Boilers & electrics
Boiler and Electrical Faults in Social and Rented Housing
Faulty heating, hot water issues, or unsafe wiring can severely impact your comfort, safety, and health — especially in the colder months. Sadly, many tenants in social and rented housing are left to deal with ongoing boiler breakdowns or dangerous electrical setups due to landlord negligence.
Landlords have a legal duty to maintain heating systems and ensure electrical safety in rented properties. If your boiler is not working properly or you’re experiencing electrical faults, and your landlord has failed to act, you may be eligible for a housing disrepair claim.
Why Faulty Boilers and Electrics Are a Serious Concern
While spray foam may seem like a modern solution, it can cause significant problems if not managed correctly. When installed without proper ventilation or moisture barriers, spray foam can seal the property too tightly, allowing condensation to build up inside. This often results in mould growth, wood rot, and even deterioration of roof structures.
If your property suffers from broken heating, your LANDLORD must ensure your boiler and radiators are repaired, including shared boilers.
