Gas Safety Week 2025: 8–14 September — Keeping What Matters Safe with Neater Heat
From 8th to 14th September 2025, homes and businesses across the UK will take part in Gas Safety Week, an annual campaign led by the Gas Safe Register. This year’s theme, “Looking After Your Home, Friends, and Family”, highlights the importance of protecting our loved ones, our communities, and our properties from the hidden dangers of unsafe gas use.
At Neater Heat, we are proud to support Gas Safety Week 2025. As specialists in heating and boiler services, we see firsthand how essential safe gas practices are. Whether it’s carrying out an annual boiler service, installing carbon monoxide alarms, or educating our customers about warning signs, our mission is simple: to keep what matters most safe.
Why Gas Safety Week Matters
Gas appliances bring comfort and warmth into our lives, but when they are poorly installed, left unchecked, or not maintained regularly, they can pose serious risks. Issues such as gas leaks, fires, explosions, and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning can have devastating consequences.
Carbon monoxide is particularly dangerous because it’s invisible, odourless, and tasteless. Every year, preventable incidents highlight the importance of awareness and maintenance. Gas Safety Week gives everyone — homeowners, landlords, tenants, and businesses — the chance to stop, reflect, and take proactive action.
At Neater Heat, we know that prevention is always better than a cure. That’s why we encourage all our customers to treat Gas Safety Week as a reminder to book in their annual boiler service and review their home safety measures.
This Year’s Theme: Looking After Your Home, Friends, and Family
The 2025 campaign focuses on shared responsibility. Gas safety isn’t just a personal concern — it’s about protecting the people around us too. Whether you own your home, rent it, manage properties, or run a business, you play a role in keeping others safe.
Neater Heat supports this community-first approach. Our engineers often work with landlords and homeowners side by side, ensuring properties meet legal safety standards and that families have peace of mind.

For Landlords
- Arrange annual safety checks on every gas appliance, flue, and pipework — it’s the law.
