Safety checks

Gas Safety checks

Every year we are required by law to carry out gas safety checks to ensure our appliances are safe and working properly. 

When an engineer does a gas safety check they’ll record the checks they carry out on a form. This is called a Landlord Gas Safety Record, and it should list all of the appliances and fittings the engineer checked. We will provide you with your own copy of this record, either at the time of the check or within 28 days of the check being completed.

The gas safety check can be carried out any time from 10-12 months after the last completed check, without affecting the original expected expiry date.  This may mean that your new anniversary date is not exactly 12 months from the date of your recent check.

If it’s less than 10 months or more than 12 months after the last check, there will be a new deadline date in exactly 12 months.

You are responsible for ensuring your own gas appliances are safe.  We recommend that you have your gas cooker serviced on an annual basis.  Please ensure that you only instruct a Gas Safe registered engineer to carry out this service.  Unsafe gas appliances can put you at risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, gas leaks, fires and explosions.  Check for warning signs that they are not working properly e.g. black sooty marks or stains on or around the appliance and high levels of condensation in the kitchen.

Electrical Safety Checks

Every five years we are required by law to carry out electrical safety checks on our installations to ensure all electrics are safe and working properly. We will contact you at the appropriate time to make an appointment. This does not apply to your personal electrical goods.
