Who's Affected by Flues In Voids

Action is required as changes came into effect at the end of 2012 where flues (from room sealed fan assisted gas boilers) located inside a void must be fitted with inspection hatches for your gas engineer to be able to inspect the flue and pass as safe.

As this deadline has passed, registered heating engineers will be forced to place boilers ‘At Risk’. If you have not acted on this it may leave you or your tenants with no heating or hot water!

If you are an organisation, you may wish to distribute this to your clients. If so, please let us know and we can arrange for them to be delivered to you.

A Tenant

If you are a tenant then don’t ignore this problem let your landlord know about this issue as soon as possible.

Your boiler flue could be hiding a dangerous or maybe even life threatening problem so don’t delay.

A Landlord

Landlords have a legal obligation to get yearly gas safety checks carried out and Gas Safety certificates issued. We can provide these as part of our service.

In order to obtain the certificate, where the flue is within a void, it will be necessary to fit access panels in order that a “Gas Safe” registered engineer can inspect the flue.

An Estate Agent

As an estate agent you can be proactive and arrange for this work to be carried out avoiding any potential issues it may cause during the sale.

Call us now to discuss the new regulations further and how we can help you overcome this issue.

A Letting Agent

Why not let us take the pressure off you and let us help to inform your landlords of this issue.

You probably manage several properties that require inspection hatches to be fitted to conform with the regulations and allow your landlords to get their yearly gas safety certificate.

Also, if you manage several properties in one apartment block we can provide a more cost effective solution to do the works required to bring those properties in line with the current regulations.

A Homeowner

Although, as a property owner, you are not required to get a gas safety certificate as required by a landlord, as soon as you need your boiler serviced or repaired, a registered Gas-Safe engineer will still have to ascertain the safety of your boiler.

We can also provide this as part of our service.
