Discuss Safety Check on a Coalbrookdale fire? in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Would do a smoke test?
Was it a LGSC?Would do a smoke test?
Surely this doesnt fall under a “landlords cert “ .
stress the importance of a CO detector though ( no legal requirement )
Has anyone recently done a LGSC at a house with a Coalbrookdale fire in it?
What did you test? I know its not a gas appliance but it still burns solid fuel and produces CO2. Any insight would be good. Thanks.
You still have to check if there is a CO alarm irrelevant of being HETAS and if it is an open fireplace you still have to check the chimney and do a flue flow just incase they decide to start burning stuff in the opening.Did the LL specifically ask you to check the fire?
If not, I would test nothing, unless you are HETAS. It is not rocket science, but if you are not fully competent and get something wrong you could be liable.IMO.
If they specifically asked, I would be very careful how I couched the response or report. It should not appear on an actual LLGSC at all.
All IMO

Sorry mate:
excerpt from:
The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015: Q&A booklet for the private rented sector – landlords and tenants - GOV.UK
Private sector landlords are required from 1 October 2015 to have at least one smoke alarm installed on every storey of their properties and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room containing a solid fuel burning appliance (eg a coal fire, wood burning stove). After that, the landlord must make sure the alarms are in working order at the start of each new tenancy.
