Safety in your home for tenants
As well as providing you with smoke alarms, if you have an assured, secure or fixed term tenancy we check and service your gas, oil and solid fuel appliances (and the pipework) in your annual gas safety check. We also carry out regular inspections of electrical systems.
In our blocks of flats and shared buildings, we make sure that fire risk assessments (FRAs) are up-to-date, there are appropriate smoke detectors and fire alarms, fire doors and other fire safety measures. We also regularly review any fire risks and the procedures for preventing and reporting fires.
You can find out more about fire safety (including extra information on safety in our taller buildings) and other key safety topics using the links below.
