Gas service for leaseholders
Gas service for leaseholders
If you are a leaseholder it is your responsibility to service your gas pipes and appliances. And if you are subletting, as a landlord, you are responsible for the safety of your tenants.

Remember, safety checks are not only partof your legal requirements, they ensurethat appliances are working correctlyand guard against the dangers of carbonmonoxide. There are two main types of gasservice you can access:
- Pay a one-off fee for a service and if any repairs are required, pay for the parts and labour separately; or
- Take out an annual gas contract with a gas contractor which will include an annual gas service and provide cover for parts and labour in the event of breakdown
Service contracts vary and you should compare registered contractors to ensure that you obtain the contract that is bestfor you.
