Gas Servicing 

In 1996, the government introduced a new law for all landlords who rent out a property, to employ a registered gas engineer to carry out a gas safety check at least once a year, on all gas appliances. Upon request, a landlord should be able to provide a certificate to prove that their gas appliances are serviced. If you are a leaseholder that rents out your property, you are a landlord and this law applies to you.

Even if you are not a landlord, Magna Housing Association strongly recommend that you have your boiler and other gas appliances serviced once a year. It could reduce the cost of repairs as well as ensure that your home appliances are safe for you to use

Magna’s appointed gas engineers are:
