Leaseholders' Handbook - Plymouth Community Homes

Gas and Electrical Servicing
You have a responsibility to ensure that your gas
appliances, flue and pipes are serviced and
maintained regularly. You should service your gas
annually to ensure that it works properly and to
prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. You cannot
smell or see carbon monoxide but it is dangerous
and can kill. Servicing your appliances will ensure
that this does not gather in your home. We
recommend that your gas servicing is done by a
Gas Safe Registered engineer.
Plymouth Community Homes is able to arrange
for your gas appliances to be serviced for you. If
you would like us to do this please contact our
repairs call centre on 08082 306500 and they will
be happy to make the arrangements. There is a
small charge for this service which you must pay
before the engineer can call to do the work.
If you notice a gas leak in your property, call the
National Grid immediately on 0800 111 999.
National Grid is an organisation responsible for
transporting and distributing gas to your door. You
can get them at any time of the day or night. They
will advise you on what to do.
You also have a responsibility to have your electrics
and appliances regularly tested for safety.
If you live in a block and are planning to replace
your cooker you will need to ensure that the new
cooker you purchase is one designed specifically
for flats.
