Gas safety
By law, Peabody must carry out a gas safety check on all properties (except leasehold) every year.
Regular checks are designed to keep you safe and save you money by ensuring that your systems are working at their best.
The gas safety check takes about an hour and is free.
Our contractors, K&T and Seaflame, will contact you when your check is due. For your convenience appointments are available Monday to Friday, morning or afternoon, and you can change your appointment by calling the contractor direct. Keep your scheduled appointment and you could win £300.
If you smell gas:
- don't strike a match or use naked flames
- put out cigarettes and cigars
- don't use electrical switches
- open doors and windows to let the gas escape
- check to see if the gas tap has been left on, or a gas ring or pilot light has blown out
If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the whole supply at the meter and contact the Gas Emergency Service (National Grid) immediately on freephone 0800 111 999.
Further advice about gas safety is available on the National Grid website.
