Hello everyone, I was sign posted to this site by users in moneysavingexpert.com
Long story, I'm a long term council tenant who complies with the yearly gas safety checks. So this morning the gas safety engineer comes, tinkers away in the kitchen, then calls me over to say that he is unable to complete the safety check as he believes the flue from the boiler, which is wrapped in duct tape is unsafe & dangerous. That he will have to switch of the gas. My reply was, it's been like this since it was repaired in November 2012, and how come it was not picked up by the other safety engineers over the last 3/4 years. He said he didn't know, and can only answer for himself.
What I want to know is, how safe or unsafe is it, bearing in mind I have been living like this since November 2012, then with a 6 month old baby, plus 2 other children.
I will be calling the council on Monday, but I don't want them to be saying it's nothing. If it is seriously dangerous, then surely someone needs to pay the consequences.
