Gas Safety Certificate Cost — What Landlords Need to Know

Gas Safety Certificate Costs in Peterborough

A Gas Safety Certificate (officially a CP12) costs between £65 and £90 in Peterborough when carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The inspection covers all gas appliances in the property: boiler, gas hobs, gas fires, and any other gas appliances.

Who Needs a Gas Safety Certificate?

Gas Safety Certificates are a legal requirement for all landlords in England, Scotland, and Wales. You must obtain a new certificate every 12 months and provide a copy to tenants within 28 days of the check, or before they move in if it's a new tenancy.

What Does the Check Include?

• Inspection of all gas appliances (boiler, hobs, fires)
• Flue and ventilation checks
• Gas pressure and tightness testing
• Identification of any immediately dangerous (ID) or at-risk (AR) defects
• Issue of a signed CP12 certificate (which you're legally required to keep for two years)

What Happens if a Fault Is Found?

If the engineer identifies an immediately dangerous fault, they are legally required to disconnect the appliance. You'll receive a written report with any required remedial work before a certificate can be issued.
