What Is a Gas Safety Certificate in Waltham Forest?
A Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is the annual record a Gas Safe registered engineer issues after checking the gas appliances and flues you provide as a landlord. In Waltham Forest, licence conditions require a gas safety certificate from the last 12 months on each licence anniversary.
Gas Safety Rules at a Glance
Every 12 months
A Gas Safe registered engineer carries out the annual check under regulation 36 of GSIUR 1998.
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, with at least two years of records.
Is a Gas Safety Certificate a Legal Requirement in Waltham Forest?
Yes, for every Waltham Forest 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 on landlord-provided gas appliances and flues. Waltham Forest licence conditions also require the licence holder to produce a current certificate from the last 12 months on each licence anniversary.
Who Can Issue One and How to Check the Engineer
Only a Gas Safe registered engineer issues a landlord gas safety record. Check the engineer's registration on the Gas Safe Register before work starts. You can also verify the engineer used by All Landlord Certificates through the Gas Safe Register before booking. No registration number is listed here without verification.
Why Gas Safety Compliance Works Differently in Waltham Forest
Waltham Forest has a large licensed rental sector, older private housing and selective licensing across 20 of 22 wards. These local factors affect gas safety checks, licence records and property access. Five things make gas safety compliance in Waltham Forest different:
What Makes Waltham Forest Gas Compliance Different
1
High licensing volume
The council reported 22,516 selective licences and 1,393 HMO licences in its 2024 statutory consultation. The renewed schemes are expected to cover around 26,000 licensed properties.
2
Gas certificate in the licence condition
Condition 6 requires a current gas safety certificate from the last 12 months on each licence anniversary. The certificate comes from a Gas Safe registered engineer.
3
20 of 22 wards
Selective licensing covers 20 of 22 wards from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2030. Additional HMO licensing covers all 22 wards from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2030.
4
Older private housing
The council reports that 60% of Waltham Forest private sector homes were built before 1919, compared with 25% across England. Older homes have converted layouts and different appliance locations.
5
Local access
Waltham Forest is the Mini Holland borough, with low traffic neighbourhoods, modal filters and controlled parking zones. Parking permits moved to MiPermit from 1 July 2026. These factors affect engineer access to some properties.
Key Facts
- 22,516 selective and 1,393 HMO licences reported by the council
- 60% of private sector homes built before 1919
- Selective licensing covers 20 of 22 wards from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2030
How Gas Safety Checks Work for Waltham Forest Landlords
Timing the Check Around Your Licence Anniversary
Waltham Forest licence condition 6 requires a gas safety certificate from the last 12 months on each licence anniversary. Arrange the check around your licence anniversary, not the certificate expiry date. Regulation 36A allows the check within the two months before the due date and keeps the same expiry date. Keep the new CP12 with your licence documents.
Pre 1919 Conversions: Counting the Appliances
The council reports that 60% of private sector homes were built before 1919. Many rental homes have converted layouts, with the meter, boiler and flue in different locations. The £69 price covers up to four gas appliances plus the meter. Each appliance is listed on the CP12. Count the appliances before booking to confirm the correct price and appointment.
Access, Parking and Appointment Windows
Low-traffic neighbourhoods, modal filters and controlled parking zones can affect engineer access. Parking permits moved to MiPermit from 1 July 2026, and some new developments are car free. Arrange a visitor permit or suitable access before the appointment.
Our Four Step Process
STEP 1
Book Online or Call
Enter your E postcode and number of gas appliances to get the fixed price.
Engineer Visit
A Gas Safe registered engineer checks each landlord-provided gas appliance and flue. The engineer shows their Gas Safe ID on arrival.
STEP 2
Record completed
Each appliance, result and defect is recorded. Immediately Dangerous or At Risk classifications are included where applicable.
STEP 3
Digital CP12 within 24 hour
Your CP12 is emailed with the issue date, ready for your licence documents or tenants.
STEP 4
What's Checked on a Waltham Forest Gas Safety Check and What Isn't
A gas safety check covers the landlord's gas appliances and flues, including operation, combustion, ventilation and safety controls. Installation pipework is not part of the annual check and has a separate maintenance duty.
Covered by the gas safety check
NOT covered by the annual check
If the Engineer Finds a Defect
The engineer records a fault as Immediately Dangerous (ID) or At Risk (AR). With your permission, the engineer disconnects an unsafe appliance. The CP12 is still issued and records the defect. Any remedial work is quoted separately.
Pipework and Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Installation pipework is not included in the annual gas safety check, but it remains a maintenance duty. A tightness test and visual examination are recommended good practice, and ALC carries these out. A carbon monoxide alarm is required in living accommodation with a fixed combustion appliance, except a gas cooker, under SI 2022/707 from 1 October 2022.

