Gas Safety Checks
Gas Appliances That We Own
We arrange for a qualified engineer to service
your gas fire and boiler and undertake a safety check every year.
When we contact you to arrange an appointment to carry out a safety
check, it is in your own interest to help us make sure this safety
check takes place.
Failure on your part to allow access for
checking or servicing of appliances will lead to court action to
gain access. We will charge the costs of this to you.
The servicing takes only 30–45 minutes and is for your own
safety.
Important: Do not block up any air vents in
your home. They provide a flow of air for the safe operation of
boilers and fires. Blocking them can cause carbon monoxide to enter
your home. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can kill.
Gas Appliances That You Own
You are responsible for safety checks on any
gas appliances you own.
Gas Leaks
Gas leaks should be reported directly to the National
Gas Emergency Service whose details and advice about what to
do if you smell gas are available on their website.
