Commercial Gas Installation Safety Report (Non-domestic) (CP17)
Our Service
Comprehensive Safety for Gas Networks
In a commercial environment, gas safety goes far beyond just the boiler. The CP17 is the industry-standard report for inspecting your gas installation pipework and meter area. At Safety Property, our certified commercial engineers rigorously inspect the “run” of your gas line—from the meter inlet all the way to your appliances—ensuring your infrastructure is leak-free and compliant with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
Why Choose Safety Property?
Whole-System Check: We don’t just look at the appliance; we inspect the pipework, isolation valves, emergency controls, and ventilation.
Same-Day Certification: Our digital reporting system sends the CP17 straight to your inbox instantly upon completion.
Non-Domestic Experts: Our team holds specific accreditations (TPCP1/1A) required to inspect large diameter pipework (>35mm).
Service Standards:
Tightness Testing: We perform high-accuracy pressure drop tests to confirm the entire pipe network is gas-tight.
Visual Inspection: We check for corrosion, correct support brackets, and identification banding on all visible pipes.
Emergency Controls: We verify that the main gas shut-off valve is accessible, functional, and correctly labeled.
Legal Compliance
Commercial landlords and business owners have a legal duty to maintain their gas installation. A CP17 report provides the necessary evidence that your pipework is safe and complies with British Standards.
Detect Hidden Leaks
Tiny leaks in long pipe runs can go unnoticed for months, building up dangerous gas pockets. Our sensitive digital manometers detect pressure drops that the human nose cannot.
Corrosion Management
Commercial pipes are often exposed to harsh environments. We identify early signs of rust or physical damage, allowing you to paint or repair pipes before they degrade dangerously.
Valid Insurance
In the event of a fire or gas incident, insurers will demand proof of maintenance. A current CP17 report validates that your gas network was inspected by a "competent person."
Do You Have a Valid CP17 for Your Pipework?
Our Expertise
Mapped, Checked, and Certified
Commercial gas installations can be mazes of steel and copper running through voids, risers, and plant rooms. Safety Property engineers are trained to trace these complex lines. We assess ventilation in ducts, verify solenoid valves, and ensure interlocks are functioning. We leave no stone unturned in verifying the integrity of your infrastructure.

What is a CP17 Report?
While a CP15 checks the boiler, the CP17 checks the network that feeds it. It is a “Commercial Gas Installation Safety Report.”
This inspection covers:
The Gas Meter: Checking the regulator and emergency control valve (ECV).
The Pipework: Inspecting the entire run for leaks, corrosion, and proper support.
Safety Devices: Testing solenoid valves, thermal cut-offs, and emergency knock-off buttons.
Ventilation: Ensuring pipe ducts and voids are adequately vented to prevent gas buildup.
Why is the CP17 Vital?
Many businesses service their boilers but neglect the pipes feeding them. A failure in the pipework is just as dangerous—if not more so—than a boiler fault.

Common Questions
FAQs About CP17 Reports
Understanding the difference between appliance checks and installation checks can be tricky. Here are the answers to common questions about CP17s.
Ideally, yes. The CP15 certifies the appliance (boiler). The CP17 certifies the installation (pipes and meter). For full compliance, especially in large buildings, you should hold both.
Under the Gas Safety Regulations, inspections must be "annual." Most responsible landlords commission a CP17 once a year alongside the appliance service to ensure the whole system is safe.
We carry out a "Tightness Test" (pressure test). If the pressure drops, we know there is a leak, even if we can't see it. We will then advise on tracing and repair.
It covers the safety around the meter (ventilation, accessibility, emergency handle). However, the meter itself is usually the property of the gas transporter. If the meter mechanism is faulty, we report it to the grid provider.
