CP12 / LGSR Marton
What CP12 and LGSR mean when arranging landlord gas safety checks for a rental property in Marton.
Understanding the terminology
CP12 remains a familiar search term, although LGSR — Landlord Gas Safety Record — more directly describes the document landlords receive following the relevant gas safety inspection.
If you need to arrange the inspection rather than just understand the terminology, go to Landlord Gas Safety Certificate Marton. That is the main booking/service page.
A boiler service has a different purpose. For routine appliance maintenance, see boiler servicing in Marton.
Frequently asked questions
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.
Why do people still call it a CP12?
CP12 is an older term that remains widely recognised by landlords, agents and tenants, so it is still commonly used when people search for landlord gas safety documentation.

Gas Safety Advice
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.
