Why Choose Us for Gas Safety Certificates in Gillingham
We understand the practical realities of being a landlord
You need inspections done on time, at a reasonable cost, with minimum disruption to your tenants. Our engineers are experienced, efficient, and professional. A standard inspection takes 30 to 45 minutes, and the certificate is issued on the same day.
We work with individual landlords, portfolio landlords, and several letting agents across Gillingham and wider Medway
For landlords with multiple properties, we offer portfolio rates that reduce the per-property cost, and we can schedule back-to-back inspections across different properties to save time.
Our annual reminder service means you do not have to track renewal dates yourself
We keep a record of when each property's certificate is due and contact you in advance to arrange the next inspection. You can also book up to two months before the current certificate expires without losing any validity -- the new certificate runs from the old one's expiry date.
Our Gas Safety Certificates Process
Schedule the appointment
Call or email with your property address and any tenant contact details. We can coordinate access directly with your tenants if that is easier.
Gas appliance inspection
We check every gas appliance in the property. This typically includes the boiler, gas cooker or hob, and any gas fires. We test each appliance for safe operation, stable flame, correct ventilation, and proper flue function.
Flue and ventilation assessment
We verify all flues are intact, properly connected, and discharging safely. We check that each room with a gas appliance has adequate ventilation. In Gillingham's older properties, particularly those that have been converted into flats, ventilation is a frequent area of concern.
Gas pipework tightness test
We pressurise the gas supply pipework and monitor for pressure drops that would indicate a leak.
Certificate issued
If all appliances pass, we issue the CP12 gas safety record on the same day. You receive a digital copy by email and a paper copy if needed. If any appliance fails, we explain the fault, classify it according to Gas Safe Register categories, and provide a quote for the repair.
Gas Safety Certificates for Gillingham Properties
Volume rental areas
The streets around Napier Road, Canterbury Street, and Brompton contain a high density of buy-to-let properties. Many of these are terraced or semi-detached houses with a single boiler and gas cooker. Inspections are quick and cost-effective. We can schedule multiple inspections in the same area on the same day to maximise efficiency for portfolio landlords.
HMO properties
Gillingham has a number of houses in multiple occupation, particularly converted properties with shared kitchens and individual room heaters. Every gas appliance must be inspected, whether it is in a communal area or a private room. HMO landlords have the same legal obligations as single-let landlords, plus additional fire safety requirements. We are experienced with HMO inspections and understand the specific compliance demands.
Student and key worker lets
With the Universities at Medway campus nearby, some Gillingham properties are let to students or key workers on shorter-term tenancies. Gas safety certificates must be in place regardless of tenancy length. We can time inspections to coincide with tenant changeovers.
What if an appliance fails? If we find an appliance that is At Risk or Immediately Dangerous, we follow the Gas Safe Register's procedures. An Immediately Dangerous appliance is disconnected and labelled. An At Risk appliance can remain in use for a limited time while repairs are arranged. We can usually carry out repairs ourselves, often during the same visit or within a few days.
Pricing
A gas safety certificate for a Gillingham property with one boiler and one gas cooker typically costs between 50 and 80. Additional appliances are charged at a small supplementary rate. Portfolio rates are available. Combined gas safety and boiler servicing packages start from 120.
