If you will be hosting students this year, your student organisation will likely tell you about about the legal requirement for you to have a valid Gas Safety Certificate BEFORE your student arrives.
But they are unlikely to tell you about the legal requirement for you to also have a Legionnaires Disease Risk Assessment that is unique to your property!
Just because your student host company hasn't told you to have a Legionnaires Disease Risk Assessment in place before your student arrives, doesn't mean you don't need one, as we will proove below!
Below are four facts, (with links to the Health & Safety Website to allow you to verify them yourself), that you need to be aware of BEFORE you host students in your home.
When you host a student in your home, in the eyes of the law you become a landlord, meaning you take on all the legal roles of a landlord.
As a landlord you have a legal obligation to have a Landlords Gas Safety Inspection carried out every 12 months.
You also have a legal obligation to have a Legionnaires Disease Risk Assessment for your property, which should be updated as and when there are any changes to the Plumbing Installation in the property. (This is to ensure the new work has not created an environment that may provide favourable conditions for legionella bacteria thrive.)
Whilst you MUST use a Gas Safe Registered Company for your Landlords Gas Safety Certificate, . . . you can do your own Legionnaires Disease Risk Assessment IF you are competent to do so? (Watch the AI video above for more information on identifying redundant pipework in your property.)
Alternatively, we can do both of these things for you.
If you would like our assistance, we will not be the cheapest company in town because we insist on working to a high standard that fully complies with all safety regualtions to ensure you and your loved ones remain safe in your home and we refuse to cut corners simply to be able to offer a cheaper service.
However, as we all know, there is a ongoing cost of living situation in this country and for a limited time only (With the aid of a third party company), we are able to offer a limited number of clients the opportunity to spread the cost of their services, in to three smaller payments over the coming months.
This offer is subject to status, which will be determined by the third party company.

. . . (To some of you, that last paragraph may have sounded a little strange, but you'd be amazed how many people will argue about the price of a service that has the potential to save the lives of EVERYONE in their home, but happily pay hundreds of pounds every month just to drive a specific type of car instead of a cheaper one. Others are happy to spend as much, if not more, on Hair & Beauty treatments, or on a night out with friends, because those things are more important to them! Depending on what's more important to you, will determine if we are the best company for you? . . . it's possible we might not be?)
