Gas safety

If you can smell gas:
You must report this to your gas supplier immediately. Contact details should be available on your gas meter.

We’re required to carry out a free yearly gas safety inspection at your home, which typically takes less than an hour. It’s part of your tenancy agreement to let us access your property and carry out these safety checks.

We’ll write to let you know when it’s time to request your gas safety inspection in advance of the annual deadline.

If you fail to request an appointment, we will book one for you and write to let you know which day it will be. If you are not at home to allow access during the scheduled appointment we may force entry to your property, and you may incur a charge for this.
