CP12 / LGSR Linthorpe
CP12 and Landlord Gas Safety Record terminology explained for Linthorpe landlords and letting agents.
CP12, LGSR and landlord gas safety records
Landlords may see several terms used for gas safety paperwork. LGSR stands for Landlord Gas Safety Record, while CP12 is an older name that many people still use when arranging the same type of landlord gas safety documentation.
For inspection details and booking, use the main Landlord Gas Safety Certificate Linthorpe page. This page is kept focused on terminology so the two URLs do not duplicate one another.
Routine boiler servicing is separate from a landlord gas safety check, even where both are discussed for the same property.

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.
