We are renting currently boiler in active for more than 3 weeks no despite landlord having 6 engineer visits It just stopped working had a fix lasted two weeks then off again. so know getting onto a 5 week issue. No current gas safe certificate in place boiler installed to low with not a enough space underneath. condensation pipe was cut by an engineer as it was feared it was frozen ( pipe runs along an outside wall unlagged into outside downpipe 3rd floor flat ) pipe not been rectified so water has been turned off and the gas turned off been like this for 3 weeks. Last engineer declared it un safe primarily because of the height thing didn't or attempt any repair or test anything else as per wrong installation. What's the initial dangers of a boiler being installed with less than half the clearance to the floor as recommended by the installation instructions. We dont have a current certificate in place and the one before cant be provided either. And if t could how could have it passed if not installed correctly?
 
Nothing other than a pain to work on not unsafe just because there’s not enough service clearance below
