Futures Homescape must, by law, use only GAS SAFE registered contractors to fit and maintain gas installations. All appliances must be checked at least once a year. If Futures Homescape-owned gas appliances in your home have not been checked during the last 12 months, you should contact us immediately.

Gas Safety Regulations state that you must not use appliances which are considered dangerous or allow anyone else to use them. If you have a gas appliance, make sure that it is fitted by a GAS SAFE registered installer and arrange for it to be serviced at least once a year. If your home is fitted with gas central heating, Futures Homescape will arrange for this to be serviced.

To work efficiently and safely, gas appliances need fresh air. Ventilators should be kept free from blockages to avoid the build-up of dangerous fumes.
