Gas Safety Checks

Black Country Housing > Residents > Gas Safety Checks

Gas Safety ChecksBlack Country Housing Group have a legal responsibility, as your landlord, to make sure that all gas appliances, fittings and flues that we own and you use are safe.

The law states that we need to arrange annual safety checks on all gas appliances and flues by a Gas Safe (formerly CORGI)-registered gas installer and issue you with a copy of the safety check record within 28 days.

It is a legal requirement for us to provide, at no cost to you, a Gas Safe-approved contractor as outlined in our Gas Safety Policy. These safety checks are organised by our maintenance department.

We cannot stress the importance of this check enough and need to make you aware that if you do not allow the contractors access to your property we will commence legal actions, the outcome of which can be as severe as eviction. We don’t like to do this but we cannot risk the safety of our residents or their neighbours.
