"WHAT IS GAS SAFETY REGISTER?

Gas Safe Register TM is the new hallmark for gas safety in Great Britain. From April 1st 2009, Gas Safe Register replaces the CORGI gas registration scheme as the official gas safety body. So, from 1st April, by law, only Gas Safety registered engineers should carry out work on gas appliances or installations in your home."

Our property services team is committed to maintaining the homes we own to a high standard.  You can help us to keep your home in good condition by reporting repairs as soon as possible and allowing us into your home to carry them out.

 

As a landlord, we are responsible for certain repairs (mainly to the structure of the building) and you are responsible for keeping your home clean and tidy, decorating the inside and other minor repairs.  For more information about what repairs you are responsible for please see your handbook or contact our property services team.
