What customers in Lewisham say

"A carbon monoxide alarm went off and I had no idea whether to ring the gas board or a private engineer. They talked me through what to do straight away, came out the same day, found a fault with the flue and sorted it. So glad I called when I did."
James Okafor Homeowner, Lewisham
"I manage rental flats across Bromley and Lewisham and the annual landlord gas certificates used to be a yearly scramble. Switched over and honestly it's effortless now. They chase the renewal, deal with the tenants, certificates land same day. Wish I'd done it sooner."
D. Kowalski Landlord
"New cooker in. Quick, clean, double-checked it was all gas-tight before signing off. No fuss at all."
Bola Homeowner, Lewisham

What Lewisham homes mean for gas work

Lewisham splits north–south: intact Victorian and Edwardian family stock through the south and east, denser conversion-and-HMO territory towards Deptford and New Cross.

1870–1914

Victorian & Edwardian south

Hither Green, Lee, Sydenham, Forest Hill. Many boilers here have run 10–15 years without a full service — exactly the stock where a strip-down service makes a measurable difference.

Dense north

Deptford & New Cross conversions

Conversions, HMOs and purpose-built flats from every era. Heavy rental turnover means gas safety certificate cycles, access coordination and quick certificate turnaround matter most here.

1920s–50s

Catford & the cottage estates

Interwar and post-war family stock including the Bellingham and Downham estates. Established gas systems, often original layout — annual servicing keeps them honest.

2010s–now

Riverside new-build

New developments around Deptford's riverside carry modern condensing combis under manufacturer warranty — annual servicing is a warranty condition.

Questions about gas engineers in Lewisham

Lewisham has selective licensing in a lot of areas — which parts?

Almost everywhere. Lewisham's selective licensing scheme — running from July 2024 to June 2029 — covers 16 of the borough's 18 wards; only Blackheath and Telegraph Hill are outside it. If your property is in a licensed ward, you need a property licence, and a current Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is required for the application and must be produced on inspection. The council's property licensing portal has a postcode checker.

My Lewisham property has a back boiler behind a gas fire — does it still need a gas safety certificate?

Yes. A back boiler and any associated gas fire both need inspecting as part of the annual safety check. Back boilers are an older technology and we see a higher rate of issues with them — blocked flues, degraded seals, pilot light faults — so the annual check is especially important.

Can you deal with my Lewisham tenant directly so I don't have to coordinate access?

Yes — provide their contact details when booking and we'll arrange access directly with your tenant and confirm the appointment without you needing to be involved. Certificate issued to you by email on the day.

My Lewisham property has a communal boiler serving multiple flats — how does that work for the gas safety certificate?

The Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) applies to individual gas appliances within tenanted dwellings. If the flats have individual gas appliances (e.g. gas hobs), those still need inspecting separately. The communal boiler itself sits under a different servicing and safety framework. Call us with the specifics and we can advise before you book.
