Gas safety advice for residents
Faulty gas appliances or pipework can cause carbon monoxide poisoning and fires. Both can be deadly.
That’s why your boiler, meter, cooker and any other gas appliances must be checked and serviced every year by an accredited Gas Safe registered engineer.
If you rent your home from us, it’s essential that you give our engineers access so they can check everything is safe and working properly.
We are required by law to carry out annual gas safety checks on the appliances contained within your home. These checks are always carried out by a suitably qualified Gas Safe Registered engineer. We will post of copy of any checks completed to you within 28 days of completion.
It’s vitally important that you allow us access to your home to complete your annual gas safety check. Refusing access is a breach of your tenancy agreement and may result in further (legal) action if prompt arrangements cannot be made.
PH Jones are currently employed by Unity to carry out any safety checks and gas repairs within your home. If your Annual Gas Service is due, you can contact them directly to book an appointment for this on 01928 570370 or email them at [email protected]
If you need to report a gas repair, please continue to report these to our customer services team who can be contacted on 0113 200 7700 or [email protected]

vents used to ventilate said appliances.
