Room Sealed appliances in cupboards / compartments ?

Cheers bennygas, that's a top notch example and explains clearly why serious informed thought should always be applied when considering ventilation..........and sorry to hear you've been laid off, you obviously know your stuff so here's hoping something else falls in your lap sooner rather than later.

It's also evident that in order to be well informed, one has to possess every bit of written bumf about gas....I don't have the bpec training manual from which mikegas was able to clarify the 5m3 compartment size...........corgi, gas safe, viper, bpec, construction skills, bs standards etc etc etc............what a nightmare....

no worries mate. on the work front, got an offer outstanding at the minute - they told me I got the job a week ago, but they still can't decide how much they'll pay me! if the money aint there, I aint getting involved. still, got a couple of interviews arranged for a couple of weeks time - jobs i'd really like. suppose it's just a bit of a gamble eh? If all else fails, it looks as though I'm off to be a physics teacher! bit of a change in tack.

Well very best of luck either way, if your qualified as well to each physics, you'll no doubt come good..........and there I was feeling sorry for you ; )

no need for pity! i'm big enough and definately ugly enough to sort things out! just seems like a long drawn out game all this applying for jobs lark - in work i'm busy all day, sat waiting round for the post does yer nut in. get there in the end though eh!

I think the inspector is way off the mark here. So a boiler in a small broom cupboard just large enough for you to fit inside is not a compartment? Utter rubbish!
To a degree it is down to individual interpretation, but if it is not a habitable area it is classed as a compartment.


Your average condensing boiler may not require cooling ventilation as long as the manufacturers minimum clearances are met. Otherwise cooling ventilation may be required.

now your being pedantic or maybe my wording didnt read right i still stand by his principle if you can go in and close the doorwhile attending the boiler its a room which ties in with the 5 m2 being spoken of else where
a small broom cupboard is a cupboard no matter how many apprentices you can squeeze in
