Are you safer being a tenant?
I met a
landlord who told me that he looked after his tenants’ safety better than his
family’s.
It’s a sad fact
that safety is often driven by legislation and Landlords are required to comply
with more regulations regarding their tenants’ gas safety, than that of their
family home.
The legal
requirements that Landlords have to comply with include,
·
Having
a gas safety check carried out every 12 months, including 12 months after
installation of a new gas appliance and this must be carried out by a Gas Safe
registered engineer.
·
Keeping a record of this safety check for 2 years.
·
Providing a copy of the safety check to each existing tenant
within 28 days of the check being completed and a copy must be given to any new
tenant before they move in.
It got me
thinking - what if the same legal compliance on gas safety checking was
required for the home owner? The idea of parents presenting copies of annual
gas safety certificates to their children may be ridiculous, but deaths and
injuries occur every week from gas related incidents and most, if not all, are
preventable.
So how best can I protect my family?
The
gas safety checks (as required by Landlords) involve checking gas appliances
and pipework, but do not include boiler servicing. Similarly, a boiler service
does not include checking Gas hobs, ovens, fires and associated pipework.
This is why I recommend
to all my clients that they invest £125 in our ‘Dual Safety’ service.
Our Dual Safety
service includes both,
·
Gas
Safety Check and Certification,
·
And a
Boiler Service.
When is a plumber not a plumber?
The
answer is - when they’re a gas safety engineer. Not all plumbers are gas safe
registered with the required training and qualification and it is illegal and
dangerous for anyone who is not Gas Safe registered to work on gas.
