    Gas cookers with no openable window/door direct to outside?

    Obviously the regs state that if you have a flueless appliance, you must have a window/door in the same room which opens direct to outside. But as you see with many new builds, people just build these lovely conservatories over the kitchen window/door so instantly at risk. You can have an...
