Gas servicing and maintenance

We are committed to ensuring the highest possible standards in gas safety. As your landlord we have a legal duty to ensure that gas appliances, gas piping and flues in your home are well maintained and safe.

You can expect us to:

  • ensure gas fittings, gas pipes and flues are maintained in a safe condition
  • ensure that a gas safety check is carried out every 12 months by a GAS SAFE registered installer
  • provide you with the safety record within 28 days of the check being completed
  • take all reasonable steps to ensure that servicing of appliances is carried out. This may include taking legal action to force entry if required
  • give you at least 24 hours notice in writing before carrying out any work in your home. 

What we expect from you:

  • you must allow access to your property to enable us to carry out the servicing and safety checks listed above.
