What Is a Gas Safety Certificate in North London?
A Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is a landlord gas safety record. A Gas Safe registered engineer issues it after checking the gas appliances and flues provided by the landlord. In North London, Islington and Barnet have licensing changes across 2026 and 2027, making a current record relevant to licence applications.
Gas Safety Rules At A Glance
Every 12 months
A Gas Safe registered engineer carries out the annual check under regulation 36.
Early renewal
A check in the two months before the due date keeps the original expiry date.
Tenant copies
Existing tenants receive a copy within 28 days. New tenants receive it before moving in.
Records
Keep each record until two further checks are complete, giving at least two years in practice.
Is a Gas Safety Certificate a Legal Requirement in North London?
Yes, for every North London landlord who provides gas appliances. Regulation 36 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 requires an annual gas safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Islington's selective scheme and Barnet's additional licensing require a current record at the point of application, not only during the year.
Who Can Issue One and How to Check the Engineer
Only a Gas Safe registered engineer can carry out the check. Check the engineer's ID card and the appliance categories listed on the back before work starts. Use the Gas Safe Register search to check registration details. ALC engineers carry a Gas Safe ID and insert the ALC Gas Safe business registration number.
Why Gas Safety Compliance Works Differently in North London
North London has five boroughs, with licensing dates shaping gas safety planning. Five things make gas safety compliance in North London different:
What Makes North London Gas Compliance Different
1
Islington has two licensing routes
Additional HMO licensing has operated since 1 February 2026. The selective scheme starts on 23 November 2026, creating different licensing dates for landlords across the borough.
2
Barnet has a changing licensing picture
Additional HMO licensing runs to 26 October 2027. The selective licensing consultation closed on 15 September 2026, keeping the borough's licensing position under review.
3
Camden and Islington have period conversions
Barnet and Enfield include suburban houses and larger HMOs. These property types can have different numbers of landlord-provided gas appliances.
4
Private renting varies across North London boroughs
Camden and Haringey each have 35.6% of households in private renting. Barnet has 32.7% and Islington 31.2%, compared with 30.1% across London, based on ONS Census 2021.
5
Camden and Islington conversions need appliance checks at booking
Meter, boiler and flue locations can differ. An appliance count of one at booking can become three at the visit, changing the quote and appointment slot.
How Gas Safety Checks Work for North London Landlords and Agents
The Five Minute Pre-Appointment Checklist
Before the North London engineer arrives:
- Confirm safe access to the gas meter, including external boxes and communal cupboards.
- List every landlord-provided appliance, including cookers, fires and water heaters.
- Note flue routes and access hatches, especially in converted lofts.
- Keep ventilation and air vents clear.
- Confirm one working tenant contact and permission to enter.
These checks help keep the visit to one trip and keep the quote accurate.
Timing the Check Around Islington and Barnet Licensing
Islington's selective scheme starts on 23 November 2026, with applications open from 7 September 2026. Barnet's additional scheme runs to 26 October 2027. Getting the record in place before applying keeps the licence file ready. The two-month early check window also gives landlords room to renew without the new record falling in the middle of an application.
Period Conversions: Getting the Appliance Count Right
In Camden and Islington conversions, the meter, boiler and flue have separate locations. Count every landlord-provided appliance before requesting a quote. Extra appliances found during the visit change the quote. The completed record lists each appliance separately, giving the landlord a clear record of what the engineer checks.
Our Four Step Process
STEP 1
Book Online or Call
Enter your North London postcode and gas appliance count for an instant price. The same booking route covers landlords in Islington, Barnet and nearby boroughs.
Engineer Visit
A Gas Safe registered engineer checks each landlord-provided appliance and flue. Gas Safe ID is shown on arrival before the inspection starts.
STEP 2
Test & inspect
Every appliance, result and defect goes onto the gas safety record. Issues receive the relevant Immediately Dangerous or At Risk classification.
STEP 3
Certificate Issued
Your digital CP12 arrives by email within 24 hours. Forward it to tenants or attach it to your North London licence application.
STEP 4
What a North London Gas Safety Check Covers and What It Doesn't
The engineer checks every gas appliance and flue the landlord provides, including flue operation, air supply, operating pressure or heat input, and safety devices. Any defect goes on the landlord's gas safety record. The record is still issued.
Covered by the gas safety check
NOT covered
If the Engineer Finds a Defect
A Gas Safe engineer records defects as Immediately Dangerous (ID) or At Risk (AR). With landlord or tenant permission, the engineer can disconnect or turn off an unsafe appliance. The gas safety record is still issued and lists the defect. Remedial work receives a separate quote.
Pipework and Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Installation pipework is not part of the annual appliance check, but landlords need to keep it maintained. Ask for a tightness test during the visit. A carbon monoxide alarm is required in rooms containing a fixed combustion appliance, excluding gas cookers.
Gas Safety Certificate Cost in North London
Now the question is, how much does a gas safety certificate cost in North London? A gas safety certificate costs £69 for up to four gas appliances plus the gas meter.

£69
- Up to four gas appliances + gas meter
- Digital CP12 within 24 hours
- Tenant copy

- Based on appliance count and number of properties
What affects your quote
A gas safety check is not a boiler service. Ask if you want both in one visit. Converted houses in Camden and Islington and larger HMOs in Barnet and Enfield have more than four gas appliances. These receive pricing by appliance count at booking, making the pre-appointment checklist useful.

Gas Safety Certificates by Property Type in North London
HMOs & Shared Houses
Barnet licensed HMOs need gas safety checks for rental properties in North London for every landlord-provided appliance and flue. One record covers the property and lists each appliance. The licence condition requires a certificate from the previous 12 months. An HMO fire risk assessment also forms part of wider landlord safety records.
Period Conversions & Flats
Camden and Islington have many Victorian and Georgian conversions. A landlord gas safety certificate North London covers landlord-provided appliances and flues inside the flat. For a shared boiler or flue, check the lease to see who arranges the check. Conversion layouts can also bring extra appliances into the inspection.
Suburban Houses & Larger Lets
Barnet and Enfield have many suburban houses. A boiler, gas fire and landlord-provided cooker can bring the appliance count above one. Garage and outbuilding appliances also count when the landlord provides them. The total appliance count sets the quote for gas safety certification North London.
