A CP12 repeats the same appliance checks for every gas appliance in a property. Simple on paper. Brutal at volume. A busy landlord-portfolio firm runs dozens of CP12s a month, each scribbled on a pad, each retyped into a Word template, each delayed before it reaches the office. Quickler turns that into a CP12 from WhatsApp.
Gas Safe workflow
CP12 records via WhatsApp.
For Gas Safe registered engineers and the firms that employ them. The engineer answers each appliance check on their phone, Quickler builds the CP12 PDF, and the registered engineer signs off.

The problem
Where the CP12 breaks down
A CP12 repeats the same appliance checks for each gas appliance. The trouble is volume: a busy landlord-portfolio firm runs many CP12s a month, each captured on a paper pad, retyped into a Word template, and delayed before it reaches the office.
How it runs

Answer on site

Engineer signs
The registered engineer reviews and signs. The signed PDF goes to the landlord; an audit-trail copy stays in the dashboard.
Compliance
Who signs
The Gas Safe registered engineer signs the CP12, exactly as on paper. Quickler does not bypass the registered-engineer requirement and does not replace registration. The engineer reviews the generated PDF before signing, and corrections take seconds.

How it runs
The Quickler CP12 workflow
Each firm's CP12 question set is built during onboarding from your existing CP12 template, so the output matches what you already issue. The flow is short. Property address and tenant contact go into the dashboard. The Gas Safe registered engineer opens WhatsApp on site and answers the appliance checks one by one, with photos. Defects flagged by the engineer appear on the dashboard in real time. On completion the CP12 PDF is generated automatically. The registered engineer reviews and signs. The signed PDF goes to the landlord, and an audit-trail copy stays in the dashboard. As gas inspection software it kills the second pass: no retyping, no Word template, no lag between the visit and the record.
Compliance
Who signs
The Gas Safe registered engineer signs the CP12, exactly as on paper. Quickler does not bypass the registered-engineer requirement and does not replace registration. The engineer reviews the generated PDF before signing, and corrections take seconds. Only Gas Safe registered engineers can issue a CP12. Quickler handles the paperwork. It is structured inspection checklist software that captures, formats and files. It does not validate registration in real time against the Gas Safe database. That remains the employing firm's responsibility.
The output
What the landlord receives
The landlord gets a formatted CP12 PDF carrying every check on every appliance, every photo, the engineer's signature, and the Gas Safe registration number. The format is built from your firm's existing CP12 template during onboarding, so the output matches what you already issue. No house style is lost. Nothing is reinvented. The record reads exactly as the office expects, only it arrives the moment the engineer signs off rather than days later.

Questions, answered
Who signs the CP12?
The Gas Safe registered engineer, exactly as on paper. Quickler does not bypass the registered-engineer requirement and does not validate registration in real time against the Gas Safe database. That remains the employing firm's responsibility.
Can I keep using my existing CP12 template wording?
Yes. The first onboarding step is to translate your existing CP12 template into a Quickler workflow. The PDF output matches the format your firm already issues.
How are records kept for the required period?
