    Is there a seperate certificate, for a gas fire.

    I have never needed to do one. My customer had her boiler and fire serviced. I failed the gas fire as it was spilling. I said it could be cobwebs. She has now had the chimney cleaned. I have been back refitted the fire and tested. Passed both tests. Do I re-issue a cp12? or is there another form...

    Safety Check on a Coalbrookdale fire?

    Has anyone recently done a LGSC at a house with a Coalbrookdale fire in it? What did you test? I know its not a gas appliance but it still burns solid fuel and produces CO2. Any insight would be good. Thanks.
