Landlord Gas Safety Certificate King’s Heath: What Birmingham Landlords Need to Know
If you own a rental property in King’s Heath, it’s essential to have a valid landlord gas safety certificate (CP12). At Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited, our Gas Safe engineers Birmingham team provides reliable inspections across King’s Heath and the surrounding areas, helping landlords stay compliant and tenants safe.
What Is a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?
A CP12 certificate is issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer after a full gas safety inspection. It confirms that all gas appliances, pipework, and flues in your rental property meet safety standards.
During the inspection, we check:
- Boilers and flues
- Gas hobs and cookers
- Gas fires or heaters
- Pipework integrity and ventilation
- Carbon monoxide safety devices
The certificate is valid for 12 months and must be given to tenants, especially new occupants.

How to Prepare for a Gas Safety Inspection
To ensure a smooth inspection:
- Make all gas appliances accessible (boiler, cooker, gas fire)
- Inform tenants of the appointment
- Clear access to gas meters and utility cupboards
- Have any recent boiler service paperwork available
Our King’s Heath engineers can often carry out inspections same-day or next-day and issue the certificate immediately once the property passes.
Gas Safety Certificate vs. Boiler Service
Many landlords confuse a CP12 inspection with a boiler service.
- CP12: Confirms appliances are safe at the inspection time.
- Boiler service: Detailed maintenance to ensure efficiency, longevity, and warranty compliance.
Booking both together is ideal. Learn more about our boiler servicing Birmingham to protect your investment and keep your tenants warm and safe.
Why Combine CP12 and Boiler Service?
- Saves time and multiple visits
- Maintains boiler efficiency and prevents breakdowns
- Ensures warranties remain valid
- Reduces confusion over appliance failures after inspection
Many companies skip the service and only issue the CP12, which can lead to unexpected boiler problems. We recommend combining both whenever possible.
