    Try speaking to your landlord, and tell them that there appears to be a problem with the ventilation system. It could be just a broken fan.

    What I would be more concerned with would be your escape route in case of a fire. Is there an alarm system for the whole block (including detectors in each flat)? Do the corridors have possitive pressure ventilation systems?

    Ok, thanks guy, I'll ring the management company (these guys) and see what they have to say and post back to you!

    p.s. Yes there is no gas in our flat I think, the cooker is electric, having said that though my bed is right next to a "Gas emergency control box"
  • hmmm fairly sure a 'bedroom' has to have a window:

    required for escape more than airing - think you're living in a dressing/utility area...
