Booking
What happens when you enquire

The inspection
What the engineer actually checks
A CP12 visit is systematic rather than long: a tightness test on the supply, then every landlord-owned gas appliance tested in turn. The engineer checks that each burns correctly, that safety cut-offs work, that the room has the ventilation the appliance needs, and that flues carry fumes clear of the property. Results, defects and any action taken go on the record, alongside the engineer's Gas Safe registration number — the detail worth verifying.
Credentials
Who you're letting in
Anyone can print an invoice; only a Gas Safe registered engineer can issue a valid landlord gas safety record. That registration — and insurance to back the work — is our non-negotiable bar for professionals we book. The Gas Safe Register is publicly searchable, so you never have to take anyone's word for it, including ours.
Pricing
What a CP12 costs
CP12 pricing is driven by time on site: how many appliances there are, how accessible they are, and whether you combine the check with a boiler service while the engineer is there. Distance and short-notice bookings can add to it. Treat the range shown as guidance for budgeting; the actual price is confirmed up front, not after the visit.
Letting property in Bangor (Northern Ireland)
Letting in Bangor (Northern Ireland): the practical points
The gas rules themselves are national, so nothing about the check is different in Bangor (Northern Ireland) — what's local is the housing enforcement around it. Ards and North Down Borough Council is the housing authority for the area, and if your property needs an HMO licence, the current gas record is the kind of document its conditions will expect you to hold and produce on request.
The law
Why Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) matters for Bangor (Northern Ireland) landlords
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 make the annual check a hard legal duty wherever in the UK you let, Bangor (Northern Ireland) included. The HSE prosecutes failures — penalties are unlimited fines and potentially imprisonment — and in England an expired record blocks a valid Section 21 notice. If the property is a licensed HMO, expect Ards and North Down Borough Council to require the current record as a licence condition too.
Landlords must have every gas appliance and flue they provide checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer at least every 12 months, keep the record for two years, give tenants a copy within 28 days of the check, and give new tenants a copy before they move in.
Equivalent annual duty applies in Northern Ireland; engineers must be Gas Safe registered.
Penalties stated are statutory maximums or court-set; Ards and North Down Borough Council is the local housing authority for Bangor (Northern Ireland).
FAQ
Common questions about the Landlord Gas Safety Record (commonly called a CP12)
How often does a landlord need a gas safety check?
Every 12 months. You can arrange the renewal check any time in the two months before the current record expires and keep the original expiry date — the MOT-style rule — so booking early never shortens your certificate.
How long must I keep gas safety records?
Keep each record for at least two years. Because defects and history can matter in disputes, many landlords keep the full chain of records for the life of the tenancy — digital copies are fine.
My Bangor (Northern Ireland) property has no gas supply — do I still need a CP12?
No. If the property has no gas supply or gas appliances, the gas safety regulations do not apply. If the supply is merely capped but a live meter remains, taking professional advice is sensible before assuming you are exempt.
Is a gas safety check the same as a boiler service?
No. The safety check confirms appliances are safe to use; a service is a maintenance clean and inspection of the boiler itself. Many landlords in Bangor (Northern Ireland) book both together because the engineer is already on site, but only the safety check is a legal requirement.
What if an appliance fails the gas safety check?
The engineer records the defect and classifies how dangerous it is. Immediately dangerous appliances may be disconnected with your permission. You must have faults fixed by a Gas Safe engineer before the appliance is used again; the record itself lists the defects found.
