Our electrical servicing partner will inspect:
• Emergency communal lighting is serviced every month by our in-house electrical division.
• External communal lighting is serviced every quarter by our in-house electrical division.
• If you see any lights flickering or not working as they should be then please call the repairs team and we will get our electrical team out to attend and repair.
• Communal door entry systems as well as access control systems are serviced every quarter by our in-house electrical division.
• If the communal doors are not locking correctly then please contact the repairs team and they will send a GCH electrician out to repair. (please note communal doors should not be wedged open as this compromises the security of the building).
• Communal electric wiring and supplies are tested and inspected every 5 years as recommended by BS 7671 electrical wiring regulations.
• Communal portable electrical appliances, in our Sheltered Housing Schemes, are serviced every 12 months, e.g. kettles in communal kitchens.
• Communal lifts – if your block has a communal lift than they are inspected each month and a thorough inspection carried out every 6 months.
