The law
Why Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) matters for Haringey landlords
Legally, three things are required of you: a check of every appliance and flue at intervals of no more than 12 months, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer; a record of that check retained for at least two years; and copies to tenants — within 28 days for existing tenants, before move-in for new ones. The regulations apply UK-wide, and the HSE treats non-compliance as a criminal matter with unlimited fines available.
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 Haringey is the local housing authority for Haringey.
Paperwork
Copies, retention and the renewal window
Once the record is issued, three dates matter. Tenant copies: within 28 days for current tenants, before occupation for new ones — and for lets shorter than 28 days, a displayed copy in the property is acceptable. Retention: keep each record at least two years, though holding the full chain is smarter. Renewal: book in the final two months and the MOT-style rule keeps your original expiry date, so early booking never costs you certificate time.
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.
Credentials
Who you're letting in
The credential that matters here is a live Gas Safe registration covering the appliance types in your property — it's what makes the certificate legally worth the paper. We verify it, along with insurance, before a booking is confirmed. No invented review scores on this page; the register is public, and checking it beats any star rating.
The inspection
What the engineer actually checks
The engineer starts at the meter, checking the gas tightness of the whole installation, then works through each appliance: the boiler, any gas fire or hob you supply, and the flues that serve them. Operating pressure, combustion performance, ventilation and flame supervision are all tested; the flue check confirms combustion products actually leave the building. Anything unsafe is classified on the spot, and the visit ends with the record itself — every appliance listed, every result written down.
For landlords in Haringey
Letting in Haringey: the practical points
Letting in Haringey 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 Haringey administers local housing standards and HMO licensing, and a current gas record is standard evidence whenever the council is involved with a rental.
FAQ
Common questions about the Landlord Gas Safety Record (commonly called a CP12)
What does the gas safety record actually include?
It lists each appliance and flue checked, the checks performed, defects found and action taken, the engineer's name, registration number and signature, the property and landlord details, and the date of the check.
Who can carry out a gas safety check in Haringey?
Only an engineer on the Gas Safe Register may legally carry out landlord gas safety checks anywhere in the UK, including Haringey. Always ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card — you can verify it on the official register.
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 Haringey book both together because the engineer is already on site, but only the safety check is a legal requirement.
What if my tenant refuses access for the gas check?
You must take all reasonable steps: written requests, offering alternative dates, and keeping evidence of each attempt. You may not force entry. A documented paper trail of reasonable attempts is what the HSE expects if access is ultimately refused.
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.
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.
