Boiler next to cooker, is this safe

[jadekitty]

I have googled and i do not understand the regulations.
Please just tell me yes or no if its ok because i do not understand the wording.

my cooker is 7 inchs next to the boiler.
The above distance is 17inchs
It is a gas cooker
the boiler has leaked before and its fairly new, ontop where the 'soil' pipe is it is covered in thick oil and dust which wont come off

I live in a council property and just moved in. Is this safe?

ALSO
I have directly 2cm in front of the sink wires which connect to a plug supply and washing machine plug which has plastic trunking around it with sealant, because it is so near to the sink the sealant is always rotting off and i am having to re seal.

Council employees have said this is ok because of the trunking but how can it be if the sealant is off every month or so?
it gets wet everyday

Please help and if you can resite the regulations i need to use to write to them

If you live in a council property ask to see a copy of the current gas safety certificate. If you are not happy call gas safe and involve them. Pointless asking for interpretations on the internet.

A picture is worth a thousand word's.

Send picture so we can see exactly what you're taking about.

double standards for Councils, if it was a private let, they would be onto landlord like a ton of bricks.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the boiler location v the cooker.

Where's the cable you mentioned in your first post?

Might be worth having a look at the situation before jumping to conclusions!

Excuse my washing up!

So if you see in the photo the white trunking under the tiles, this is what gets wet everyday for obvious reasons i am having to always re seal

Is that just a piece of plastic on top of the cable?


Trunking - is a three-side box with a very tight fitting cover/lid.

This won't solve the sealant issue but the cable would be alright.

They wouldn't let me put my boiler on top of the cooker though! (joking)
I said before i was able to see any pictures!
