We have a tenant that has installed an inset gas fire. She wouldn't allow our servicing engineer to touch the gas fire. She allowed him to perform a spillage test, but in order to satisfy our requirements, he needs to do a flue flow test and ensure the catchment area is clear.
Right now the big bug-bear is that she says a CORGI registered engineer told her that flue flow tests can be done without pulling out the fire. Our contracted RGI says it can't -- something about the pellet getting crushed. Another RGI from another of our gas companies says it can.
Without getting in the logistics of tenant own appliances and who should check what ... can you perform a flue flow test on an inset fire without pulling the fire out? Additionally, can you ensure the catchment area on inset fires are clear without pulling it out?
Any advice the RGIs would be greatly appreciated.
