Currently in a rented house in which my little lad has had five asthma attacks over the last 6/8 months.
The boiler broke on Friday. Landlord says he has British gas home plan, engineer booked for Monday. Fine, I know it takes time for these things. British gas bloke came today, says cannot touch this, sticks a "do not turn this boiler system on unless fixed and inspected by a corgi engineer as the fume is not sealed" offical sign on the boiler. True there is a big gaping hole around the fume. Landlord tells me this is ok as the fume extends a long way from the wall. It has been like this since the boiler was fitted (Jan). The git has never had the boiler inspected. He phoned up to get the British gas cover after I told him the boiler was broken. The engineer was not coming today to fix it; he came to inspect the boiler to see if it could be covered.
I asked the landlord to see the gas certificate that all landlords are required to have, as whoever signed it off needs sacking now. Turns out the dodgy feker hasnt got one.
I asked him for the name of the company and engineer who fitted the boiler. he said he cannot say as they guy was doing a 'backhander'.
Great the landlord wants to fek around with the safety of tennants to save a few quid.
He has NO gas safety certificate and gets important jobs done by cowboys moonlighting.
It's possible but not conclusive that my sons attacks were caused by gases coming back into the house.....it's a fact that he doesn’t hold the full gas safety certificates that a landlord (and I presume any homeowner) is legally obliged to have.
What my next action????
