Gas Safety & CP12 in Redbridge

Redbridge's housing stock has older galvanised cold supply runs and 1930s heating systems in steady supply, which means full re-pipes and system upgrades often follow on from CP12 inspections. The borough covers IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4, IG5, IG6, IG7, IG8, E11, E12, and E18, including Ilford, Wanstead, Woodford, Barkingside, South Woodford, Gants Hill, Hainault, and Chigwell. 1930s semis dominate, with Edwardian housing in Wanstead and South Woodford and post-war estates in Hainault. Essex and Suffolk and Thames Water both serve parts of the borough on moderately hard mains. Our Gas Safe registration is 972173 (verifiable at gassaferegister.co.uk).

Regulation 36 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 (GSIUR 1998) places the annual inspection duty on the landlord. The Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12 or LGSR) is issued within 28 days of the inspection, and the tenant receives their copy inside the same 28-day window. For HMOs around Ilford we cover every shared and bedroom-level appliance on a single certificate.

Each gas appliance is visually inspected for damage and combustion residue, working pressure is measured in kPa against the manufacturer data plate, gas tightness is tested using a calibrated digital manometer with a let-by check first, 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 in the dwelling.

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.
