Gas safety routing
Any mention of a possible gas smell gets the National Gas emergency number immediately and the call ends there - it is never turned into a booking.
The boiler dies on the coldest night of the year and the caller's already rung two other numbers. A landlord's CP12 is due before a new tenant moves in on Monday. And every so often, someone mentions a smell near the boiler - the one call that must never be treated like the other two.
Most calls are a callout, a service or a certificate visit rather than a fixed slot - here's what the receptionist is set up to arrange.
Any mention of a possible gas smell gets the National Gas emergency number immediately and the call ends there - it is never turned into a booking.
A total loss of heating in cold weather, especially with children or someone elderly in the house, gets flagged for priority rather than queued normally.
A landlord's CP12 due date gets recorded and booked in ahead of a tenancy start rather than missed in a voicemail.
Customers due their yearly service can be reminded and rebooked without the office having to chase a spreadsheet.
The receptionist never gives advice on a suspected gas escape and never books it as a job. If a caller mentions smelling gas, it gives the National Gas emergency number straight away, tells them to leave the property and avoid switches or naked flames, and ends the call there.
The receptionist does not attempt to diagnose or book anything. It gives the National Gas emergency number (0800 111 999) immediately, tells the caller to leave the property and avoid using any switches or naked flames, and ends the call there. That situation is never treated as a normal callout.
Yes - routine services and landlord's gas safety certificates are exactly the kind of recurring visit it's set up to book and remind customers about.
No. It asks what's happening - total loss or partial, boiler make and age, whether anyone vulnerable is affected - and passes that straight to the engineer. Diagnosis stays with a Gas Safe registered engineer, always.
