not mean an unsafe appliance can be used. Gas smell? Leave the property and call 0800 111 999 first.
How do I arrange a CP12 visit in Battersea?
Send your SW11 postcode, the previous record and renewal date, the landlord-provided gas-appliance list, and tenant or managing-agent access details. Mention communal heating or a separate hot-water cylinder. We call to confirm the appointment, appliance scope and price; an online request does not confirm a visit or guarantee a same-day certificate.

Preparing a let property in Battersea
For a Battersea Park mansion flat, arrange porter or agent access where necessary. Near Northcote Road, list the gas equipment in the let terrace; in newer apartments, check whether communal heating removes the need for a private boiler inspection but leaves other gas appliances to check.
What landlords must arrange
Arrange a gas safety check every 12 months for gas appliances and flues you provide for tenants, using an appropriately qualified Gas Safe Registered engineer. Maintain the gas pipework, appliances and flues in a safe condition between checks. A tenant-owned appliance is treated differently, but your pipework duties still apply.
Renewal dates, tenants and records
Give existing tenants the record within 28 days of the check and new tenants a valid copy before they move in. Keep records for at least two years. A check in the two months before its due date can retain the original annual deadline where the regulatory conditions are met; ask the engineer to confirm the recorded date. Keep evidence of reasonable access attempts if a tenant cannot admit the engineer.
Gas safety check versus boiler service
A landlord gas safety check assesses safety and produces a record; a boiler service is maintenance following the manufacturer's instructions. They are different tasks. Our shared service catalogue lists an annual boiler service and CP12 at £110 fixed. Confirm the appliance list and inspection scope when booking; any necessary repair is agreed separately.
If a fault is found
The engineer explains the findings and any safety action needed. A record is not a promise that a faulty appliance can keep being used. Follow the engineer's instructions, do not reconnect or use an appliance declared unsafe, and arrange corrective work. Do not wait for the next annual check to report gas smells, soot or suspected carbon monoxide.
