CP12 / LGSR Middlesbrough
A straightforward guide to CP12 and LGSR landlord gas safety records for rental properties in Middlesbrough.
What do CP12 and LGSR mean?
CP12 is a commonly used older term for a landlord gas safety certificate. LGSR means Landlord Gas Safety Record. Customers often use both terms when looking for the annual gas safety record required for a rental property.
For the main booking and service information, see Landlord Gas Safety Certificate Middlesbrough. This page is kept focused on explaining the terminology rather than duplicating the full service page.
A gas safety check is separate from a routine boiler service. If a defect or maintenance issue is found, any additional repair or servicing work should be discussed separately.

What should I do if I smell gas?
If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, turn off the gas at the emergency control valve if safe to do so, ventilate the property, avoid using electrical switches or naked flames, leave the property if necessary and call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.
What does a gas leak smell like?
Natural gas is odourless, but an odourant is added so leaks are easier to detect. It is commonly described as a strong sulphur or rotten-egg smell. Carbon monoxide is different: it has no smell, colour or taste, so a working carbon monoxide alarm is important around fuel-burning appliances.
Who should check a suspected gas leak?
If you suspect an active gas escape, contact the National Gas Emergency Service first on 0800 111 999 and follow their instructions. Once the immediate situation has been made safe, a Gas Safe registered engineer can inspect or repair an affected gas appliance where further work is required.
