Loreburn has become the first Scottish housing association to begin implementing the revolutionary compliance technology, Gas Tag. 

The partnership will see Loreburn introduce the product into 1,188 homes across its communities in Dumfries and Galloway to support its management of gas compliance and ensure residents are safe. 

Gas Tag is a first of its kind technology that has been designed to support housing providers with their gas compliance process and provide real-time insight into the work being carried out in their properties. 

Loreburn decided to partner with Gas Tag after an independent audit carried out on its gas policy and procedures recommend the introduction of an electronic system to monitor its gas compliance status. 

Nadine Paterson, Assistant Manager for Compliance and Projects at Loreburn, said: “As an organisation we strive to provide a GREAT service to our residents and this includes embracing modern technologies. 

“Gas Tag will enable us to view all work being carried out in real-time and ensure that we are providing the best possible service for our customers and stakeholders. This was just one of the many reasons it was viewed as the perfect solution for us.

“We were also impressed by Gas Tag’s continued development of new innovative compliance technology and we are now exploring the option to trial its Fire Door product.”

Matt Stephenson, Business Development Manager at Gas Tag, said: “We are delighted to partner with Loreburn Housing Association, who is our first Scottish client. 

“We are committed to supporting the housing sector through our technology and growing partnerships with forward-thinking providers such as Loreburn.”

All landlords across the UK are legally required to carry out annual gas safety checks but the current model is is paper-based and time-consuming.  Gas Tag technology moves this system into the digital age, offering complete transparency to both Loreburn Housing association and its contractor.
