Gas Safety & CP12 in Croydon

Local insights
Gas safety / CP12 in Croydon: the local picture.
Gas safety work in Croydon covers CR0, CR2, CR3, CR4, CR5, CR7, CR8, SE19, and SE25, taking in the 1930s suburbs that ring the town centre, the post-war Croydon centre itself, Edwardian streets across South Croydon and Purley, and the modern stock in Thornton Heath, Norbury, Selsdon, and Addiscombe. SES Water (Sutton and East Surrey) serves the borough on hard chalk-aquifer mains, and the pressure profile sits slightly differently to Thames Water inner London, which factors into appliance working pressure readings. We are Gas Safe registered 972173 (verifiable at gassaferegister.co.uk).
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 (GSIUR 1998), specifically Regulation 36, set out the annual inspection duty for landlords on every appliance and flue serving a let dwelling. The Landlord Gas Safety Record, also called a CP12, is issued within 28 days of the check and the tenant receives their copy inside the same 28-day window. For Croydon's substantial HMO concentration we cover every shared appliance and produce a single certificate listing every check carried out at the property.
Each appliance is inspected visually, working pressure is measured in kPa against the manufacturer plate, gas tightness is verified using a digital manometer, flue flow is proven with smoke pellets for open-flue appliances or an anemometer for room-sealed plant, and ventilation is calculated against BS 5440-2 for any open-flue fire or water heater.
Pricing excludes VAT. CP12 with up to three appliances is 125 pounds, each extra appliance is 20 pounds, the CP12 and annual boiler service combination is 210 pounds at the same visit, and a second boiler at the same visit is 95 pounds. Active gas leak: ring National Gas Emergency on 0800 111 999, then us for isolation, BS 6891 pipe repair, and re-certification.
