Heating Support for Landlords
Landlords in the UK have responsibilities they must comply with in regards to repairs in their privately rented properties. This includes the home’s structure and electrical wiring, as well as gas appliances, pipes, ventilation and flues. Therefore, when it comes to a home’s heating, a landlord must make sure repairs are carried out as soon as possible, especially if it affects whether their property is still fit to live in. To make things easy for you, the Sevex team provide dedicated heating support for landlords and letting agencies.
Why Use Heating Support for Landlords?
Heating systems in households control the distribution of warmth in the home (usually through radiators or similar fixtures) and also the hot water supplies available.
Whether you need urgent repair work, servicing or even an entire system check-up before your new tenants move in, using reliable, professional heating engineers are the best solution for landlords.
Here at Sevex, we also provide annual gas appliance checks to ensure they remain in safe and working order.
Central Heating Repair Services
When a property’s central heating breaks down, it can be a nightmare. From tenants phoning up with no hot water to your properties being cold in the winter, it’s essential to get the issue fixed as soon you can. We offer a comprehensive boiler repair service and work is completed to a high standard, complying with all required safety regulations. All of the engineers we use are Gas Safe Registered (which is a legal requirement for those working with gas appliances), giving you the peace of mind they have the skills and qualifications to get your tenant’s heating back up and running in no time.
Landlord Gas Safety Records
As part of your duties as a landlord, you must ensure the safety of your tenants. Many responsibilities are covered by the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 which states that all gas appliances and fittings are kept in a safe condition. Good practice includes annual maintenance checks as well as demonstrating that repairs are dealt with. Gas safety checks must be carried out in the first 12 months after installation of a new appliance and annually after this time by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. This is a service we can provide for you, issuing you with your gas safety certificate each year (CP12) which you must keep for your records and issue to your tenants too.

All of our landlord support services are bespoke, meaning we’ll listen to your needs and tailor our services to your requirements. From fault finding and diagnostics to high quality repairs, we’ll help you to meet all your responsibilities towards your tenants with regards to your property’s heating and gas appliances.

Some of our other heating services include powerflushing to remove a build-up of sludge and rust from your heating systems, producing a deep cleaning effect.
