No access on gas safety checks

[Scott_D]

Do you charge if the tenant isn't in it doesnt answer the door on a landlord gas safety check?
I don't do many of them but just wasted 30 minutes ringing the door bell and calling the landlord.
No answer!!

 

[ShaunCorbs]

[townfanjon]

I don't turn up to ANY job unless someone at the property actually answers the phone. Has saved me more money than customers I've lost.

No I don' t charge for it cost of running a business. No different than restaurants having table booked and they don' turn up.

However once you get access do your cert but inform them need new vessel get your money back lol

This time of year they might be in the garden so not hear the phone and have left a note on the front door "Come through the side gate" etc.
I get a lot of this but the company say`s we still have to attend and leave paperwork to show we attended then the visit is chargeable.

Why not now, why wait a year?

I arrange the visit with a 2 hour window. If no answer at door & phone call, I take a picture of the front door to prove that I attended within the 2 hour window and then charge the Landlord, Agent or homeowner a £30 unable to gain entry fee.
