Keystone London provides gas safety inspections and CP12 certificates for landlords, homeowners and managed properties across London.
Our Gas Safe registered engineers inspect relevant gas appliances, flues and ventilation, record the results of the safety checks and explain any faults or further work that may be required.
For landlords, regular gas safety checks form an important part of managing a rental property. For homeowners, an inspection can provide reassurance about the safe operation of gas appliances and associated systems.
Gas safety requirements and responsibilities can vary depending on how a property is occupied and managed. Keystone London provides gas safety inspections for landlords, homeowners, letting agents and managed residential properties across London.
Landlords with relevant gas appliances are responsible for arranging regular gas safety checks for rental properties. The inspection findings are recorded on the appropriate gas safety record.
Homeowners can also arrange gas safety inspections where they want additional reassurance about the condition and safe operation of gas appliances and associated systems.
We support agents and property managers who need gas safety checks coordinated across individual rental properties or wider property portfolios.
Properties with shared accommodation or more complex management arrangements may require careful coordination around appliance access, occupancy and ongoing maintenance.
A gas safety check is more than a certificate. The inspection is used to assess the safe operation of relevant gas appliances, associated flues, ventilation and safety controls within the property.
The exact checks depend on the appliances and installation present, but the inspection typically covers the following areas.
Relevant appliances such as boilers, gas fires and hobs are checked for signs of unsafe operation, damage or installation issues.
Flue arrangements are assessed where applicable to help confirm that combustion gases are being removed safely from the property.
Relevant ventilation provisions are checked to ensure appliances have the airflow they require to operate safely.
Appliance operating conditions are checked where relevant, including performance and pressure against the requirements of the installation.
Relevant safety devices and controls are checked as part of the inspection to confirm they are functioning correctly.
The results of the inspection are recorded, including the appliances checked and any defects or recommendations identified during the visit.
If an issue is identified, we explain what has been found and what further work may be required. Depending on the problem, this could involve appliance servicing, repair or other gas-related work before the system can be considered satisfactory.
A gas safety check and a boiler service are related, but they are not the same thing. Understanding the difference is particularly important for landlords responsible for maintaining gas appliances in a rental property.
A landlord gas safety check focuses on confirming that relevant gas appliances and associated systems can be operated safely at the time of inspection.
A boiler service focuses specifically on the condition, performance and maintenance of the boiler. It allows the engineer to inspect the appliance in greater detail and identify developing problems.
A gas safety inspection does not replace routine boiler maintenance. Where a rental property contains a gas boiler, arranging regular servicing alongside the appropriate gas safety checks can help keep the appliance safe, reliable and properly maintained.

Answers to common questions about landlord gas safety checks, CP12 certificates, inspection requirements and what happens if a problem is identified.
A CP12 is the commonly used name for a landlord gas safety record. It documents the relevant gas appliances and safety checks carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer at a rental property.
Landlords are generally required to arrange gas safety checks at least every 12 months for relevant gas appliances and flues within properties covered by the regulations.

The inspection may include relevant gas appliances such as boilers, gas fires and hobs, together with associated flues, ventilation and safety controls where applicable.
If a defect or unsafe condition is identified, the engineer will explain the issue and what action is required. Depending on the problem, the appliance may need servicing, repair or other corrective work before it can be considered satisfactory.
