Heating Contracts for Social Housing

13 December 2023

In the ever-evolving landscape of social housing, adaptability and reliability are paramount. Shropshire Gas understands this dynamic and is dedicated to meeting the unique needs of the housing market. To achieve this, we offer three distinct contract options, allowing our clients to select the one that aligns most effectively with their partnership structure and objectives.

The Three Tiers of Partnership

At Shropshire Gas, we believe in flexibility, and our contracts reflect that belief. Whether you're a housing association or a property management company, our contract options cater to your specific requirements. Let's explore these three contract tiers:

1-STAR CONTRACT: The Foundation

Our 1-star contract serves as the bedrock of our offerings. It provides the essential services that every client can rely on. With this contract, you'll receive:

  • An annual service and safety check, ensuring that your properties are in compliance with regulations and safe for residents.
  • Comprehensive repairs, maintenance, and replacements as needed.

Work under this contract is billed on a labour and materials basis or through a pre-determined schedule of rates. It's the ideal choice for clients seeking a straightforward, cost-effective solution that covers essential maintenance and repairs.

3-STAR CONTRACT: Balancing Cost and Coverage

Our 3-star contract occupies the middle ground, offering a balanced approach to cost and comprehensiveness. This contract encompasses:

  • An annual service and safety check, upholding regulatory compliance and resident safety.
  • Repairs, maintenance, and the replacement of most components, ensuring the efficient functioning of your properties.

Unlike the 1-star contract, the 3-star package involves a one-off annual cost, making it a convenient choice for clients looking to streamline their budgeting processes.

Plumbing and Electrical Cover: Extending the 3-Star Contract

For those seeking additional coverage, Shropshire Gas provides an option to enhance the 3-star contract further. By paying an extra £5 per month, per service, clients can include plumbing and electrical works in their contract. This extension ensures that your properties are well-equipped to handle plumbing and electrical issues promptly and professionally.

At Shropshire Gas, we understand that one size does not fit all in the social housing sector. That's why we offer these three distinct contract options, allowing our clients to customise their partnership arrangement based on their specific needs and preferences. We are committed to providing reliable, cost-effective, and comprehensive solutions, ensuring that your properties remain safe, compliant, and efficient.
