Annual Gas Safety Checks
from WSHA Summer 23
Gas servicing is your responsibility as well as ours!
We have a joint responsibility for your gas safety. As a tenant you must provide us with reasonable access to carry out an Annual Gas Safety check and as a Landlord we must make every effort to ensure that this check is carried out.
We take this responsibility very seriously. Unfortunately we still find it difficult to get access to some of our properties. This means that staff are contacting some tenants a significant number of times to try and encourage them to provide access and we have also had to arrange a number of forced accesses. This is time consuming for staff and is also inconvenient for tenants.
It is therefore important that you work with us to make the Service as simple as possible by providing access when requested or by offering an alternative date within the 12 month timescale.
You should be aware that if we do have to arrange a forced access, you will be re-charged all associated costs even if we don’t have to force access to your home on the day.
