Gas Safety Certificates in Surrey
Landlords are legally required to hold a valid Gas Safety Certificate, commonly referred to as a CP12. Surrey Handyman provides Gas Safety Certificates across Surrey through Gas Safe registered engineers, inspecting boilers, gas appliances and pipework to ensure they meet current safety standards. Whether you are arranging an annual inspection or preparing for a new tenancy, we provide compliant certification and clear documentation to support your legal responsibilities.
Book a Gas Safe Engineer for a Gas Safety Certificate
Booking a Gas Safe engineer for a Gas Safety Certificate is straightforward with Surrey Handyman. We arrange for a registered engineer to attend your property, inspect the boiler, gas appliances and visible pipework, and carry out the necessary safety checks. Whether you manage a single rental property or a larger portfolio, we provide organised inspections with clear communication from start to finish. Once the inspection is complete, you will receive the required CP12 documentation for your records and for your tenants.
How Long Does a Gas Safety Inspection Take?
The time required for a Gas Safety Certificate inspection depends on the number of gas appliances within the property. For a typical rental property with one boiler and a cooker, the inspection often takes around 30 to 60 minutes. Properties with additional appliances may take longer.
During the visit, the engineer will inspect each gas appliance, check ventilation and flue performance, and confirm that the installation meets current safety standards. We will provide an estimated timescale when booking so you know what to expect on the day.

What to Expect During a Gas Safety Inspection
A Gas Safety inspection involves checking gas appliances and pipework to ensure they are operating safely and in line with current regulations. When your Gas Safe engineer arrives, they will confirm the appliances to be inspected and carry out a structured safety assessment. The aim is to verify safe operation and provide compliant certification.
Inspection of gas appliances
Each gas appliance, such as the boiler, hob or gas fire, is inspected to ensure it is fitted correctly and operating safely.
Flue and ventilation checks
The engineer checks that flues are securely fitted and that ventilation meets current safety requirements.
Gas tightness test
A gas tightness test is carried out to confirm there are no leaks within the system.
Combustion and safety checks
Where required, combustion performance is checked to ensure the appliance is burning fuel correctly and safely.
Recording of findings
The engineer records the condition of each appliance and notes any issues identified during the inspection.
Issuing the certificate
Once the inspection is complete, you will receive the Gas Safety Certificate, confirming the results and highlighting any actions required.

Customer Testimonals
Very helpful and prompt customer service. The 'handymen' Daniel and Ben were delightful and very efficient. We will certainly use them again. Colin sorted out the boiler once again. Very grateful.
A real pleasure to do business with them. Thoroughly recommend.

Praise for Surrey Handyman
We can’t praise Colin Stallman of Surrey Handyman highly enough. He came to us to fit a new gas boiler - our previous one being unexpectedly condemned! His knowledge and expertise was only topped by his hard work and professional manner and understanding of our confusing plumbing.
Lynne - Feb 2026
Colin was very polite and experienced. He completed the radiator work within the expected timeframe and left the room neat and tidy. I would highly recommend
