Frequently Asked Questions — CP12 Hackney
Do I legally need a CP12 in Hackney?
Yes. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require all landlords to have gas appliances inspected annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. You must give tenants a copy within 28 days of the inspection, or before move-in for new tenants. Failure to comply carries an unlimited fine and up to 6 months in prison.
How much is a CP12 in Hackney?
A CP12 in Hackney is £110 for up to 2 gas appliances. Each additional appliance is £15. Combined boiler service + CP12 on the same visit is £190 — saving £20. No VAT. No call-out fee.
What if my boiler fails the CP12 inspection?
If an appliance is unsafe, the engineer will advise you of the fault and — where necessary — isolate the appliance. You will receive a written report detailing any defects. We can quote for repair or replacement separately. The inspection fee is still payable.
How long does a CP12 take?
A standard CP12 inspection of a boiler and one other appliance typically takes 45–60 minutes in Hackney. If you also book a boiler service on the same visit, allow 90 minutes. The certificate is emailed the same day.
How often do I need a CP12?
Every 12 months, without exception. The certificate shows the date of the next inspection due — we can set you a reminder so the renewal doesn't slip. WhatsApp us on 07946 444414 to book.
