Gas Safety Certificates in Bournemouth (CP12)

PlumbRite issues landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) and carries out domestic gas safety checks across all of Bournemouth, BH1 to BH11. The certificate is issued to the tenant or customer immediately after the inspection — no chasing paperwork afterwards.

Built for Bournemouth’s rental market

Few towns in Dorset have as many rented homes as Bournemouth: converted Victorian villas in Boscombe and Springbourne, student lets around Winton and Charminster, HMOs, and apartment blocks near the town centre. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, every one of them with gas appliances needs a gas safety certificate every twelve months from a Gas Safe registered engineer, covering all pipework, appliances, and flues. We work with individual landlords, letting agents, and portfolio owners, and we’ll deal with tenants directly to arrange access — usually the most time-consuming part of the job for a busy agent.

What the inspection involves

Our engineers complete the full 10-point check: air supply to appliances, controls and flame supervision devices, burner flame picture, clearances from combustibles, appliance stability, pipework and flexible connections, operating pressure and heat input, control operation, tightness testing where connections are disturbed, and clear written advice on any defects found. No scaremongering and no padded quotes — just what the regulations require and what genuinely needs doing.

Homeowners too

A CP12 is a legal duty for landlords, but we recommend every Bournemouth household has its gas appliances checked annually — it’s a small cost for real peace of mind.
