Which gas safety records expire before Christmas? Book the renewals with Hartley Heating and tell me what’s left.

  1. list_certificates4 gas safety records expire before 25 December
  2. create_contractor_jobGas safety renewal × 4, with Hartley Heating
  3. send_contractor_jobJob links sent to the contractor
  4. list_deadlinesChecked the rest of December

Four gas safety records expire before Christmas. I’ve raised a renewal job for each with Hartley Heating and sent them; the visit dates will come back through Abide.Rent.

Still for you: 12 Mill Lane has no record that the tenant was given last year’s certificate.
