Kitchen replacement programmes in a social home

How do we deliver it?

Trades are sequenced by a site supervisor so that strip-out, first fix and second fix follow each other without gaps, which is how a kitchen stays within its planned days.

Which rules apply in Highland?

Gas work done for payment must be carried out by a member of the Gas Safe Register (Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998). Landlords must have each gas appliance and flue checked at least every 12 months and give the record to the tenant within 28 days.
