Gas Safety Certificate across Henley-on-Thames
Gas safety certificates in Henley-on-Thames are a legal requirement for landlords every twelve months, on every gas appliance and every flue in the property. The certificate has to go to the tenant within 28 days, and to a new tenant before they move in.
The part that actually causes landlords trouble is access, not the inspection. We book directly with your tenant, give them a proper window, and tell you straight away if they do not let us in so you have a record of having tried.
The certificate is emailed the same day. If something fails we tell you immediately, with the cost to put it right, because an unsafe appliance has to be dealt with before the certificate can be issued.
What we know about working in Henley-on-Thames
Things that shape gas safety certificates in Henley-on-Thames:
- Period and listed property. Henley has a lot of it. Flue positions, external pipework and even the boiler location can be restricted by listing or conservation area rules, so the survey matters more here than anywhere else we work.
- Riverside damp. Properties near the Thames hold moisture, which shows up as corroded flue terminals and rusted casings long before the boiler itself fails.
- Larger homes on older systems. Plenty of gravity-fed and part-converted systems still running. A straight combi swap is often the wrong answer.
- Oil and LPG on the outskirts. Around Fawley and the Hambleden valley mains gas runs out. We are registered for LPG as well as natural gas.
- Access and parking. Narrow lanes and the town centre one-way system, plus regatta week when Henley is effectively closed. We plan around both.
What the inspection covers
Everything a CP12 legally has to include, on every gas appliance in the property.
- Every gas appliance checked for safe operation
- Gas tightness test on the installation
- Flue flow and spillage tests
- Ventilation checked against the appliance requirements
- Burner pressure and gas rate against manufacturer figures
- Certificate emailed to you and to the tenant the same day
A service and a safety check are not the same thing. The CP12 confirms the appliance is safe; it does not clean it. We can do both on one visit, which is cheaper than two.

Gas Safety Certificate in Henley-on-Thames, answered
How much is a CP12 in Henley-on-Thames?
A fixed price based on the number of gas appliances. Told to you when you book, with no extra for the certificate itself.
How often do I need one?
Every twelve months, for every gas appliance and flue in a rented property. It is a legal requirement, not a recommendation.
What if the tenant will not let you in?
We will attempt access, record each attempt and report back to you, which is the evidence you need to show you took reasonable steps.
Which parts of Henley-on-Thames do you cover?
All of RG9, including Henley town centre, Remenham, Harpsden, Shiplake, Sonning Common, Fawley and out towards Wargrave.
Is a CP12 the same as a service?
No. The safety check confirms the appliance is safe to use. A service cleans and tests it properly. Most landlords are better off doing both together on one visit.
What happens if something fails?
We tell you straight away with a price to fix it. An appliance classed as immediately dangerous has to be disconnected before we leave, and we will explain exactly why.
