Gas Safety Certificate in Salford — CP12 from £70
A gas safety certificate — formally known as a CP12 — is a legal requirement for landlords renting out properties with gas appliances in Salford. It's also a wise safety precaution for any homeowner who wants to confirm their boiler and gas installations are safe. Next Gen Boilers Ltd provides professional gas safety inspections and CP12 certificates across Salford, Irlam, Eccles, Swinton, Worsley, Walkden and the wider Greater Manchester area, from just £70.
All of our gas safety inspections are carried out by fully qualified, Gas Safe registered engineers. When we visit your property, we'll check every gas appliance, all pipework, gas pressure and ventilation to ensure everything meets current safety standards. At the end of the inspection, we issue a Gas Safety Record (CP12) — an official legal document you can keep on file and provide to your tenants.
With appointments available throughout the week including Saturdays, we make it easy to book your gas safety certificate in Salford without disrupting your schedule. Most inspections take between 30 and 45 minutes per property.

What Does a Gas Safety Inspection Cover in Salford?
Our qualified Gas Safe engineers check every gas appliance and installation at your Salford property during the CP12 inspection. This includes:
- Boiler inspection — Checking operation, safety controls, flue integrity and combustion
- Gas hob and cooker checks (if applicable) — Testing burners, controls and connections
- Gas fire inspection (if applicable) — Checking operation, ventilation and flue
- Gas pipework inspection — Visual check of all accessible gas pipes for corrosion, damage or improper joints
- Gas pressure test — Verifying the incoming gas pressure is correct
- Ventilation checks — Ensuring all appliances have adequate ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide build-up
- Flue gas analysis — Testing combustion products on the boiler to confirm safe operation
Once all checks are complete, we issue your CP12 Gas Safety Record on the day. If any appliances fail the inspection, we'll advise you on the best course of action.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a gas safety certificate cost in Salford?
Our gas safety certificate (CP12) in Salford costs £70 for a single gas appliance. If you combine it with an annual boiler service, the combined price is £130 — saving £20. Multiple appliance inspections may cost slightly more.
How long does it take to get a gas safety certificate in Salford?
A standard gas safety inspection for a single appliance (boiler only) typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Properties with multiple gas appliances such as a boiler, gas hob and gas fire may take a little longer. We'll advise you when booking.
How often is a gas safety certificate required in Salford?
Landlords are legally required to renew their gas safety certificate every 12 months. For homeowners, an annual gas safety check is strongly recommended but not a legal requirement. We recommend pairing it with your annual boiler service.
What happens if my boiler fails the gas safety inspection?
If our engineer identifies any safety concerns during the inspection, they will advise you immediately. Minor issues may be rectified on the same visit. If an appliance is considered unsafe, it may need to be isolated until repaired. We will provide a clear explanation and a quote for any remedial work.
Can you do a gas safety certificate the same week in Salford?
In most cases, yes. We typically have availability within a few days across Salford, and often sooner. If you need a CP12 urgently — for example for a new tenancy — call us on 07305 687 331 and we'll do our best to accommodate you as quickly as possible.
