Gas & Oil Servicing
We arrange for the central heating, boiler and gas fires in all of our properties to be serviced every year by Powerminster. This service is very important. Faulty gas appliances can cause illness, serious injury and even death, often from undetected smoke fumes. Even your friends, neighbours and other residents can be at risk.
We will contact you when the service is due and you must allow the fitter into your home to carry out the gas safety check.
Do not obstruct the fresh air vent to any gas appliance.
If you think your boiler is faulty contact your local Yorkshire Coast Homes' office as soon as possible.
If you smell gas, follow these simple steps immediately, they could save your life:
• Turn off the mains gas supply immediately (the on/off lever can be found next to your gas meter)
• Open all windows and doors
• Do not turn on/off any lights or sockets, strike matches, or light cigarettes
• Ring Transco, the gas emergency service, on 0800 111 999 (freephone)
• Then ring our Call Centre on 0845 065 56 56
Please note, gas appliances that you have installed (such as cookers) are your own responsibility. They must be installed by engineers registered with Gas-Safe - installing one yourself, even a gas cooker is an offence.
