CUT OUT HIDDEN AGENT FEESWe work for landlords, providing landlord gas safety certificates and a high priority repair service. Our aim is to reduce the costs to the Landlord by
offering honest and upfront pricing. No hidden charges! . Many agents charge the landlord for receiving breakdown calls from tenants and passing this information to their preferred gas company, they may also add a fee on top of the gas company's bill !! These additions are on top of your management fees! We can reduce your Gas Maintenance bills by removing these and similar agent fees. We deal direct with Landlords not agents. |

Landlord Legal RequirementsIt is a Legal requirement for landlords to have all the gas
appliances in a rented property safety-tested every 12 months by a Gas Safe™ registered engineer. At ST Gas Services we can provide you with your certificate (CP12) annually to make sure that you fulfill your legal obligations. Failure to produce a valid Gas safety certificate (CP12) can result in prosecution, and can also invalidate your property insurance, which in turn means you can be liable for potential civil claims. The landlord is responsible for this aspect of their tenant's safety, and if non-compliance were to lead to a death from carbon monoxide poisoning, the landlord could be charged with manslaughter. |

Urgent Information for Landlords
Flues in voids
Some properties, mainly flats and apartments, have been built with boiler flues which cannot be inspected because they are hidden behind walls or ceilings. This information relates to boiler flues that are connected to room-sealed fan assisted boilers.
If you rent one of these homes then please read on for more information so you know what to do.
Carbon monoxide alarms are not an alternative to being able to see the flue and you will still need to have inspection hatches fitted. You have until 31 December 2012 for this work to be completed. It is recommended that inspection hatches are fitted as soon as you are able to do so.
From 1 January 2013, any Gas Safe registered engineer will turn the boiler off, with your permission and formally advise you not to use it until
inspection hatches have been fitted in appropriate places.
