Landlord Gas Safety Certificates in Kent

If you let a property with a gas boiler or other gas appliances, you are legally required to have them inspected annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer and to hold a valid gas safety certificate — commonly known as a CP12. This is not optional, and the consequences of non-compliance are serious.

HGB Heating Kent provides gas safety certificates for landlords across Kent. We work with individual landlords managing a single property and property management companies with portfolios of 60+ homes. Our engineers carry out the inspection promptly, issue paperwork on the same day, and keep records so we can remind you when your next inspection is due.

The Legal Obligation

Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must:

Arrange an annual gas safety check of all gas appliances and flues in the property, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Keep a record of each safety check for at least two years.

Provide a copy of the safety check record to existing tenants within 28 days of the check.

Provide a copy to new tenants before they move in.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Fines of up to £6,000 per offence. In serious cases — criminal prosecution. There have been cases of landlords receiving custodial sentences following CO incidents in properties without valid gas safety certificates.

What the Inspection Covers

Our Gas Safe engineers inspect all gas appliances and fittings in the property:

Boiler

Full safety and operational checks, combustion analysis, flue inspection

Gas cooker / hob

Burner operation, flame safety, isolation valve (if present)

Gas fire

Burner condition, flue and ventilation, safety controls (if present)

Gas pipework

Visible pipework checked for condition and any evidence of leaks

Emergency controls

Correct location and operation of meter isolation valve

The CP12 certificate is issued to you on the same day as the inspection.

Gas Safety Certificate FAQs

Every 12 months. The law requires annual checks for all gas appliances in rental properties.

You must give a copy to existing tenants within 28 days of the check, and to new tenants before they move in.

You are breaking the law. Penalties include fines up to £6,000 per offence and, in cases where a CO incident occurs, potential criminal prosecution. Some insurance policies also require valid certificates.

Tenants can decline access, but landlords must make reasonable attempts to gain access. Keep records of all attempts to arrange access — this demonstrates compliance even if access is refused.

Yes. All gas appliances in the rental property must be checked, not just the boiler.

We issue the CP12 certificate on the same day as the inspection. You'll have the documentation immediately after the engineer's visit.
