New Gas Safe Regulation 2013 for Flues in Voids

Our engineers need to be able to see the flue as part of essential safety checks. A flue in poor condition combined with a boiler that isn't working properly could put you & your family in danger from carbon monoxide poisoning which can cause death or serious injury. You will need to take action! The inspection hatches have to be fitted as soonest as possible.

Boiler Flues in Ceiling Spaces - Important advice for consumers who have flues which run in ceiling spaces

Some properties, mainly flats and apartments, have been built with boiler flues which cannot be inspected because they are hidden behind walls or ceilings. The boiler flues that this information relates to are connected to room-sealed fan assisted boilers. If you live in one of these homes then please read on for more information so you know what to do.

If your boiler is situated on an outside wall, it is unlikely you have this type of flue. Alternatively, if your engineer can see all of the flue, you will not need to take any further action in relation to this matter.

If you do have a boiler where all, or part of, the flue cannot be seen, you, or your landlord, will need to arrange for inspection hatches to be fitted. This does not mean that your flue system is suddenly unsafe.

Carbon monoxide alarms are not an alternative to being able to see the flue and you will still need to have inspection hatches fitted. It is recommended that inspection hatches are fitted as soon as you are able to do so. From 1 January 2013, any Gas Safe registered engineer will turn the boiler off, with your permission and formally advise you not to use it until inspection hatches have been fitted in appropriate places.

Although most of the affected boiler and flue systems are relatively new (installed since 2000), the risk of faults leading to the release of carbon monoxide increases as the system gets older, especially if it is not serviced regularly. It is important that you have your gas appliances service yearly.

You will need to take action now!

If your property is less than two years old then contact your builder. If your property is between two and ten years old contact your home warranty provider, as you may be covered by them if there are defects in the flue. A list of the main home warranty providers is shown below. If your property is 10 years or older you should contact a gas safe registered engineer like us. 

We recommend you to have your flue & all gas appliances safety checked alongside yearly service for your own safety

What our gas safe registered engineers can do :

- We can provide you with landlords gas safety certificates

- Gas Safe registered engineer can service your boiler yearly

- We can fit Carbon Monoxide detectors where necessary

- We can also provide panels with an acoustic rating to 28db

- We can also fit larger access panels, these may allow an engineer to actually carry out repairs rather than the standard size which allow inspection only

A Gas safety Certificate is a record, also referred to as a certificate, that is required by law to be held for all rental accommodation in the UK where there are gas appliances present. The requirement is enshrined in the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. The law requires all gas appliances in a rented property to be checked annually, with a gas safety record being completed and a copy provided to tenants.

Gas safety records must  completed by engineers who must be registered with the Gas Safe Register scheme which took over form the previous CORGI scheme in 2009. We have reliable gas safe (ex corgi) registered engineers who can assist you on this whenever you need this done we are always here for you 24 hours a day 7 days a week and we cover all areas of Central London (City London), East Central & West Central London, City of London and  Westminster, West End London (West), Northwest London, East London, North London, Enfield, Southwest London, Southeast London, Enfield, Bromley & Kent, Croydon, Richmond & Twickenham, Uxbridge, Essex, Uxbridge, Dartford, St.Albans and all surrounding areas
