Carbon monoxide - a silent killer

About 50 people die each year as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning - and when we mention it you probably think about your gas appliances - oven/hob, central heating boiler, gas fire, etc ...

But 19 year old Declan Oliver died because the wood burning stove he and his father had installed was not correctly fitted. Read more about this sad case.

The BBC website has a wonderful Health guide relating to carbon monoxide poisoning - here.

Our advice ...

• Have appliances professionally installed; or
• Have DIY installations professionallly checked
• Have your gas appliances serviced/checked annually
• Fit a carbon monoxide alarm - our prices start from around £25.
  

Yes, it'll cost a few pounds ... but really I can't imagine how Mr Oliver senior feels now ...

Was there ever a better time ... ?

With people having a little spare cash, interest rates being low etc, I don't think there's ever been a better time to get those home improvement jobs done.

• Upgrade the bathroom
• Install a new fireplace
• Change the kitchen sink
• Get your central heating boiler serviced
• New central heating boiler - energy efficient and all that ...
• Add a radiator, etc

With tradesmen in less demand I really don't think there's been a better time to get your jobs done and certainly not at a better rate.

The BBC's Watchdog problem reports problems with Gas Safe card

When the Gas Safe Register took over from CORGI there were inevitable concerns about the smooth running of that process. Last night the BBC's respected Watchdog programme reported on problems with engineers not receiving their Gas Safe Cards - http://www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog.

Thank heavens we were ahead of the game on this one ... ours were in before the switch was made in early April.

To check a heating engineer, or company, visit http://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/.

You engineer should carry a gas safe card which looks like this:

If in doubt - contact the Gas Safe Register - they have a freephone number 0800 408 5500.

Gas Safe Register ...

The envelope arrived! This is it - we're registered! We are officially on the Gas Safe Register - feels like that was cut a little tight, but we're on in time for the 1 April (2009) change from CORGI to Gas Safe Register ...
