Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if this the correct forum or not but since my main concern is gas safety then I've decided to put it here.
Here's my situation - getting a new fireplace fitted so decided to have the chimney swept beforehand. At the same time I decided to have another chimney swept at the same time since lots of debris have fallen onto the gas fire in the year since fitted.
The sweep tells me that the existing fire surround is incorrectly fitted since soot and debris was falling out of the joints as he swept. This not only made his life incredibly difficult but also poses the question of is the fire safe?
Clearly any fumes from the fire could find their way back into the room through the unsealed sections of the cast/surround which cannot be good!
It was fitted by installers and the gas fire installed by Corgi fitter.
My question is who should be responsible here? The installers or the Corgi gas fitter? Should those leaks have been picked up in the gas checks or not?
Any help or advice on the direction i should send complaints would be appreciated!
Chris
