Gas Safety Certificate in Hackney
Professional gas safety certificate support for landlords, letting agents, property managers, homeowners in Hackney and nearby parts of Hackney.
Gas Safety Certificate service in Hackney
FLCL covers Hackney and the wider Hackney area. Hackney combines period terraces, converted flats, estates, modern apartments, HMOs and mixed-use premises, creating varied compliance and electrical-service requirements.
A landlord gas-safety check covers relevant gas appliances, flues, safety devices and ventilation as applicable to the property and agreed scope.
Where requirements are met, the attending Gas Safe registered engineer issues the landlord gas safety record (commonly called a CP12). Repairs and servicing are separate unless agreed.
For the full London-wide scope, pricing notes and service information, see the main Gas Safety Certificate page.

Gas Safety Certificate considerations in Hackney
Landlords with relevant gas appliances or gas installation pipework generally have annual gas-safety duties. The check must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer qualified for the relevant work category.
The exact service scope depends on the actual property, installed systems, access, occupancy and the conditions found on site. We do not claim a local office in Hackney; this page describes genuine service-area coverage.
Before the visit

- ✓ Provide previous gas-safety records where available.
- ✓ Confirm tenant/keyholder access before the appointment.
- ✓ Tell us about known boiler or appliance faults before attendance.
Gas Safety Certificate — the legal framework in Hackney
Under this national law, landlords with a gas appliance, fitting or flue in a rented property must have it checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and must give tenants a copy of the record — commonly called a CP12 or Landlord Gas Safety Record — within 28 days of the check. Source: Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. This national duty applies the same way in Hackney as everywhere else in England — what genuinely varies by area is the local council licensing scheme below, not the underlying safety law.
Local licensing in Hackney
Selective licensing (17 of 21 wards) + Additional HMO licensing (borough-wide)
New schemes approved to start 1 May 2026 — Additional licensing covers qualifying HMOs borough-wide; Selective licensing covers 17 of Hackney's 21 wards. Confirm the exact ward boundary for a specific address before applying.
