Sample CP43 with fictional data. All personal details shown are fake.

A CP43, once called a flue in void risk assessment, documents a risk assessment for gas flues passing through voids such as ceiling spaces, floor cavities, or service risers. Where a flue passes through a space that is not readily accessible for visual inspection, the engineer must assess the risk of flue gas leakage into occupied areas. Gas Safe Technical Bulletin TB 008 provides the framework for this assessment.

Frequently asked questions about CP43

When is a flue in void risk assessment needed?
A CP43 is needed whenever a gas flue passes through a void (ceiling space, floor cavity, or service riser) where joints are not visible or accessible for inspection. This commonly arises during landlord gas safety checks when the engineer identifies a concealed flue route.
What happens if the risk assessment identifies a high risk?
The engineer should recommend remedial work such as installing an access panel, adding CO detection in the void, or re-routing the flue. In some cases the appliance may be classified At Risk until the void can be inspected or made safe.
