Gas Safety Policy

The purpose of this policy is to ensure the safe of people in properties owned or managed by Housing 21 that have gas-fuelled heating appliances (‘gas appliances’). Gas appliances and their associated chimneys and flues can pose a serious risk to health if they are not properly installed and maintained. We aim to protect the occupiers of our properties, as well as other residents, employees, contractors, and visitors from the risks of gas so far as is reasonably practicable.

Housing 21 service and repair all gas appliances and systems installed and owned by the organisation, whether in a resident’s home or in a communal area. These responsibilities may extend to the homes we manage on behalf of other landlords, depending on the arrangements in place for those courts. 

The annual gas inspection also extends to properties with no gas appliances where there is an inactive gas meter or service pipe which requires inspection. Residents must remember that they are responsible for the condition and safety of their own appliances.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Housing 21 aspires to embed diversity and inclusion within all our organisational activities to enable these principles to become part of our everyday processes.
