Landlords are legally responsible for the safety of their tenants.
By law, landlords are required to have a gas safety check carried out once a year on all gas appliances.
On 1 April 2009, the new Gas Safe Register replaced Corgi gas registration as the official gas safety body.
By law, only Gas Safe registered engineers should carry out work on gas appliances and installations.
To find a Gas Safe registered engineer in your area, call 0800 4085500, or visit the Gas Safe Register website
