Does licensing in Kingston upon Thames affect gas safety?

National mandatory HMO licensing applies in Kingston upon Thames as everywhere in England. Councils can add further schemes, so check the current position with Kingston upon Thames 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 Kingston upon Thames: the local picture

Surbiton period conversions and New Malden family houses often have different appliance arrangements even when both use gas central heating. A boiler may be located in a rear extension, utility cupboard or upper floor, so access details matter when arranging a landlord check. Peachtree Maintenance coordinates inspections by Gas Safe registered engineers, with digital certificates retained for the relevant dwelling. In Kingston student houses, agree entry with all affected occupiers rather than relying on one tenant's availability. Any servicing or repair recommendation should be recorded separately from the completed gas safety inspection.

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.
