What we do

Landlord Gas Safety (CP12) in Sale

If you let a property in Sale with gas appliances, the law requires a safety check on every gas appliance and flue every 12 months, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Nelson Plumbing & Heating carries out landlord gas safety checks and issues the CP12 (the Landlord Gas Safety Record) across Sale and Greater Manchester, for single properties or a whole portfolio. We arrange access around your tenant, keep clear records, and can remind you before the next one falls due.

  • Annual landlord gas safety checks (CP12)
  • Every gas appliance and flue tested, not just the boiler
  • Boilers, gas fires, cookers and hobs
  • The CP12 (Landlord Gas Safety Record) issued
  • Single properties or full portfolios
  • Any remedial work quoted before it goes ahead

When you need landlord gas safety (cp12)

How it works

What actually happens

1

Book around the tenant

We arrange access at a time that suits the tenant, and can deal with them or your letting agent directly so you do not have to.

2

Check every appliance

Each gas appliance and flue is inspected and tested against the current gas safety regulations, not just the boiler.

3

Test and record

A tightness test on the gas installation and combustion checks on the appliances. Anything unsafe is flagged there and then.

4

Certificate issued

You get the CP12 to pass to your tenant, and we can set a reminder for next year so it never lapses.

How long it takes. A CP12 on a typical flat or house with a boiler and a hob is usually under an hour. A larger property with a boiler, a gas fire and a cooker takes longer. If we find a fault, we quote the remedial work separately before carrying it out.

Worth knowing

Landlord gas safety: what the law actually requires

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 put clear legal duties on landlords in England and Wales. Getting them wrong is a criminal offence, not a paperwork slip. Here is what you are responsible for:

The annual check
Every gas appliance and flue in the property must be checked for safety by a Gas Safe registered engineer at least every 12 months.
The CP12 record
You must give a copy of the Landlord Gas Safety Record to existing tenants within 28 days of the check, and to any new tenant before they move in.
Keep the records
You must keep a copy of each record until two further checks have been carried out, which in practice means at least two years.
You can check early
A new check can be carried out up to two months before the current one expires without losing the original expiry date, so a certificate never has to lapse between tenancies.
Carbon monoxide alarms
A CO alarm is required in any room used as living accommodation that contains a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers), and must be repaired or replaced when a tenant reports it faulty.
Maintenance is separate
The regulations also require gas appliances, pipework and flues to be maintained in a safe condition. A safety check confirms safety on the day, it is not the same as a service.
A safety check (CP12) is not the same as a boiler service. The check confirms the appliance is safe today, a service cleans and maintains it. Many landlords buy the check and assume they have had a service, they have not. We will tell you clearly which you are getting, and can do both in one visit.

Covering Sale

Sale is a short run from our Salford base, so we can usually get to you quickly. We cover Brooklands, Ashton on Mersey, Sale Moor and the wider M33 postcodes.

Sale is largely semi detached and terraced family housing, much of it interwar, with the classic three bed layout and a single bathroom. It is combi territory for the most part, though the larger properties around Brooklands and Ashton on Mersey often benefit from a system boiler and a cylinder instead.

Questions

Landlord Gas Safety (CP12) in Sale, answered

Do you cover Sale?

We are a Salford based company (M3 6GB) with Gas Safe registered engineers working right across Greater Manchester. Sale is a short run from our Salford base, so we can usually get to you quickly.

Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?

Yes. Every gas job Nelson Plumbing & Heating carries out in Sale is completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Gas Safe registration is a legal requirement for anyone working on gas appliances in the UK, and it means the engineer has been assessed as competent on the specific type of work they are doing. You are welcome to ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card when they arrive, and you should ask that of any engineer who comes to your home. The card shows a licence number and the exact categories of work they are qualified for.

How much does landlord gas safety (cp12) cost in Sale?

The honest answer is that it depends on the job, and any company that gives you a firm price over the phone without seeing it is guessing. What changes the price for landlord gas safety (cp12) is mainly: the number of gas appliances in the property; whether it is a cp12 only, or a cp12 plus a boiler service in the same visit; access to the meter and the appliances. What we do instead is give you a fixed price before any work starts, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay. As one customer put it: "the job was exactly how much they quoted for, no scary surprises." For a free, no obligation quote in Sale, call 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk.

How long does landlord gas safety (cp12) take?

A CP12 on a typical flat or house with a boiler and a hob is usually under an hour. A larger property with a boiler, a gas fire and a cooker takes longer. If we find a fault, we quote the remedial work separately before carrying it out. Every job is different, so when we quote for landlord gas safety (cp12) in Sale we will also tell you realistically how long we will be, and whether we need more than one visit. We would rather tell you honestly up front than turn up and disappear halfway through.

How quickly can you get to me in Sale?

Nelson Plumbing & Heating works out of Salford, so most of Sale is a short run for our engineers. For genuine emergencies, a burst pipe, no hot water, a boiler lockout, we prioritise the call and aim to get someone out as fast as we can, and we will talk you through making the property safe while we are on the way. For planned work such as an installation or an annual service in Sale, we will book a slot that suits you. Call 0161 515 9977 and the team will tell you honestly when they can be with you rather than promise something they cannot keep.

What is included in the price?

For landlord gas safety (cp12) in Sale, the fixed price we quote includes: a gas safe registered engineer, id card shown; every gas appliance and flue in the property checked; a tightness test on the gas installation; the cp12 (landlord gas safety record) document; a clear flag on anything that fails or is borderline. If we find something during the job that genuinely changes the scope, we stop and tell you before we carry on, we do not simply add it to the bill at the end. Nelson Plumbing & Heating is a limited company (number 13649684) and we are members of Checkatrade and TrustATrader.

Do you work with landlords and letting agents in Sale?

Yes. We carry out landlord gas safety checks (CP12 certificates), servicing and repairs for landlords and letting agents across Sale and Greater Manchester. If you let a property with gas appliances you are legally required to have every gas appliance and flue checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months, to give the tenant a copy of the record within 28 days, and to keep copies for at least 2 years. We can handle single properties or a portfolio. Call 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk.

If your postcode sits just outside that, it is still worth calling on 0161 515 9977, we will tell you straight away whether we can get to you rather than take the booking and let you down.
