If you entered into a new rental agreement on or after 29 March 2021, or have a fixed term agreement of more than five years that rolled over into a periodic tenancy on or after that date, you must conduct gas and electrical safety checks every two years, and smoke alarm safety checks every 12 months.

Each safety check is conducted efficiently to minimise disruption. Gas and electrical checks typically take longer depending on the number of installations and appliances, while smoke alarm checks are generally quick. Our licensed technicians will provide you with an estimated timeframe when you book.

You’ll receive written compliance certificates or documentation from the licensed technician. This will include technician details and licence number, the date of inspection, and results of any repairs carried out. These records must be kept until the next safety check is completed and can be provided to tenants within seven days of their request.

If any faults are identified, our licensed technicians will advise you of the issue and the required repairs. For gas safety checks, certain faults such as PTR valve issues must be urgently repaired on site as per VBA requirements. We can provide quotes and complete any necessary repairs to ensure your property remains compliant.

Yes. You can book gas, electrical and smoke alarm safety checks together, or select individual checks based on your property’s compliance schedule. Booking all three ensures complete peace of mind and streamlines your compliance obligations.
