Whether you’re renting out a property or simply want peace of mind at home, a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is the official confirmation that your gas appliances and pipework are operating safely and legally. At Citywide Plumbers, we simplify the process from start to finish—making it easy to obtain your certificate across London.
Step-by-Step: How to Get a Gas Safety Certificate
1. Know If You Need One
If you’re a landlord, UK law requires you to obtain a Gas Safety Certificate every 12 months. If you’re a homeowner, it’s not legally required but highly recommended to protect your household from gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning.
2. Contact a Gas Safe Registered Company
Only engineers registered with the Gas Safe Register can legally issue a certificate. Citywide Plumbers is fully certified, and all our engineers carry valid Gas Safe IDs for your peace of mind.
