Hi all,
We are moving house and are taking part in a part-ex deal with the builders of our new home. As part of the deal we were required to get gas appliances safety checked.
We got a guy who had just installed a gas fire for us (very well i may add) to do the checks. He has stated it is "at risk" as it is too close to the kitchen sink without being boxed in. The appliance wasn't turned off but he told my wife that the regulations changed a few years ago.
Where do I stand with it now with the house going on the market ? Am I obliged to box it in and if I don't would I suffer any recourse ?
Am I entitled to something from British Gas who have had the boiler on a service plan for 5 years and haven't said a thing about it ?
Many thanks in advance
Richard
