We have also developed a Covid-19 risk assessment before each job. Our team are contacting customers before visits to make sure they haven’t been diagnosed with Covid-19, or advised to self-isolate.
The following guidelines have also been implemented with immediate effect.
Keeping a minimum of 2m apart from people in the property
Wearing protective shoe covers
Wearing disposable gloves
Washing hands frequently.
Wiping down all surfaces with disinfectant.
If any of our team show any signs of COVID-19 symptoms they will be asked to self-isolate.
We monitor government guidelines to assess levels of risk and will continue to do so as we attempt to prioritise the health and safety of our customers and engineers above all else. We will take appropriate action as and when it is suitable to do so.

Watch our company director Michael explain what this means for landlords and tenants –
In short, yes. The only reason a gas check would not be completed would be if tenants are refusing access to the property due to Covid-19. In this instance you would have to keep records of attempts you have made to reasonably gain access to the property. If a serious incident was to occur, and your gas appliance or flue system did not have a valid gas safety certificate, you may be asked to provide evidence of your attempts. Landlords are responsible for their properties and have a duty of care to their tenants. This means that Registered Gas Engineers are not responsible for Landlords Gas Safety Checks being in place or up to date.
