We are legally required to carry out annual inspections of all gas appliances and installations that we have put in your home. Our gas contractor, TSG will notify you when your annual inspection is due and agree an appointment. Please do respond when you get your notification as this is an important safety matter (see information on carbon monoxide on page 14).
PLEASE NOTE: You are responsible for ensuring your own gas appliances are properly maintained and safe to use. If something is found to be unsafe during TSG’s checks, they may cap your gas supply and even condemn your appliance if necessary.
It is our legal responsibility to conduct regular electrical maintenance checks to make sure your home is safe.
We need to carry out electrical checks to our properties every five years.
Our Business Support Team will send you details of your electrical maintenance check when it’s scheduled in.
It is important that you are present and allow us access to your home to perform the checks. This can take up to four hours, dependent on the size of your home and our findings, but the test will typically take around two to three hours.
If your home has an open fire and chimney, it is your responsibility to get the chimney swept. This should be done at least once a year, although every six months is ideal. We will carry out an annual inspection for anyone with a closed solid fuel appliance such as a Parkray or Rayburn. If you have such an appliance but would like to discuss an alternative form of heating, please contact our Asset Management team.
