Gas safety checks
Safety checks will be made on your fire, boiler, pipework and flues to prevent the build up and leakage of carbon monoxide fumes, which have no smell or taste, but are highly poisonous.
We will notify you by letter of a gas service appointment in your home or you can request a gas safety check online.
Let us know if you can’t make this appointment and we will re-arrange it at a suitable time. In the unlikely event that you fail to give engineers access, we will follow a legal process to gain entry.
LMH has appointed a company called Morgan Lambert to check the quality of the work. So, after you’ve had your gas service, you may be contacted by them and asked a few questions.
Remember your annual gas service is free and it will help to ensure your home is a safe place to be.
