Gas servicing

In 1996 the government introduced a new law for all landlords who rent out properties 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 who 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 recommends 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
