Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) in Pitsea

For a landlord in Pitsea the job is the same as anywhere in the Basildon area: check every appliance and flue, test the pipework, issue the certificate. What is local is the hard water at 263 ppm, which shortens boiler life without a yearly service, and a housing stock that is 71% mains gas. Our engineers are about 5 minutes away.

A Landlord Gas Safety Certificate, still known as a CP12, is the record of the annual gas safety check the law requires on every gas appliance and flue a landlord provides in a rented property. It must be renewed every 12 months, a copy given to existing tenants within 28 days of the check and to new tenants before they move in, and records kept for two years.

Our Gas Safe registered engineer inspects each appliance, checks the flue and ventilation, tests the pipework for tightness, checks burner pressure and gas rate, tests the safety devices and issues the certificate, emailed to you and, if you want, to your agent. Any defects are listed with a price to put them right.

We work with private landlords and letting agents across Essex. Ask for our landlord rate for a one-off certificate, or take Plan 3 at £12.99 a month, which includes the annual boiler service, the annual certificate, priority call-out and warranty management. Landlords with several properties should ask us about a multi-property rate.
