  • Under five years old; or
  • Of Pensionable Age, disabled, or chronically sick and either;
    • Live alone; or
    • Live with others who are all of Pensionable Age, disabled, chronically sick, or under 18 years old

Please note that you must:

  • not occupy premises where a landlord is responsible for arranging a gas safety check under regulations made under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974;
  • not have had a gas safety check carried out at the premises in the last 12 months

Your check will be carried out by a person who has appropriate expertise and will include checks on the safety of your gas appliances and any other gas fittings past your gas meter. For each gas appliance this will include an examination of the effectiveness of any flue; the supply of combustion air; its operating pressure or heat input or, where necessary, both; and its operation so as to ensure its safe functioning.
