Gas safety awareness week 19-25 September 2016
The Gas Safe register are hosting an event to highlight the importance of compliance in Gas safety. In the last 3 years there have been 22 deaths and 1000 gas related injuries in the UK. It is highly important all your gas appliances are in good working order. The Gas safe register stress the importance of working with an engineer who is fully qualified. They say ‘always check the yellow triangle’.
Gas safety is an important issue for landlords who rent residential property. They are responsible for ensuring gas appliances in the home are safe, and that checks are to be carried out by qualified and registered individuals.
As a letting agent, we work with multiple Gas safe engineers who are experts in their field. We only work with engineers we know and trust, and those who continually work to the highest standards. If you are a landlord looking to rent your property, an agent like us can be invaluable in giving you access to high quality trustworthy engineers.
Our property management service for Landlords includes the management of gas safety certificates. We notify our landlords when they are due for renewal and arrange for an engineer to visit their property.
The operatives we use are completely independent and run their own companies, so you can be sure that their advice is honest and impartial. They have a duty of care to you and to the tenant and must adhere to the strict gas safe rules and regulations.
The importance of working with the correct individual can be highlighted by Jades story, a perfect example of the need for good practice.
