Priority Risk were called to a Large Georgian Apartment Block to examine whether or not the gas flues were in our opinion safe. The apartment block had stood for a long time and as such new did not have gas fitted as a means of heating originally. Over the years residents of the apartments have added their own central heating systems to the point where all apartments now vent their gas flues into the two light wells of the building at every level.

The concern we had was that carbon monoxide would build up in the light well and potentially leak into the apartments or the ground floor areas. We called in a specialist Mechanical Electrical Company who carried out a full survey of the flues and their outputs. They designed a communal flue system to address this issue. If your light well looks like the one pictured you may have a carbon monoxide problem, the one featured certainly did.

If you would like the contact details for the Flue Company we used please drop us a line.
