If you’re living in or renting out a flat in Earls Court, one key legal obligation you cannot ignore is the Gas Safety Certificate (CP12). This crucial document is not only about ticking a legal box – it’s about protecting lives, preventing carbon monoxide leaks, and ensuring peace of mind.
At Citywide Plumbers, we specialise in issuing Gas Safety Certificates for flats across Earls Court. Whether you’re a landlord with multiple tenants or a homeowner simply looking for reassurance, our Gas Safe registered engineers are ready to help.
Why is a Gas Safety Certificate Needed for Flats?
Flats, especially in older Victorian conversions like many in Earls Court, often have complex or shared plumbing and gas systems. This increases the potential for undetected gas faults. A Gas Safety Certificate is required by law if:
-
You are a landlord renting out your flat (even a single room with gas appliances).
-
Your flat has a gas boiler, hob, or fireplace.
-
You are about to sell your property, and the buyer requests up-to-date gas documentation.
Citywide Plumbers ensures all checks are carried out professionally and swiftly, so you stay compliant and safe.
What Does the Gas Safety Inspection Cover?
When our Citywide Plumbers engineer visits your flat in Earls Court, here’s what they’ll check:
-
Boilers, hobs, and fires for correct operation and safety.
-
Flues and ventilation systems to ensure safe gas exhaust.
-
Pipework for signs of corrosion, leaks, or wear.
-
Gas meters and pressure to confirm everything is functioning within safe limits.
You’ll receive a digital or printed CP12 certificate shortly after the inspection – valid for 12 months.
Flatshares, Sublets, and Landlord Responsibilities
Landlords in Earls Court must renew their Gas Safety Certificate annually. If you’re subletting or managing a flatshare, it’s your legal duty to arrange this. Failing to provide a valid certificate can lead to fines, invalidated insurance, or even criminal charges.
Citywide Plumbers works closely with landlords and letting agents to schedule yearly reminders and ensure compliance is never missed.
Special Considerations for Earls Court Properties
Earls Court has a mix of Georgian terraces, Victorian conversions, and modern flats. Older buildings may have outdated systems, while modern flats often rely on combi boilers. At Citywide Plumbers, we tailor every inspection to your property’s age, layout, and gas setup.
Plus, many flats in Earls Court are leasehold – in such cases, freeholders or managing agents may require a copy of the gas certificate for their records.
