It was British Gas and they gave me a Safety Warning with the "At Risk" section filled in.

Just had the gas engineers round and he said the flues were (shockingly) not properly installed. There's water collecting in the flues as they were installed flat rather than at an angle. He also said that the inspection hatches are indeed inadequate to properly inspect the entire length of the...

thanks, I've emailed them with the link. Just waiting to hear back.

just heard back from the builders and they say that because the legislation wasn't in place when they built it its our responsibility. was the legisilation in place when I bought the property (we completed on 16/04/2010)?

Also, are they required to fit carbon monoxide alarms or is that my responsibility?

That's great. I've emailed the builders and hopefully they'll sort it out. I was confused because we were sent a letter by the management agency about this saying because the building is over 2 years old it is our responsibility.

Thanks for all the info!! I'm not really worried about it being a fire risk to be honest, just wondered if it was a requirement for the builders to fix. I'll look into getting some sort of under door seal/weatherbar/cuddly snake for it as the whistling noise when we open the windows and the...

Hi everyone, we've got a 1cm or so gap under our front door probably due to shrinkage. the flat is a new build with the front door leading into the communal corridor. The warranty from the builders is due to run out in 4 months so I'm keen to get issues resolved. Is this something they...
