CO detector
Comments

CO detector costs about £15 and you can take it with you when you move.
B&Q, homebase, B&M, ebay, Amazon etc
Give your energy supplier a call ! we got three delivered for free.
One for boiler, one for gas fire, one for cooker ( this was eon so thanks Eon)
Now that IS mse... might give that a try, thanks.0 -
Fluff I see what your saying but is it not like a MOT? You get a piece of paper pass or fail with items to be addressed on. In this case I have three sections marked regarding the detector and thats the fault. Ie gas safe once that is rectified.0

If the boiler, gas fire, gas cooker etc were dangerous, the engineer would have turned them off and stuck a big red notice on them warning you not to us.
He did not.
The appliances have been checked, and are safe.
You have a certificate.
Law complied with.
Stop clutching at straws.
In my first post I provided a link to a £12.99 alarm you can use to put your mind at rest (sensible) and take with you when you leave.0 -

and we are repeatedly telling you that it is NOT a LEGAL requirement that the LL has to provide a WORKING detectorremind me what the peice of paper says that he wrote on....oh yeah ya aint seen it.

once identified on the gas safety check there is no legal requirement for the LL to rectify that "fault" as it is not part of the appliances, pipework or flues covered by the check
read the rules published by the regulator "Should my landlord provide me with a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm?"

You asked for advice specifically on whether the certificate was valid. you have been told by more than one person its. You've also been told that you can get a CO detector for £15 or less. You've been told that the Landlord has no requirement to provide one.
If you don't accept or believe this it is your privilege. I'd rather rely on G_M having seen some of his other posts. If you don't want any further advice then I would gracefully retire and not contribute further rather than being rude.0 -
