CP17 Commercial Gas Safety Certificate London
Request a CP17 commercial gas safety certificate enquiry in London for non-domestic gas installations, pipework, plant rooms, commercial appliances, landlord-controlled systems, shops, offices and managed premises. Send the postcode, business type, appliance list, fuel type, access details, certificate wording and deadline so the suitable route can be confirmed by phone or email.
CP17 is commonly linked with non-domestic gas installation and premises safety records. It is not the same as a CP42 catering gas certificate or a domestic CP12 landlord gas safety certificate. The correct route depends on the site, appliance list and wording requested.
Send the CP17 wording and site details first
Many customers ask for a CP17 because an insurer, landlord, managing agent, facilities team or tenant has named it. Send the exact wording you have been given so the enquiry is not routed as CP42, CP12, boiler-only or LPG by mistake.
- Your name, contact number and email address.
- Full site address, postcode, business type and access contact.
- Gas appliance list, fuel type, plant room or landlord-controlled area notes.
- Exact certificate wording, requester details and deadline.
CP17 enquiries for non-domestic and managed premises
This page is for customers who have been asked for CP17 or non-domestic commercial gas safety paperwork. It is written separately from the CP42 catering page because a CP17-style enquiry is usually about the commercial gas installation, plant, pipework, boiler room, landlord-controlled system or wider premises record rather than only kitchen appliances.
Shops, offices and commercial units
Useful where the enquiry relates to a boiler, water heater, heater, pipework, plant room or landlord-controlled gas installation in a business unit.
Managed buildings and plant areas
For managing agents, facilities teams and property managers arranging access to plant rooms, risers, meters or shared commercial areas.
Commercial landlords and handovers
Relevant before a lease, renewal, insurance check, tenant handover or managing-agent compliance file where non-domestic gas evidence has been requested.
Mixed commercial sites
Helpful where one premises includes offices, retail, hospitality, plant, catering equipment or LPG and the correct gas record needs checking before booking.
CP17 is not a replacement name for every commercial gas certificate
CP17 is often searched alongside commercial gas safety certificate, but the right paperwork still depends on the premises and equipment. A restaurant with commercial cooking appliances may need a CP42 route. A domestic rented flat usually points towards CP12. A boiler room, non-domestic pipework, landlord-controlled commercial system or managed premises may be closer to a CP17-style route.
If the request mentions CP15, CP16, LPG, plant, purging, commissioning, catering appliances or a commercial boiler, include that wording in the enquiry. It is better to send too much context than to book the wrong certificate route.
Not sure if CP17 is right?
Use the main commercial gas certificate page if the request mentions several certificate names or the site has more than one type of gas equipment.

Why London businesses ask for CP17 paperwork
CP17 enquiries are often deadline-led. The customer may need a record for insurance, a lease, landlord evidence, tenant handover, planned maintenance, annual renewal or a managing-agent compliance request.
Insurance renewal
Send the insurer wording, site type, appliance list and renewal deadline so the certificate route can be checked before the policy date.
Lease or tenant handover
Commercial landlords and agents should include the lease wording, tenant access contact, landlord-controlled equipment and handover date.
Shop, office or clinic
Business units may need gas paperwork for boilers, water heaters, heaters, plant areas, landlord services or shared commercial gas installations.
Managed portfolio
Property managers can send a list of sites, access contacts, appliance notes and deadlines so each enquiry can be routed without repeated calls.
Commercial gas work must match the correct competence category
Non-domestic gas work should be handled by a suitably registered and competent Gas Safe engineer for the relevant type of appliance, fuel and premises. A CP17-style request can involve different practical checks from a CP42 catering record, a CP12 domestic landlord certificate, a boiler service, LPG work or specialist CP15 and CP16 requests.
If there is an immediate smell of gas or suspected gas escape, treat it as an emergency and follow the relevant emergency guidance before arranging routine certification.
