Does licensing in Barking and Dagenham affect gas safety?

National mandatory HMO licensing applies in Barking and Dagenham as everywhere in England. Councils can add further schemes, so check the current position with Barking and Dagenham Council before letting. Licence conditions commonly require current safety certificates to be available on request, which is why we keep every document digitally against the property.

Is a CP12 the same as a gas safety certificate?

CP12 is a widely used name for the landlord gas safety record. The important point is that the record contains the required information and follows a proper check by an appropriately registered engineer. Its title alone does not establish that the installation is safe.

Does a boiler service include the landlord gas safety check?

Not automatically. A service follows the appliance's maintenance needs, while the landlord check has a specific safety and recording purpose. They can sometimes be arranged together, but confirm both tasks are booked and that you receive the landlord gas safety record.

Gas safety in Barking and Dagenham: the local picture

Becontree houses often have heating installations altered well after their original construction. Before a gas safety visit, identify the current boiler location and every relevant landlord-supplied gas appliance rather than relying on an old room description. Barking flats may also need coordinated entry to reach flues or service spaces. Peachtree Maintenance arranges checks through a Gas Safe registered engineer and retains the correct dwelling reference, with any recorded defect or follow-up recommendation distinguished from the annual gas safety record itself.

What the rules say

Where a rented home has gas appliances, flues or pipework provided by the landlord, the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months. The engineer records the result on a landlord gas safety record.

Existing tenants should receive a copy within 28 days of the check and new tenants before they move in. Records are kept for at least two years. A check carried out up to two months before the due date can keep the original renewal date.
