Every Curo tenant gets a comprehensive home safety check each year. It's a free, no-fuss, single visit that checks your home is safe. Here are 7 great reasons to keep your home safety check appointment when we get in touch:
- These checks keep you and your family safe - what could be more important than that?
- Every year there are around 60 deaths from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in England and Wales. We check that your gas appliances aren't producing this silent, invisible killer.
- Faulty electrical appliances, wiring and overloaded sockets cause around 7,000 fires in the home - our electrical test will look for any hidden dangers in your wiring.
- A Curo home safety check covers much more than most landlords' routine safety inspections.
- We’ll also check your smoke alarms for you at the same time, and carry out your five-year electrical test if it’s due – all in one visit.
- We'll do all we can to make your appointment simple and convenient for you. We can even arrange to carry out any repairs you’ve booked while we’re in your home.
- And finally, you'll be doing your neighbours a favour - every missed appointment means someone else’s check is delayed.
So when we contact you with details of your annual home safety check, please keep your agreed appointment.
Why wouldn't you?
