Gas fire - products of combustion in the attic

Oct 05, 2010 0 Replies

Had a look round a property yesterday with a view to purchasing. It had a living flame'-type fires, and on close inspection found a notice on it saying it's been condemned due to products of combustion being detected in the attic.



I'm assuming this means the gasman's popped a smoke pellet up the chimbley and then found smoke in the roof space? How hard is this likely to be to sort out: is it going to be a case of dropping a copex liner down the chmimney? If so, or not, is that very expensive?



At this stage, just wondering how big an issue this may be, really...



Thanks David
