Landlord/HomeOwner Gas Safety Record South London |

It is a criminal offence for the landlord/agent not to have all gas appliances serviced and checked every 12 months, or for them to use someone who is not C.O.R.G.I. registered. The service record should either be given to you when you move in or displayed in the property.
If the landlord/agent refuses to have the gas appliances serviced, or they do not act on concerns that you raise, contact Environmental Health. They will check the appliances are
safe and can then serve legal notices on the landlord/agent to have a full service carried out. They can also report them to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for not carrying out their legal obligations. The HSE have the power to instigate criminal proceedings against the landlord/agent. |

In the case of a gas leak, contact National Grid UK. If there is a fault they may make the appliance safe by disconnecting the service but they have no power to request that the landlord/agent carries out repairs. |

All registered engineers should have an ID card, with a photograph, their name and business details. On the back of the card will be a list of the types of work that they are competent to carry out. Ask to see this identification card before any work is carried out. If you are unsure if the person is C.O.R.G.I. registered, check with C.O.R.G.I. You will need to give the engineer's name and business details and registration number (if available). |

Don't be put off asking the landlord to investigate a possible problem by them telling you the appliance is safe because they have a gas service record. This record is for a given day, gas appliances can develop faults at anytime the fact that they have recently been serviced does not mean that they have not subsequently develop a potentially dangerous fault.
