We had a new boiler installed about six years ago in what we call our "loft". We call it a loft because it's under the eaves, only has a chipboard floor and is where we put our Xmas decorations and whatnot. Unlike a normal loft, it's access through a door, from a bedroom, so there's no hatch or ladder.
Anyway, for two years in a row, British Gas have serviced the boiler, and both times have written on their reports that the boiler installation is a risk because it's installed in a loft.
I've searched around, on this forum and elsewhere, and the only regulations about boilers in lofts seem to be around ensuring the safety of access and installation. So we'd need lighting and flooring (which we have), and there to a rail around any access hatch (which there isn't).
So, are there any gas experts there who know what this risk is? I'm going to try to ask British Gas the same thing, but expect to be told some generic BS about "regulations".
Thanks in advance.
