Health & Safety: Electrical Safety
Connexus have moved to a programme of testing the fixed electrical parts of a property every 5 years. This is to ensure that the electrical installation within your home is safe. We really ask you when you receive a letter informing you that your electrical check is due, that you make an appointment with us as soon as possible. We will work with you and have a number of appointments available.

Health & Safety: Asbestos Safety
Products containing asbestos were used in the building industry for many years until over fifteen years ago when the manufacture of such products was banned. Asbestos products do not pose a health risk as long as they are left undamaged and are protected through a paint sealant or cannot easily be disturbed.
