Gas safety service
If you have a gas supply in your home, we will carry out a service every 12 months to ensure everything is working correctly.
During the service, we’ll check the safety of your appliances to help prevent hazards and minimise the chance of breakdowns.
We'll need someone to be in your home over the age of 18 during the service. It could be you, an occupant or a trusted friend, neighbour or family. We appreciate your help in allowing us access to your home
Please note we don't carry out gas services if you're a shared owner or leaseholder. We recommend that you find a gas safe engineer to carry out your service for you. For more information about repairs responsibilities click here.
