just thinking of extra safety in the house, I can however smell gas before most people proberly don't need it. When I get the boiler seviced I also get gas tightness test.

IIRC, there are about 40 injuries due to domestic gas explosions per year in the UK. On the other hand, there are more than 30,000 house fires per year.

I'd spend the money on smoke/fire alarms and fire extinguishers, etc. rather than gas (methane) detectors.

Having a fire blanket in the kitchen is a good idea if you don't already have one.
