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 ...

DIY Fireplaces

Many of our fire surrounds and fireplaces are suitable to DIY installation, as are some of our fires - HOWEVER - you need to know that a gas fire or a stove/open fire should be installed by the right person:

• Here in the UK a gas fire should be installed by a CORGI registered engineer (http://www.trustcorgi.com/);
• A solid fuel appliance should be installed by a HETAS registered installer (http://www.hetas.co.uk/).

Once the work has been done your installer will issue you with a certificate - this will form part of your Home Information Pack (HIP - http://www.homeinformationpacks.gov.uk/)should you choose to sell your house.
