Gas Safe Register technical bulletin TB008 (Ed 3) guidance document was released on 1[SUP]st[/SUP] April 2013 which calls for inspection hatches to be installed to allow periodic inspection of flues located within a void space. Appendix 1, section 11 of guidance notice allows the use of a CO void monitoring system (COSSVM) where inspection hatches cannot be installed or the home owner is unwilling to have hatches installed.

This is poop. Go back to the developer/ installer and contact the HSE. This is all to common, but has had loads of time to be sorted. The requirements have been in your several years.

I agree a block of flats I did a lot of work on the builder had to build stairs and install inspection hatches so the flue could be inspected At a cost of £500000 so I heard. These flats were around 8 years old. So I would speak to neighbours if they have the same problem (I would of thought they have the same problem) then take it up with the builder.

£500000 is a lot of hatches?

Haha. They had to design and build 3 staircases going up 3 floors which cost the most of the money. They were fitting 2' x 3' hatches as well as there were four flues going up in the void.
