Our annual Gas Safety Inspection Programme will begin soon.
In line with Health & Safety legislation, the Association is legally required to ensure that all gas appliances it provides are maintained in a safe condition.
As part of this responsibility, we carry out routine repairs, maintenance, and annual gas safety inspections of appliances and flues within our properties.
👷♂️ This year’s inspections will be carried out on our behalf by J. Frood & Sons, a Gas Safe Registered contractor, based at 47 Wellgate, Lanark, ML11 9DS.
If your home has gas central heating, you will receive a letter in advance with the date and time of your inspection, along with contact details should you need to rearrange due to significant inconvenience.
These inspections are vital to ensure your safety and that of your household and neighbours. Faulty gas appliances can lead to serious risks, including:
☠️ Carbon monoxide poisoning
💨 Gas leaks
💥 Explosions
The inspection ensures that any issues are identified early and fixed promptly.
Due to the critical nature of these checks:
❌ A missed appointment will incur a recharge, as outlined in your appointment letter.
🚪 If access is denied on three separate occasions, we will seek legal permission to enter the property to carry out the inspection and any necessary repairs.
💷 All associated costs, including contractor and legal fees, may be recovered from the tenant.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep your home and community safe. 🏡❤️
