Every rented property in the UK needs a valid annual Landlord Gas Safety Certificate in Maidstone. Plumbstar is Gas Safe registered 602922, and we issue the CP12 the same day we visit, emailed to both landlord and tenant so you have it on file the moment we leave.
What the CP12 covers
- Every gas appliance in the property — boiler, cooker, hob, fire, water heater
- Gas pipework, tightness test and correct emergency isolation
- Flue integrity, ventilation and combustion analysis
- Any defects listed with clear risk category (ID / AR / Immediately Dangerous)
- Signed certificate on the Gas Safe standard form, valid 12 months
How much and how long
Straightforward one-boiler flat inspections take around 45 minutes. HMOs and larger properties with multiple appliances take longer. We give you a fixed price on the phone before we book — no hidden line-items or “just the CP12” upsells.
Landlord duties in England (quick reference)
- Renew the CP12 within 12 months of the previous inspection
- Give the tenant a copy within 28 days (or on the day for new tenants)
- Keep records for at least 2 years
- Fix Category 1 / Immediately Dangerous defects before letting continues
If we find something
We’ll show you the fault, explain the risk category, and quote the repair on the spot. Most fixes — a rusted flue clip, a leaking joint, an old cooker bayonet — are done within the same visit so the certificate can be issued clean.
We cover Maidstone town and the surrounding villages — Bearsted, Aylesford, Ditton, East Malling, Loose, Boughton Monchelsea, Barming, Allington, Larkfield and Leybourne. Most landlord gas safety jobs across ME, TN and CT postcodes are quoted the same week and scheduled within a few working days.
Common questions from Maidstone customers
How much notice do you need?
Usually a week or less. If a certificate is running out this week, call us — we’ll fit you in.
Do I need to be at the property?
The tenant needs to grant access. Landlords rarely need to attend — we email the CP12 to both parties as soon as it’s complete.
What if a defect is found?
We’ll show you the fault, categorise it (ID / AR), and quote the fix on the spot. Most small defects are done in the same visit.
