If your home has gas central heating, this must, by law, have an annual safety check. As well as making sure that there is no risk of carbon monoxide leaks, the boiler will also be checked to make sure that it is in good working order. Our engineers will also check your smoke alarms at the same time.

It's a good idea to make a fire escape plan so that everyone in your home knows how to get out in an emergency. You may also wish to choose a 'safe room' with a window where you can wait to be rescued and from where you can call the fire service.
The fire service offers a free fire safety check and advice. To book your free check call 0800 169 1234.
If you live in a block of apartments you will be given an evacuation plan which you should follow if the alarms are sounded. Do not use the lift or you could be trapped.
