Local insights

Gas safety / CP12 in Hillingdon: the local picture.

Outer-west London brings larger family properties and more system boiler installs into the gas safety mix, and Hillingdon sits squarely in that band. The borough covers UB3, UB4, UB7, UB8, UB9, UB10, HA4, and HA6, with Uxbridge at the centre and Hayes, Ruislip, Northwood, West Drayton, Ickenham, Eastcote, and Yiewsley filling out the housing footprint. The borough's 1930s semi stock plus post-war estates in Hayes and Edwardian and inter-war housing in Ruislip and Northwood means a typical CP12 visit covers a boiler, a fire, and a cooker rather than a single combi. Affinity Water supplies hard mains. Our Gas Safe registration is 972173 (verifiable at gassaferegister.co.uk).

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 (GSIUR 1998) Regulation 36 sets the landlord's annual inspection duty. 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. New tenants must have a copy before they take occupation of the property.

Each appliance is visually inspected for damage and combustion residue, working pressure is measured in kPa against the manufacturer data plate, gas tightness is verified using a calibrated digital manometer, flue flow is proven with smoke pellets for open-flue appliances or an anemometer for room-sealed plant where indicated, and ventilation is calculated against BS 5440-2 for every open-flue installation against the dwelling's habitable volume.

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 first, then us for emergency shut-off, BS 6891 carcassing repair, and re-certification.

FAQ

Gas safety / CP12 in Hillingdon: your questions

How quickly can a CP12 be completed in Hillingdon?
Most single-appliance CP12s in Uxbridge, Hayes and Ruislip finish inside an hour, with same-day slots held for landlord turnover across UB3 to UB10. The LGSR is sent to landlord and agent the same working day.
Do Hillingdon's licensing rules affect LGSR paperwork?
Hillingdon operates additional HMO licensing in designated parts of Hayes and Uxbridge, with a current LGSR required at application. HMO appliances are tested in one visit and itemised on a single coordinated record so the council file lodged stays consistent.
Which gas network covers Hillingdon and where do meters sit?
Hillingdon sits on the Cadent Gas west London network; gas emergencies route to 0800 111 999. 1930s semis in Ruislip and Eastcote typically have the ECV in an external meter box, while Hayes post-war estates often have semi-recessed meter pits requiring a lifter before the LGSR test.
What does a CP12 cost in Hillingdon?
Hillingdon sits in our Greater Outer T4 tier at GBP 65 per 30 minutes with a one-hour minimum on labour calls. The CP12 is set at GBP 94.80 and the CP12 plus boiler service combination at GBP 178.80. All figures exclude VAT and are confirmed in writing before dispatch.
How can a Hillingdon landlord verify the engineer?
We hold 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 are checkable at gassaferegister.co.uk before granting access.