Gas Safety and Your Waltham Forest Licence
Waltham Forest selective licensing covers 20 of 22 wards from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2030, excluding Hatch Lane, Highams Park North and Endlebury. Additional HMO licensing covers all 22 wards from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2030. Mandatory HMO licensing covers 5 or more people from 2 or more households.
What the Law Requires
Regulation 36 of GSIUR 1998 requires a Gas Safe-registered engineer to carry out an annual gas safety check on landlord-provided appliances and flues. The gas record stays for two further checks. Existing tenants receive a copy within 28 days. New tenants receive a copy before moving into the property.
Your Licence File and the Gas Record
Condition 6 focuses on the certificate issue date at each licence anniversary. The certificate needs an issue date within the previous 12 months. Regulation 36A provides a two-month early-check period before the due date. This timing helps align the gas safety certificate with the licence anniversary and annual check cycle.
2026 Update: Section 21 and the Landlord Register
Section 21 ends on 1 May 2026 under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025. Section 8 remains the possession route. The national PRS Database opens for registrations on 15 December 2026.
Waltham Forest Property Types We Cover
Pre-1919 Converted Terraces
60% of private sector homes in Waltham Forest date from before 1919. Converted terraces can have the gas meter, boiler, and flue in separate locations, with appliance numbers above initial expectations. A gas safety certificate inspection in Waltham Forest checks each landlord-provided appliance within the let unit and records the required details.
HMOs & Shared Houses
Waltham Forest’s additional HMO licensing scheme covers all 22 wards until 31 March 2030. A landlords gas safety check for Waltham Forest covers every landlord-provided appliance across individual units and shared kitchens. One record covers the property, with Condition 6 applying at each licence anniversary.
Chingford & Suburban Houses
Chingford and Highams Park contain northern suburban housing, including the two wards outside the selective licensing scheme. Family houses can contain a landlord-provided boiler plus a gas fire or hob, creating more than one appliance. A CP12 in Waltham Forest also covers gas appliances in garages and outbuildings supplied by the landlord.
Flats Above Shops & Mixed-Use
Waltham Forest high streets and parades include flats above shops and mixed-use premises. A domestic CP12 covers the residential let and its landlord-provided gas appliances. Gas equipment serving a shop or restaurant below falls outside the residential record and forms a separate non-domestic matter.

Waltham Forest Gas Safety Certificate FAQs
Do I need a gas safety certificate for my Waltham Forest licence?
Yes, where the property has gas. The licence conditions require a valid gas safety certificate obtained within the previous 12 months. A copy needs to be produced on each licence anniversary without waiting for a council request.
Which Waltham Forest wards need a selective licence?
Selective licensing covers 20 of Waltham Forest’s 22 wards from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2030. Hatch Lane and Highams Park North, along with Endlebury, are excluded. Additional HMO licensing applies across the borough.
My certificate has not expired. Is that enough for the council?
Not necessarily. The licence condition looks at when the certificate was obtained, not only its expiry date. The two month early check window gives landlords a way to refresh the certificate issue date before the existing record expires.

- Each let unit needs its own certificate where it has its own gas appliances and meter.
- Converted terraces can have split flues serving different units.
- Older pre 1919 conversions can contain more appliances than expected.
- Each relevant installation needs assessment.
Which postcodes and areas do you cover?
Coverage includes E4, E10, E11 and E17, including Walthamstow, Leyton, Leytonstone, Chingford and Highams Park. E11 is shared with Redbridge, so the relevant ward needs checking before confirming the licensing requirements.

Yes, the engineer can attend.
- The landlord or agent needs to arrange a visitor permit where required.
- A workable access period needs to be arranged.
