What do we cover in Southampton?
- Survey, layout drawing and resident choice of finishes within your range
- Plumbing, waste and gas connections (gas work by Gas Safe registered engineers, confirmed in writing before appointment)
- Units, worktops, sink, tiling, extract and lighting
- Flooring, making good and decoration
- Resident liaison and temporary cooking facilities where needed
How do we deliver it?
A resident liaison officer visits before the survey, explains the programme and stays in touch until handover. Most complaints on kitchen programmes come from poor communication, not poor workmanship.
Which rules apply in Southampton?
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.
