Compliance Policy Development – Gas

How to ensure your Gas Policy is compliant

As a specialist property compliance consultant, we regularly review and redevelop compliance policies for social housing providers.  This includes the improvement and development of Gas, Electric, Asbestos, Fire and Legionella policies.

Pennington Choices is unique in the marketplace because we employ technical experts from a gas, electric, asbestos, fire and legionella background, as well as housing practitioners that have managed property compliance at an operational and executive level. We also undertake Compliance Health Checks for a diverse range of social housing providers nationally. The Compliance Health Check identifies any compliance gaps and risks, and includes policy review. As a result, we are well placed to ensure social housing providers achieve policy compliance.
