The rule applies to concealed flue's I.E boxed in or located within a ceiling void, whether the boiler is concealed or not is irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteCO alarms are a temporary, interim measure, Access panels have to be fitted in the ceiling or duct by December 2012. As from January 2013 any concealed flue installation that does not have the required number of access panels will be considered as a dangerous installation and will fail a Landlords gas safety inspection. Regardless of how many CO alarms you have installed.
One further point on the CO alarms is that the removable/replacement battery type CO alarm is not acceptable.
