Our checks keep you safe

We’ve a legal responsibility to carry out certain checks to ensure the home or building you live in remains safe.

We’re sorry we’re unable to always give notice of every visit. Our contractors may visit if they’re in the area and we know a check is needed.

Our contractors will always have ID, but if you’re ever in doubt about a visitor, please contact us.
We kindly ask you to keep to any agreed appointment or let us know in advance if you’d like to rearrange.

There are a huge number of checks we carry out to our buildings, including:
