Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Kingston licensed HMO need a CP12, and is servicing the same thing?
Yes, a licensed HMO with landlord gas appliances needs an annual gas safety record; a boiler service is a separate activity. The CP12 follows the annual gas safety cycle.
Who arranges checks in Kingston Council homes, and what about leaseholders?
Kingston Council arranges the annual gas safety check for its rented homes through its appointed contractor. Leaseholders should establish responsibility for appliances within their own flat. If you let out your leasehold home with landlord gas appliances, arrange the annual landlord check rather than assuming the council’s arrangements cover it.
Will new Cambridge Road Estate homes in Norbiton need a CP12 or boiler service?
The requirement depends on the appliances actually installed in each rented home. A home without gas appliances or associated flues needs no appliance CP12 or gas boiler service. A landlord-provided gas hob still needs checking, even where space heating comes from another source. Confirm the completed home’s specification.
Does an unlicensed Kingston rental need a gas safety certificate?
Yes, a rented home with landlord gas appliances and flues needs the annual check even if no property licence is required. Regulation 36 applies independently of licensing. The end of Kingston’s additional licensing scheme therefore did not remove gas safety duties for affected landlords.
How early can I renew without losing the deadline?
You can arrange the check in the two months before the existing deadline and retain that deadline under regulation 36A. This is an early-check window, not a grace period afterwards. Have the previous record ready when booking so the renewal timing can be established.
