Gas safety certificate prices
Fixed prices including VAT.

| Each additional gas appliance on the same certificate | +£48 |
The standard price covers the boiler and, if there is one, a gas hob or oven. Any other gas appliances in the same property, such as a second hob, a gas fire or a second boiler, are £48 each on the same certificate. No travel charge within 15 km of our base in Cambridge. For the distance beyond 15 km (one way), up to 25 km, travel is £2 per km + VAT (£2.40 per km including VAT), so never more than £24 including VAT. Further out, please call us first.
What landlords need to know
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must:
- Have every gas appliance, fitting and flue checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months
- Give existing tenants a copy of the gas safety record within 28 days of the check
- Give new tenants a copy before they move in
- Keep records for at least two years
- Make sure appliances are maintained in a safe condition, which usually means an annual service too
We send reminders before your next certificate is due, so nothing slips.
What we check
- Gas tightness test on the installation
- Boiler, cooker, hob and gas fire safety checks
- Flue flow and spillage tests
- Ventilation and safety devices
- Burner pressure or gas rate
- Carbon monoxide alarm present and working (recommended)
If we find something unsafe
As Gas Safe registered engineers we must follow the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. This is what happens if an appliance isn’t safe.
At Risk
Could become dangerous
One or more faults have been found that could be a danger to life or property without further faults developing.
- Appliance labelled “Danger Do Not Use” and a gas warning notice emailed to you with the details
- We ask the responsible person for permission to turn off the gas to the appliance. You can refuse, but we strongly recommend getting it repaired as soon as possible
- If nobody responsible is present, we turn the appliance off at the electrical isolator and gas valve or meter
- A quote for the repair where possible
Immediately Dangerous
A danger to life if left on
The appliance or installation is an immediate danger to life and property if it keeps running.
- Appliance labelled “Danger Do Not Use” and a gas warning notice emailed to you with the details
- With your permission we disconnect it, and it can’t be used until it’s repaired and made safe
- If permission is refused, we must report it to the gas emergency service (Cadent), which has legal powers to disconnect the supply
- If nobody responsible is present, we disconnect it from the gas supply
- A quote for the repair where possible
Faults on the gas meter are handled by the gas emergency service, Cadent. We’ll tell you if this applies. You’ll need to call Cadent on 0800 111 999, and they usually arrive within two hours. Depending on the problem, our engineer may need to come back afterwards to restore your supply. Please contact us to book this.
Because we can’t foresee these situations, the booked visit is charged as normal. Any further visits to fix the problem are chargeable, and we’ll send you a quote first.
Buying a home?

Gas safety certificate FAQs
Answers to the questions we’re asked most.
How much is a gas safety certificate?
A CP12 is £109 including VAT for the boiler plus one gas hob or oven. Combined with a boiler service on the same visit it’s £139. Additional gas appliances are £48 each.
How long is a gas safety certificate valid?
12 months. Landlords must renew it every year.
Can I renew it early without losing time?
Yes. A check carried out within the last two months before the deadline keeps the original renewal date.
What does the £109 cover?
The boiler plus one gas hob or oven, if there is one. Each additional gas appliance in the same property on the same certificate, for example a gas fire or a second hob, is £48.
Can you collect keys from us or the agent?
We don’t collect or drop off keys. We arrange a time with your tenants, or with someone who can meet us at the property and let us in.
Do homeowners need a gas safety check?
It isn’t a legal requirement for owner-occupiers, but it’s a sensible check. If you’re buying a home, our more detailed homebuyer plumbing and heating report is a better fit.
Is a CP12 the same as a boiler service?
No. A gas safety check confirms appliances are safe to use. A service cleans and maintains the boiler. Our landlord pack does both.
What happens if an appliance fails?
We follow our unsafe situations procedure. Depending on whether it’s At Risk or Immediately Dangerous, we label it, email you a gas warning notice, turn it off or disconnect it with your permission, and quote for the repair. The booked visit is still charged. See If we find something unsafe above.
