Gas Safety Certificates in Stoke-on-Trent
Landlords must have gas appliances and flues in rented properties checked every 12 months. SureFlow carries out landlord gas safety checks and issues CP12 documentation.
What the check covers
Each gas appliance and its flue, ventilation, operating pressure, burner performance and safety devices, plus accessible pipework. All of it is recorded on the landlord gas safety record, with any defects and remedial action noted. Access to every appliance, and to loft spaces containing flues, helps the visit run smoothly.
For landlords and agents
Book with the property postcode, the number of appliances, and the tenant contact arrangements. Reminders for next year’s due date can be arranged. Multi-property landlords should mention the portfolio when enquiring.
Booking
Call, WhatsApp or use the quote form with the property postcode and appliance count for the earliest available slot.
Combining the check with a service
A landlord gas safety check and an annual boiler service are different jobs with different paperwork, but they can usually be done in the same visit. That saves an extra appointment and an extra access arrangement, particularly where tenants are involved.
Tell us when booking if you want both, so enough time is allowed. If you only need the certificate, the check covers each gas appliance and flue in the property.
Tenant access
Where the tenant is happy for us to contact them, we can arrange access directly and confirm the appointment with you afterwards. Otherwise we will work with whatever arrangements you have in place.
Records and reminders
You receive the landlord gas safety record listing each appliance and flue checked, with defects and any action taken. You must give a copy to your tenants. Checks can be renewed up to two months early while keeping the original anniversary date, so you do not have to wait until the final week.
If you manage several properties, see our landlords and letting agents page — we can plan visits across a portfolio rather than booking them one at a time.
What the check is not
A gas safety check confirms the appliances and flues are safe at the time of inspection. It is not a service, and it does not replace maintenance or repair. An appliance can pass a safety check and still need servicing.
Frequently asked questions
What is a CP12?
A CP12 is the record of a landlord gas safety check: the documented result of inspecting gas appliances, pipework and flues in a rented property. Landlords must hold a valid one and give tenants a copy.
How often is a check needed?
Every 12 months. Checks can be renewed up to two months early while keeping the original anniversary date, under the MOT-style rules. Ask when booking.
What happens if an appliance fails?
The engineer records the defect, makes it safe, which can mean disconnecting it with your agreement, and advises on repair or replacement. The certificate reflects what was found.
Can servicing and the CP12 be combined?
Often, yes. A boiler service and the landlord check can be done in one visit, which usually saves time and money. Mention both when booking.
Do homeowners need a gas safety certificate?
No legal duty applies to owner-occupiers, but an annual service and safety check of gas appliances is strongly recommended.
