Gas safety checks
If you rent a home managed by Tower Hamlets Homes you get a
free annual service and safety check of your gas appliances.
Our fully-qualified gas safety contractors will give your home the
expert treatment to keep things working properly. And for your
peace of mind, we will give you a copy of the gas safety
certificate after the annual service.
By law, we must have gas appliances in your home checked for
safety every year. If the annual service reveals a problem, we will
tell you what work needs to be done, and when a contractor will
come to fix it.
How you will know when the annual
service is due?
Once a year, before your annual service is
due, we'll write to you with an appointment. Please make sure
someone’s at home to let our gas safety contractors in.
If you can’t make the appointment, please ring
the number we give you to arrange a time that’s convenient to
you.
Getting access to carry out the annual
service
It is your responsibility to let our gas
safety contractor into your property. If our contractors can’t
get in to carry out the service after 3 attempts we will issue you
with a formal ‘final notice’, giving you warning that we will begin
legal action to gain access to your home.
If we have to take legal action you will be
liable for any court costs.
