Our plumber is a registered with “Gas Safe” which means he is safe when doing things with gas appliances. One sometimes wonders whether this involves more than paying a fee to get a sticker on your van and little else. Well, nine days ago our plumber came, by arrangment, with a Gas Safe Inspector and they went all over our gas supply and the central heating boiler. The Inspector made one or two Observations and announced that the boiler flue was too near the existing brick chimney. It was 300mm away whereas it should be at least 500 mm. So, today we have the plumber here moving the flue !
