Gas Safety & CP12 in Bexley

Outer south-east London brings a particular profile to gas safety work in Bexley. The borough covers DA1, DA5, DA6, DA7, DA8, DA14, DA15, DA16, DA17, and DA18, with Bexleyheath sitting at the centre and the older estates of Erith and Belvedere on the riverside fringe. Sidcup Edwardian streets, Welling suburban housing, Crayford post-war stock, and Slade Green industrial-adjacent properties round out the housing mix. Thames Water serves the borough on hard water mains and limescale on heat exchangers is a constant background pressure. We are Gas Safe registered 972173 (verifiable at gassaferegister.co.uk).

Landlords are bound by Regulation 36 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 to arrange an annual check on every fixed gas appliance and flue inside a let property. We issue the CP12, also known as the Landlord Gas Safety Record (LGSR), inside 28 days of the inspection and the tenant must receive their copy within the same 28-day period. We schedule renewals against your existing certificate date so the rolling 12-month cycle never drifts.

The inspection itself covers visual condition and stability of each appliance, working pressure measured in kPa against the manufacturer plate, gas tightness using a calibrated U-tube or digital manometer, flue flow proven with smoke pellets for open-flue boilers and fires, anemometer verification for room-sealed installations where the check is warranted, and ventilation calculation against BS 5440-2 for any open-flue appliance with the property's habitable volume.

Pricing excludes VAT. Standard CP12 with up to three appliances is 125 pounds, each additional appliance is 20 pounds, and combining the CP12 with an annual boiler service brings the total to 210 pounds for the visit (saving 40 pounds against separate trips). For an active leak call National Gas Emergency on 0800 111 999 first and then us for emergency shut-off, pipe repair under BS 6891, and re-certification.
