If you’re a landlord or homeowner in Maida Vale, you’ll likely need a CP12 certificate, also known as a Gas Safety Certificate. Whether it’s a legal requirement or for your own peace of mind, understanding what influences the cost of a CP12 is essential.
At Citywide Plumbers, we focus on delivering value, safety, and transparency — with no hidden charges, ever.
What Is a CP12 Certificate?
A CP12 is a formal document issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer after a complete inspection of gas appliances and pipework in your property. It ensures everything is compliant with safety regulations, particularly for rented homes.
While landlords are legally required to have one renewed every 12 months, it’s also a wise step for homeowners who wish to confirm their gas systems are functioning safely.
What Affects the Cost of a CP12?
The total cost of your CP12 certificate may depend on factors such as:
-
The number of gas appliances (boilers, cookers, gas fires, etc.)
-
The size and type of your property
-
The condition and accessibility of gas systems
-
Whether urgent or out-of-hours service is needed
At Citywide Plumbers, we discuss all this with you beforehand, providing a fixed quote based on your property and needs.
