i moved in to a housing ass property about a year ago, i had annual boiler service last week. boiler has now been condemed due to flue not being conected in loft (so after the gas has been used all the fumes are going into my loft instead of out roof), 2 overflows (boiler, sola pannals) have no outlet (so if boiler overheats boiling hot water will come out overflow) in my boys bedroom (age 5 and 8) there are also electrics near overflow, if a fire did start with the gases in loft the whole lot would go up. my eldest son suffers with headaches ive been told it could be caused by carbon monoxide(hes on a top bunk). im so angre with housing ass, putting my kids at risk, we could have died!! the boiler must have been like it when we moved in as it was first service! ive got a certificute -gas safe why was is passed. have i got a case?? also we have still not got gas turned on( day 11). im being told to sue i need advise!!! what would you do and how??? please help x
