Safety First
KHT is reminding all of its tenants to ensure they get their gas
appliances checked every year. Gas Safety checks are a very
important legal requirement that KHT must carry out on an annual
basis. The reason for this is that an inspection can spot if an
appliance is leaking carbon monoxide, which is an invisible,
odourless and tasteless gas. Carbon Monoxide can damage your health
and in the worst cases cause death.
A small number of customers have failed to allow our staff access
into their homes for this work to be carried out. By denying access
to your home you could be putting both your own and other
people’s lives at risk. This is why, in such cases, we are
committed to taking legal action where appropriate.
We now have a facility in the Tenant’s Area of the KHT
website which enables you to find out when your next gas servicing
inspection is due. To be able to make use of this facility all you
need to do is register on this site. If your survey is due shortly,
you can call us and book an appointment for one of our heating and
ventilation fitters to inspect the gas appliances in your home and
make sure they are safe. Simply call us on either of our two
numbers:
General Enquiries: 0151 290 7000
Repairs: 0500 96 96 94
Typetalk users prefix these numbers with 18001. Interpreting
services are also available.
There is no cost to KHT tenants for annual gas servicing, however
the price we all pay for none compliance may be too high. So if you
are a KHT tenant and are due to have your gas safety check carried
out, don’t delay – call us today.
