If it had not been conducted correctly, it would not have been safe.
Apart from that, unless you were there and followed him constantly, you don't know what he did or did not do.

It is 100% certain that the only thing the engineer did was a drop test. He never he went into the kitchen, living room or indeed any other room.

Is there a procedure or Code of Practice relevant to Drop Tests?

Once again thanks for everyones input

Would not have been a gas safe engineer then would have been an gas emergency engineer just checking the property for safety which is standard in the case of reports of smell of gas outside.

If at all concerned call 0845 605 6677 advise that the property was visited after outside report and they can check it out for you.

Positive nothing to be concerned about. All the emergency engineer was doing was checking no concern for safety.

Without having been present, I can't tell for sure any more than you can, but it is extremely unlikely.
Anything and everything to do with gas safety is strictly regulated.

Not every gas appliance has an FFD ie many older gas fires, gas hobs and gas ovens don't have them.

The crazy aspect of this is that hobs new are available without FFD's and can be fitted in any property other than flats. :eek:
It appears that it is not acceptable if your flat and possibly your neighbours blows up due to a hob not having a FFD.

It's OK though if your nice semi and your neighbours blows up due to not having an FFD. :rotfl:

You are giving me nightmares. No FFD!?

I am constantly snuffing my burner off by the spaghetti pot boiling over. I have also had pilot flames going out in boilers and water heaters on occasions.

I want a court order banning non-FFD appliances within a half mile radius. I want ASBOs on any neighbour refusing to comply.
