Dear ladies and gentlemen,
I am a tenant in rented house. The landlord has not had a safety check 2 years and the last one was by his friend who it seems was corgi registered then.
However in 2007 it failed a gas tightness test..can you tell me what that means?
in 2009 i called transco as i could smell something like rotten eggs all oveer the house ..the man came out an looked at the boiler and the sooting and shut off the gas first he made me turn on the heating an smell the gas outside and asked me if the smell was like that..i said yes..it changed smell after the heating went on...what does that mean?
anyway the landlord called his plumber and even though i told him we had no certificates for over 2 yrs and it was never serviced he didn't say much until i left the house with my son to take him to the hospital ..then it seems the plumber did some sort of smoke test and gave the landlord an unsafe certificate and a report.. now when i came back to the house the plumbers would not tell me what was wrong with the boiler and told me there was no paperwork.. and they all stood around laughing at me even though i was in bits after the doctors for carbon monoxide ..
i think it was a case of getting a job from the landlord and they would keep quiet.. anyway i got my own person to look at it who said the seals had been leaking and the flu as well...
ok another question..the black soot around the boiler i was told could be dust.. is this true..it is black ..not powder..and it smudges when you try to wipe it off.
sorry another question when you change a pcb...would the lights change from blue to orange..
and should any of the plastic narrow pipes [black ones] be taped up and hanging loose..
should the metal flu thing coming from the top of the boiler the hole in the wall is stuffed with paper around the flu pipe..
sorry lots of questions it's just my little boy before the boiler was shut off was stopping breathing in his sleep and i would lie at night nudging him..
thanks if you have time to answer me
