How much does a landlord gas safety certificate cost in Surrey in 2026?
By Carlton Fuller · Founder & Master Gas Engineer, 30 years' experience

A landlord gas safety certificate (CP12) in Surrey typically costs between £65 and £120 depending on the engineer, the number of appliances and whether emergency rates apply. At CAF Heating the price is a flat £85 for a standard single-property certificate, with same-day digital delivery included.
What the price covers
- ◆A safety check of every gas appliance at the property - boiler, gas fire, gas cooker if present
- ◆Flue and ventilation inspection to current standards
- ◆A tightness test on the gas installation
- ◆A digital certificate emailed within hours of the inspection
- ◆A dated record ready to share with your tenant and store for your portfolio
What affects the price
- ◆Number of appliances - a property with boiler, fire and gas cooker takes longer than one with a boiler only
- ◆Access and parking - some providers add a surcharge for central London postcodes
- ◆Speed - same-day or next-day bookings may cost more with engineers who do not offer fixed pricing
- ◆Certificate format - paper-only delivery sometimes costs less, but digital delivery is far more practical
Portfolio pricing
If you manage multiple properties, the per-certificate cost falls quickly. We offer reduced rates for landlords booking two or more certificates in the same visit or on the same day. Letting agents across Croydon, Sutton, Lambeth and Southwark regularly book us across managed portfolios - call to discuss a bulk rate.
The cheapest quote is not always the best value
The Gas Safe Register publishes fines of up to £6,000 for inadequate inspections. A certificate issued by an unregistered engineer is worth nothing legally. Always check any engineer you hire is on the Gas Safe Register at gassaferegister.co.uk before booking.

Book a CP12Frequently asked
Can I get a cheaper CP12 if I have a new boiler?
A new boiler does not change the scope of the inspection - all gas appliances and the installation as a whole must still be checked. The price is driven by the number of appliances and access time, not the boiler age.
Is VAT charged on top of the £85?
CAF Heating is not currently VAT registered, so the £85 is the total price with no VAT addition. We will update our pricing if our VAT status changes.
