Gas safety certificates in Newcastle.
A landlord gas safety certificate (CP12) in Newcastle, done properly by Gas Safe registered engineers — every gas appliance checked, not just glanced at, and your certificate issued correctly and on time.
At a glance Ninja Ops issues landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) across Newcastle upon Tyne, checking every gas appliance in a rented property to the legal standard required annually.
What does a gas safety check actually cover?
Every gas appliance in the property — the boiler, gas fires, gas cookers or hobs if supplied by the landlord — plus the associated pipework and flues. The engineer checks for correct operating pressure, adequate ventilation, safe flue operation, and that appliances are burning gas correctly, then issues the Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) confirming the result of each check.
This is a legal requirement renewed every 12 months for any rented property with gas appliances — it's separate from a boiler service, though we're happy to combine both into a single visit if your boiler is also due.
If an appliance doesn't pass, we'll explain exactly why and what it needs. Under Gas Safe classifications, a fault that makes an appliance immediately dangerous means it has to be turned off or disconnected on the spot for safety, while less serious issues get flagged with a clear explanation of what's required to put right. Either way, you'll know precisely what's wrong and why, not just a pass or fail with no explanation.

Gas Safety Certificate FAQ
Questions about landlord gas safety certificates.
What is a CP12 certificate?
CP12 is the common name for a Landlord Gas Safety Record — the certificate issued after a Gas Safe registered engineer checks every gas appliance, flue, and pipework in a rented property and confirms it's safe to use. UK landlords are legally required to have one renewed every 12 months for any rented property with gas appliances.
How much does a landlord gas safety certificate cost in Newcastle?
It depends on the number of gas appliances in the property and how many properties you need covering — get in touch with the details and we'll give you a clear, upfront price rather than a vague estimate.
What happens if I don't get a gas safety certificate as a landlord?
It's a legal requirement, and letting a property without a valid one exposes you to enforcement action and puts your tenants' safety genuinely at risk — this isn't a box-ticking formality, gas appliances that aren't checked can leak carbon monoxide with no obvious warning signs.
Do you provide a copy of the certificate to my tenants?
Landlords are legally required to give tenants a copy of the current gas safety certificate within 28 days of the check, or to new tenants before they move in — we can issue extra copies at the time of the check to make that straightforward for you.
Can you check multiple rental properties at once?
Yes — if you manage several rental properties across Newcastle, we can coordinate certificate renewal dates across your portfolio so you're not chasing separate bookings for each one throughout the year.
Do I need a gas safety certificate before my first tenant moves in?
Yes — as a new landlord, you need a valid gas safety check completed and a Landlord Gas Safety Record in place before a tenancy starts, not just at some point in the first year. If you're letting a property with gas appliances for the first time, get in touch in good time before your intended move-in date so it doesn't hold up the let.
