Gas Engineer in Southwark

Probably both layers. Additional licensing has applied borough-wide since March 2022 — any smaller HMO outside mandatory licensing still needs a licence anywhere in Southwark. Selective licensing has covered 14 wards since November 2023, including Peckham, Nunhead & Queens Road, Old Kent Road, Camberwell Green and Rotherhithe — there, every privately rented property needs a licence. A current Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is required documentation in both cases; check your ward on the council's licensing pages.

If the flat has any gas appliance of its own — typically a gas hob — yes: that appliance and its installation pipework need the annual check, and you need the certificate. The communal heat network itself sits outside the gas safety certificate regime. If the flat has no gas appliances at all and no gas supply, no certificate is needed — we'll tell you straight rather than book an unnecessary visit.

Typically 20–30 minutes to the southern half — East Dulwich, Peckham, Camberwell — coming up through Crystal Palace and Dulwich. Bermondsey and the riverside take longer in traffic; we quote realistic windows, not optimistic ones.

Usually the flue. Conversion installations vary building by building — long horizontal flue runs, shared risers, and concealed routing are common, and flue integrity is a core part of the gas safety inspection. Bring any documentation you have from the conversion; if access panels are needed to verify a concealed flue, we'll explain exactly what's required and why before anything else happens.
