Back boiler in bedroom?

[GrahamM]

This is going on, and on, and on.
It is black and white!
The appliance is leaking gas or spilling combustion fumes into the property.....this is ID! You cap off with permission.
A back boiler in a bedroom that is working perfectly safely while you are present is at the very worst going to be AR. You ask permission to switch off the appliance, get paperwork signed, fully explain the potential dangers, sell them a CO alarm.
Job done!

All I remember from the navy training is the PTIs screaming "THIS POSITION READY" and then making us do some more tortuous exercises. When one finshed for the morning my query of " I bet your missus loves you of an evening, this position ready, and one and two and three" earned me a lot more exercising practice, no sense of humour with PTIs 🙂

Or the way I look at it now, I've been carrying ( cast iron to start with) baths and radiators up 3 flights of stairs for over 30 yrs, so I think its time I described how to do it rather than actually do it, oh and did I mention I started 8 weeks or so holiday last week?

Sorry to add more!
Just thinking about your customer's point of view:

I think AR & ID sound like more or less the same thing when you explain it to the end user (to anyone who is not a gas engineer) - OMG this fire could ill me.

HSE expect Landlords to read their website.
Gas safety - landlords and letting agents
It says:
Can a room containing a gas appliance still be used as a bedroom?

Since 31 October 1998, any room converted to use as sleeping accommodation should not contain the following types of gas appliances:

1. A gas fire, gas space heater or a gas water heater (including a gas boiler) over 14 kilowatts gross input unless it is room sealed.
2. A gas fire, gas space heater, or a gas water heater (including a gas boiler) of 14 kilowatts gross input or less or any instantaneous water heater unless it is room sealed or has an atmosphere-sensing device.

If a room contains one or more of the above appliances and was used as a bedroom prior to 1998 then you will need to do a risk assessment to determine if it can still be used as a bedroom. If you are unsure of the safety of any gas appliance you should get a Gas Safe registered engineer to check it for you.
