All CORGI registered gas contractors generally receive interim inspections every third year for CORGI registration; but with the certification accreditation additional inspection visits are required.
These are typically once or twice a year.
In this latest inspection, nothing was found that even warranted an observation.
Thorpete, part of the TREES group, were congratulated by the CORGI panel for this exceptional achievement.
Beverley Thorp, Business Manager of Thorpete, said: "The CORGI certification mark - and our successful interim inspections - truly demonstrates the professionalism of our hard-working staff and our commitment to deliver an impeccable level of service to our clients." The company, based in Ashby Road, Coalville, Leicestershire, is run as a social enterprise - that is, a business with a social purpose, where profits are reinvested in the business or in the community and training opportunities are also made available.
Thorpete was set up in 1995 by redundant employees from British Gas, as a gas maintenance repair service for Registered Social Landlord owned properties.
Government legislation requires all landlords to have yearly inspections and tests on gas appliances installed in their properties to ensure that they remain safe to use.
The business now works with housing associations, local authorities, property managers and private sector landlords across the east midlands.
Thorpete has recently completed its first year working with North West Leicestershire District Council.
Council officers praised Thorpete for its exceptional performance in helping the authority reach 100 per cent of its targets.
Thorpete currently delivers a service to 15 social landlords and 11,300 homes in the East Midlands.
