Compulsory Safety Checks
By law certain safety checks must be completed in your home to ensure it is safe for you and your family.
DIO’s maintenance contractors Amey or VIVO will carry these out. This includes an annual gas safety check. Sometimes there will be safety inspections and an engineer will run a few basic checks. Other times work may be required to ensure your home complies with legal standards and is safe.
Compulsory safety checks are vital, so if you receive an appointment, you must allow DIO’s contractors access to carry out the work/inspection.
