Hi, Father in Law is having a new gas pipe installed into house by supplier/transco. This morning prior to the visit for the works tomorrow a fitter has put his BB at risk due to inadequete ventallation. House in a 1930 terraced house no cavity walled with separate kitchen with Gas hob and cooker (1 unit). The boiler is in the rear room with standard doors leading to kitchen and hallway. The room has a vent in the floor non screened which is directly opposite a clay air vent to the rear of the property (within 30cm) but not ducted. There is also another clay air vent within 100cm at the rear of the property. To the front of the property is another 2 air vents these will be around 6M away. Floor is suspended timber construction.
Guy who put it AR said vents needed to be ducted and has offered no other advice.
Is this the case when non cavity wall. Then as well the clay vent on its own probably does not meet the minimum requirement if it was ducted to the internal floor mounted vent so will need changing to plastic. And even then may not be large enough or is the duct a red herring?
