Gas safety in Reading: worth knowing

At the 2021 Census, 31.9% of households in Reading Borough rented privately, up from 26.1% in 2011, and 50.4% owned their home. Every rented home with gas appliances supplied by the landlord needs a gas safety check every 12 months, so demand for landlord certificates is steady.

Tenants should get a copy of the gas safety record within 28 days of each check. If you haven't, ask your landlord.
