Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) in Morley
If you let a terrace in Morley, the annual gas safety record is your legal duty. Haydn carries out the inspection and hands over the CP12 before he goes.
Morley was a woollen mill town before it was a Leeds suburb, and the solid stone terraces built for its mill workers now make up a good share of the town's rental housing. Plenty of those are owned by landlords with one or two properties rather than a portfolio — people who want the annual gas check done correctly but don't want to become experts in it. This page is written for them. The short version: under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 you need a Gas Safe registered engineer to inspect the property every twelve months and issue a Landlord Gas Safety Record, known as a CP12.
On the day, Haydn (Gas Safe no. 962740) goes through each gas appliance in the house — typically the boiler, the cooker, and a gas fire if one's still fitted — then checks the flues, the visible pipework, the ventilation and the safety devices. The CP12 is filled in before he leaves rather than posted on later. Keep your copy for two years; the tenant must get theirs within 28 days, and anyone moving in fresh needs to see it before the tenancy starts. If you've a letting agent handling the property in Churwell, Gildersome or Drighlington, we can deal with and invoice them directly.
We come to Morley from Huddersfield, down the M62, so it's not a five-minute hop and we'd rather say so than pretend to be local. It doesn't affect the work. What helps is a little notice so we can pair a Morley certificate with other jobs on the Leeds side, and if the boiler's service is due around the same time we can do both while we're there. Quotes are put in writing for free, nothing is added on the day, and we'll offer to remind you when next year's record falls due.
Frequently Asked Questions
A Landlord Gas Safety Record, the CP12, issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer before the tenant moves in and renewed every twelve months after that. We inspect every gas appliance, flue and the pipework that's visible, check ventilation and safety devices, and complete the certificate on the day. You keep it for two years and give the tenant a copy.
Yes. If an agent manages the property, we'll arrange access with them or the tenant, send them the certificate on the day and invoice them directly — you don't have to be the go-between. Just tell us who's handling it when you book and we'll take it from there.
It does. Any gas appliance in the property — fire, cooker, water heater, boiler — goes on the record, and a fire is checked as carefully as the boiler given it sits in a living room, along with its flue and the ventilation around it. If a fire has been disconnected and capped off, that's noted on the certificate instead of tested.
