We carry out Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) in Lewisham across SE4, SE6, SE8, SE9, SE10, SE12, SE13, SE14 and SE23. Lewisham is an active selective licensing borough, with large swathes of the private rental sector subject to additional compliance requirements — Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) records are non-negotiable.
Property licensing in Lewisham — what it means for you
Lewisham's selective licensing scheme runs from July 2024 to June 2029 and covers 16 of the borough's 18 wards (all except Blackheath and Telegraph Hill). Gas safety certification is among the statutory documents inspectors look for.
Getting Ready. In a borough this heavily licensed, the simplest defence is a fixed annual renewal date for the Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) — so it's already current whenever a licence application or inspection lands. We issue digitally the same day.

What landlords 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."
"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."
Gas safety certificate questions in Lewisham
My Lewisham ward is in the selective scheme — when do I actually need the certificate?
Before the tenancy and before the licence: you need a current Gas Safety Certificate to apply for or renew the property licence, then a fresh one each year after. In a 16-ward borough like Lewisham the practical move is to put renewals on a fixed yearly date, so the certificate is never the thing an inspection or application waits on. We issue digitally the same day.
Is Blackheath or Telegraph Hill exempt from needing a CP12?
From licensing, yes — those two wards sit outside Lewisham's selective scheme. From the certificate, no: the annual Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is national law for every tenanted property with gas, anywhere, licensed ward or not. The scheme changes the paperwork around the certificate, never the duty itself.
