CP12 / LGSR Acklam
A straightforward explanation of CP12 and LGSR terminology for landlords and rental properties in Acklam.
What do CP12 and LGSR mean?
CP12 is an older term that is still commonly used for landlord gas safety documentation. LGSR means Landlord Gas Safety Record. In everyday searches, landlords and tenants often use both terms when referring to the gas safety record for a rental property.
For the actual service and booking information, see Landlord Gas Safety Certificate Acklam. Keeping the booking page separate avoids repeating the same service information here.
A landlord gas safety check is also different from routine boiler servicing. If a defect or maintenance issue is identified, repair or servicing work is discussed separately.

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.
