  • Responsive repairs and breakdown maintenance, including emergency and urgent call out services
  • Installation, replacement, and upgrade of domestic heating systems, including boilers and associated components
  • Compliance servicing and maintenance of communal and district heating plant, where applicable
  • Testing, servicing, and replacement of ancillary safety devices, including carbon monoxide detectors
  • Inspection and maintenance of flue systems, ventilation, and associated safety-critical components
  • Data management, compliance reporting, and certification, including integration with the Council’s asset management and compliance systems

The Council places significant importance on:

Resident safety and full statutory compliance, including adherence to applicable legislation, regulatory standards, and industry best practice

High-quality service delivery and right-first-time outcomes, supported by robust quality assurance and performance management arrangements

Effective resident engagement, including access management and appropriate support for vulnerable residents

Workforce competence and training, including Gas Safe registration and ongoing professional development
