Local insights

Gas safety / CP12 in Camden: the local picture.

Camden gas safety inspections cross some of the most demanding housing in London. The borough covers NW1, NW3, NW5, WC1, N6, N7, and N19, taking in Bloomsbury Georgian terraces, the Edwardian mansion blocks of Belsize Park, Victorian conversions in Kentish Town, grand Hampstead villas, the Camden Town rental stock, and Holborn period flats. Hampstead high ground gives mains pressure that runs hot at the meter (sometimes over 5 bar) which feeds directly into the working pressure readings on each appliance. Our Gas Safe registration is 972173 (verifiable at gassaferegister.co.uk).

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 (GSIUR 1998) place the annual inspection duty on the landlord under Regulation 36. The Landlord Gas Safety Record (also called the CP12) is issued within 28 days of the check and tenants receive their copy inside the same 28-day window. New tenants get a copy on move-in. Mansion-block leasehold rules across NW3 mean we coordinate with managing agents on access, and the Bloomsbury and Hampstead conservation areas dictate that any follow-up carcassing work uses period-appropriate fittings and routes.

The inspection covers visual condition of each appliance, working pressure in kPa against the manufacturer data plate, a let-by and gas tightness test using a calibrated U-tube or digital manometer, flue flow proven with smoke pellets for open-flue appliances and anemometer for room-sealed plant, and BS 5440-2 ventilation calculation for every open-flue installation.

Pricing excludes VAT. CP12 with up to three appliances is 125 pounds, each extra appliance 20 pounds, CP12 plus annual boiler service is 210 pounds, second boiler at the same visit 95 pounds. For an active leak call National Gas Emergency on 0800 111 999 first, then us for shut-off, BS 6891 carcassing repair, and re-certification.

FAQ

Gas safety / CP12 in Camden: your questions

How quickly can you complete a CP12 in Camden mansion blocks?
Most single-appliance CP12s in Hampstead, Belsize Park and Kentish Town are finished inside an hour, and we keep same-day slots for landlord turnover across NW1 to NW5. Mansion-block visits are coordinated with the porter so flats are accessed back-to-back where the freeholder requires a shared LGSR run.
Does Camden licensing or mansion-block rules change the LGSR scope?
Camden operates additional HMO licensing across parts of the borough and an active discretionary scheme; a current LGSR is required at application. Mansion blocks in NW3 often require a single coordinated LGSR run across multiple flats for the freeholder, with each appliance itemised separately on the record.
Which gas network covers Camden and where are mansion-block meters?
Camden sits on the Cadent Gas central London network; gas emergencies route to 0800 111 999. Mansion blocks in Belsize Park and Marylebone fringe typically have meter banks in basement risers; the building's porter holds the cupboard key and accompanies the engineer for the LGSR.
What does a Camden CP12 visit cost?
Camden sits in our City T1 zone at GBP 85 per 30 minutes with a one-hour minimum on labour calls. The CP12 set price is GBP 94.80 and the CP12 plus boiler service combination is GBP 178.80. All figures exclude VAT and are confirmed in writing before dispatch.
How can a Camden landlord verify the engineer's credentials?
We operate under Gas Safe Register registration 972173, and every engineer carries a personal Gas Safe ID card with photo, registration number and licensed appliance categories. Both records can be checked at gassaferegister.co.uk before flat access is granted.
