checked a boiler today at a flat for an old neighbour of mine who is renting the flat out.
it's a ground floor flat with two flats above, glow worm hideaway open flue.
I advised him before looking that the law is changing soon and there might well be an issue with the flue and access to it.
the flue does go into a void that runs up through the other flats with no means of access and no room to realisticly be able to fit inspection hatches, the void is sitting behind the hot water cylinders.
So really I am just checking that I understand the change from January that in the current condition the boiler would have to be classed as AR from the 1/1/2013
So the best advise is to get a new boiler fitted before next year?
Is this how you would all understand it?
