Hello. I am not a plumber.
I am tenant my oil boiler hasnt seen a plumber in 3 years and hasnt had the flue cleaned in since I moved in four years ago. My landlord is a local letting agent that rents out quite a large amount of properties in the county. He doesnt shedule any form of maintainance on any oil or solid fuel appliance.
I have rung OFTEC who said contact local building control. Local building control came out yesterday said the tank which breaks Reg J in every direction is outside of the window for action because it was put in more than two years ago and he said the oil boiler wasnt his department. I asked if he could contact the HSE, he said they do gas not oil. i have had environmental health out. He said boilers and electrics weren't what he checked for. I told him the boiler when we used it drank fuel, barely heated the radiators and occasional made smells like an old bus, he said it looked like it would be OK to use!!!!!!!
OK so who, if anyone is reponsible for investigating and prosecuting landlords that rents properties with unsafe non gas heating systems?
Have I been fobbed off or do I need to contact the local MP to get the law changed, because I think my landlord might kill someone sooner or later.
