Hi all
Many thanks for the replies
I just want to clarify a few things....
The old tenant below had a CO detector for years and it was clear.
I had one for years and it was clear. (a new one is on its way in the post)
The smell only happens maybe once every day or so and lasts for about 3-10 minutes when the noise starts up
What i'm trying to establish is if it's NORMAL for flue fumes to smell bad & what might they be? I wondered if they were harmful in the same way as perhaps car exhaust fumes are harmful. Could it be just down to lack of boiler servicing?
The reason I assumed they not CO was due to the fact that the detectors not detect anything.
The boiler is Gas..
I really appreciate the replies- I guess I'm hoping someone will either say:
1. I shouldn't smell anything at all from a flue....
or
2. Pungent smell is normal at times.
Either of these would be helpful
however no one seems to have said this yet....
In the meantime I will ring the no given and chat with them.....
Many thanks for the replies
