Combi boiler & extractor fan in zone 1

[Skyblue]

Ok. A landlord, so this is rented accommodation.

It certainly doesn’t sound within anyone’s regulations, and as you say, the danger of cracking your head when you get out the bath is enough to say it’s not safe.

Citizens advice could help with this, or your local council who the landlord should be registered with

Thanks, I'll try contacting both. Would I need to provide anything?

I take it this place has some positives, otherwise you wouldn't of rented it?

You get what you can get in London!

Of course, it's a nice location, good light/ views. Just need to find the right man to perfect it

Just make sure he's a plumber/gas fitter

The location of the boiler is epic for a bath top up of hot, no diverting the cold until the good stuff comes through - little bit envious I am!

Be my guest if you want to try it out.
That's a good way to test the safety, I like your style

I take it could not go in the loft?

No, it's just a flat. If I had a loft or basement, they probably would've done what PEG said.

How good is your relationship with the landlord? Private or housing association?
Wouldn’t want you to get kicked out for bringing safety issues to their attention?

Is there any other safety issues, or things that aren’t quite right?
If I’m right in saying, every habitable room needs to have heating and there must be running hot water and a facility for cooking.
(Not so much supply you with a cooker, but an electric point for a cooker or a gas pipe for one)

Yes I know it’s a boiler, but doesn’t mean to say there’s enough radiators.

Mains powered interconnected smoke detectors?
Extract fans in bathroom and kitchen?

Not sure of the legislation where you live.

Even if you say the electrical connections are IP44 and it meets gas regs, what bad design poor thought.

I'm in London. It's housing association.

They didn't fit an extractor in the kitchen, the one in the bathroom is broken. The fire door takes a good slam to close and the fire seal was painted over. I have smoke alarms but no carbon monoxide detector next to the gas supply
