Gas Safe have issued guidance with regards to what works can still be carried out by their registered engineers in tenanted properties given the current circumstances. Landlords still have a legal duty to repair and maintain gas pipework, flues and appliances in a safe condition and there must be an up to date annual gas safety check on each appliance and flue. The latest restrictions on leaving the home currently allow Gas Safe registered gas engineers to undertake these essential works whilst taking the appropriate safety measures.

We will only deploy a contractor to your property if it is absolutely necessary and in line with The Repairing Standards legislation (https://www.mygov.scot/landlord-repairs/repairing-standard/). We will ask both tenants and contractors beforehand whether they have a high temperature, a recent dry cough or have had any contact with anyone with symptoms.

All contractors will take the appropriate precautions listed below to avoid spreading or contracting the virus in a new setting.
