Landlord Emergency Cover

With 2010’s ‘big freeze’ and unpredictable climate change, peace of mind has never been quite so important. Check out our statistics below:

• 2010 experienced the coldest winter since 1962/3 (The Independent)
• The bill for burst pipes was an estimated at 75m a week (The Independent)
• Insurers paid out £644 million to homeowners following damage from escaped water (Association of British Insurers)
• British Gas engineers fixed around 10,000 boilers in the 6 weeks prior to Christmas Eve
• The ‘big freeze’ caused a 30% increase in emergency repairs than the year before (Home Heating Guide)

With increasing erratic weather patterns and domestic emergencies - why take the risk? For a low cost plan,  you can rest assured that you have a reliable tradesman available every minute of every day.

Since the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, there has been a duty on landlords to ensure that gas appliances, fittings and flues are safe for tenants’ use.

Your main duties are:

• Ensure gas fittings and flues are kept in a safe condition
• Arrange an annual CP12 check for every gas appliance/flue  at the property
• Have any installation, maintenance and safety checks carried out by a Gas Safe Engineer
• Keep the safety certificate on record for at least 2 years
• Provide your existing tenants with the safety certificate within 28 days of the check being completed
