I don’t think it’s very safe when it back ups into the living room neither proper installed. For me it’s shocking and putting his family at risk.

Do you think it’s correct when fumes backing up into the room?
Is that not shocking for you ?
I always was under the impression you take th8ngs very serious 🙂
If I am wrong that’s ok but have reported it just to be on the safe side.

What about spillage everywhere ?

It hasn’t got any hearth which is non combustible, what about flue ? Haven’t seen any flue liner either and I was sure you will require a flue liner. What about the safety surrounding what happens when the coal is coming out onto wooden floor?

You don't need a liner as long as the chimney is sound.

Looks like a work in progress.

Understand what you mean, Report it if you feel strongly about it, But I doubt HSE will do anything, Looks like its been like this for quite some time

that’s actually true. But how do I know it’s sound? If he uses a fire like this I wouldn’t trust his words. However, for me it ain’t right based on spillage etc

That’s not correct. If they run such a company they should undertake some actions. However, I wanted to back up myself and that’s what I did.

Thanks a lot to all of you for your input

they can only do something if a company has done something

if the customer has done it themselves they dont care

 

[townfanjon]

That looks like its been there for years, has it just been installed ?

I can’t tell you that. I assume it’s like this for some time. However, it’s not safe to use and that’s for me the priority.

But how do you know that it is not safe Ron?

That was a joke Ron
Whoosh!

It looks like a farmers DIY job lol.

Its my understanding that HSE like to collect information and build up a file on the offending person Don't think much gets done for a one off reports, unless something serious has happened , Explosion etc.

Yes, and they will ask if your competent to judge Solid fuel installations, i.e. are you qualified ?

There can’t be decent chimney draw on that fire with the wide and unclosed opening. Fumes at times must be terrible in that room.
The hearth base seems to be concrete, so probably as safe as if a proper hearth was in place.
Definitely a laid back homeowner there!
