With the Scottish government lifting Covid restrictions as of Midnight on the 18/4/22, we wanted to update our customers to what we have decided to do here at Celsius.
We understand many of our customers will be feeling anxious about the lifting of restrictions, that’s why we have decided to work on a job by job basis.
Our Engineers will ask before entering the property if you would prefer them to wear face coverings and if so, will continue to follow our Covid-19 pre works health and safety check list before entering your home.
For more information – please read below or reach out to a member of our team for more information.

The following guidelines have also been implemented with immediate effect.
Keeping a minimum of 2m apart from people in the property
Wearing protective shoe covers
Wearing disposable gloves
Washing hands frequently.
Wiping down all surfaces with disinfectant.
If any of our team show any signs of COVID-19 symptoms they will be asked to self-isolate.
We monitor government guidelines to assess levels of risk and will continue to do so as we attempt to prioritise the health and safety of our customers and engineers above all else. We will take appropriate action as and when it is suitable to do so.

Watch our company director Michael explain what this means for landlords and tenants –
In short, yes. The only reason a gas check would not be completed would be if tenants are refusing access to the property due to Covid-19. In this instance you would have to keep records of attempts you have made to reasonably gain access to the property. If a serious incident was to occur, and your gas appliance or flue system did not have a valid gas safety certificate, you may be asked to provide evidence of your attempts. Landlords are responsible for their properties and have a duty of care to their tenants. This means that Registered Gas Engineers are not responsible for Landlords Gas Safety Checks being in place or up to date.
