But which side is the right side?

Taken from the HSE site:
Since 31 October 1998, any room converted to use as sleeping accommodation should not contain the following types of gas appliances:

1. A gas fire, gas space heater or a gas water heater (including a gas boiler) over 14 kilowatts gross input unless it is room sealed.
2. A gas fire, gas space heater, or a gas water heater (including a gas boiler) of 14 kilowatts gross input or less or any instantaneous water heater unless it is room sealed or has an atmosphere-sensing device.

If a room contains one or more of the above appliances and was used as a bedroom prior to 1998 then you will need to do a risk assessment to determine if it can still be used as a bedroom. If you are unsure of the safety of any gas appliance you should get a Gas Safe registered engineer [7] to check it for you.

Ask a Yorkshireman :j

Our last room sealed boiler had a tiny flue like that.
I assume that doesn't go into the house next door?

Well that's interesting, I've recently had quotes in from boiler installers who seem quite happy to install a combi boiler within an airing cupboard which is in the spare bedroom.

Printed brochures are so last-year, all the cool sellers are using videos from remote-controlled drones...

They will all be balanced flue systems nowadays, so room sealed. If in a cupboard, they will have to provide ventilation, but this is just to prevent overheating of the small space, I believe.

Or it might also be to ensure that you smell the gas if there's a leak. After all, suppliers put the smell into natural gas, as it doesn't have any of its own.

No lime coloured walls or buckets in the bath almost guarantees the buyer will be Welsh
