Many thanks for help, what it says in T&C is: This clause aims to describe in simple language the provisions of Section II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. We accept only the duties given to us by the Act, no more and no less.

I assume you are a tenant? Describing your tenancy agreement?

The main implication is that the LL will not repair "other fixtures, fittings and appliances for making use of the supply of water, gas or electricity)"

eg if the washing machine breaks down, he won't fix it.
