Booking
How it works
Our network doesn't yet show confirmed availability in Hammersmith and Fulham. Rather than guess, tell us what the property needs and we'll come back with a real answer — coverage, timing and price — before you decide anything.
The inspection
What the engineer actually checks
The inspection covers three layers: the supply (a tightness test from the meter), the appliances (combustion, pressure, safety devices, ventilation — tested with each appliance running), and the flues (visual condition plus confirmation that combustion gases discharge safely outside). An appliance the tenant owns isn't yours to certify, but pipework serving it is, and it stays in scope. The signed record closes the visit.
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
Two identical adverts can hide very different jobs — one boiler versus four appliances, ground-floor flat versus awkward loft access. That's why we show a guidance range rather than a headline teaser price, and confirm the real figure for your property before you commit. Bundling the annual boiler service into the same visit typically works out cheaper than booking it separately.
The law
The rules behind the certificate
The duty comes from the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, which apply across Great Britain — Northern Ireland has parallel regulations to the same effect. Breaches are criminal offences prosecuted by the HSE, with fines that can be unlimited and imprisonment available for the worst cases. In England, a missing gas record can also invalidate a Section 21 notice, blocking possession until the paperwork is right.
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; London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham is the local housing authority for Hammersmith and Fulham.
Paperwork
Copies, retention and the renewal window
The paperwork rules are as enforceable as the check itself. Give existing tenants their copy within 28 days and new tenants theirs before they move in; keep every record for a minimum of two years; and diarise renewal for the two-month window before expiry — done then, the new record runs from the old expiry date rather than resetting the clock early.
The local picture
Letting in Hammersmith and Fulham: the practical points
Letting in Hammersmith and Fulham doesn't change the gas safety requirements — the same UK-wide regulations apply from the first tenancy onward. Where geography does matter is licensing and enforcement: London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham administers local housing standards and HMO licensing, and a current gas record is standard evidence whenever the council is involved with a rental.
FAQ
What Hammersmith and Fulham landlords ask us
Do the same gas rules apply in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
Yes — the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 apply UK-wide (Northern Ireland has parallel regulations to the same effect). The annual check, the 28-day tenant copy rule and Gas Safe registration requirements are consistent across all four nations.
Who can carry out a gas safety check in Hammersmith and Fulham?
Only an engineer on the Gas Safe Register may legally carry out landlord gas safety checks anywhere in the UK, including Hammersmith and Fulham. Always ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card — you can verify it on the official register.
What is a CP12 gas safety certificate?
CP12 is the industry nickname for the Landlord Gas Safety Record — the document a Gas Safe registered engineer issues after checking each gas appliance, flue and pipework in a rental property. Landlords letting property in Hammersmith and Fulham must have this check done every 12 months.
How long does a gas safety check take?
Typically around 30 to 60 minutes for a property with a boiler and one or two additional gas appliances. More appliances, or access issues, extend the visit.
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 Hammersmith and Fulham book both together because the engineer is already on site, but only the safety check is a legal requirement.
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.
