Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12)
Etchells Plumbing Services provides Landlord Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) — formally a Landlord Gas Safety Record — for rented domestic properties across South Birmingham, Bromsgrove district, Hagley and the corridor towards Kidderminster and Bewdley.
This is a core part of the business alongside boiler and heating work. The check and the written record must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Our registration number is 227442 — see how to verify.
What the certificate is for
Landlords have a legal duty to arrange gas safety checks on gas appliances and flues provided for tenants, and to keep a record of those checks. The document issued after a satisfactory inspection is widely known as a CP12 certificate.
The visit covers the gas appliances and flues in the rented property as required for the Landlord Gas Safety Record. We do not restate individual Gas Safe competence categories here; the work is carried out within our registration.
Landlords and agents vs homeowners
CP12 work is aimed at landlords and letting agents. If you own and live in the property and the boiler has broken down, you need boiler repair or boiler installation rather than a landlord certificate. If an appliance needs installing as part of preparing a rental, gas cooker installation may also apply.
What to expect
We arrange access with you or the tenant, inspect the relevant gas appliances and flues, and issue the Landlord Gas Safety Record when the check is complete. If a fault is found that means an appliance cannot safely remain in use, that is explained clearly so you can decide on repair or replacement.
We do not publish fixed prices or guaranteed turnaround times on this page. Call or send the property details and we will confirm coverage for the postcode.

Common questions
What is a CP12 landlord gas safety certificate?
CP12 is the common name for a Landlord Gas Safety Record. It is the written record of a gas safety check on appliances and flues in a rented property, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Who needs a landlord gas safety certificate?
Landlords and letting agents responsible for rented properties with gas appliances need a valid gas safety record. Homeowners who are not letting the property usually do not need a CP12 for their own use.
Does a Gas Safe registered engineer have to do the check?
Yes. The inspection and the record must be completed by a suitably Gas Safe registered engineer. You can check our registration number on the official Gas Safe Register.
What should I have ready when booking a CP12?
The property address and postcode, access arrangements for the tenant or keyholder, and a note of which gas appliances are in the property. If a previous certificate is available, that helps with continuity.
