They found the leak near the meter, after lifting just one small floorboard. Phew. OM - now there is no gas leak, Mike will surely use carbon monozide as an excuse unless I get a detector. But we have had the chimney swept and the boiler serviced. Lady - blankets would make my stepmother happy. She always brings her own as we only have duvets and she doesn't like them. G Blair and Andrew - welcome. My advice wasn't really advice, it was tongue in cheek, and we are now safe and sound. Our Corgi chaps made the same point as you, about their legal responsibility to safeguard their clients and neighbouring houses. I'm just thankful we didn't have to re-floor the kitchen.

It’s cheaper in the long run." that is poor advise, servicing insures the safe and efficient use of your boiler. i am sure that you will be the first to blame the corgi man for not checking your gas for leaks when it all goes belly up and a major gas incident occurs. remember it is our necks that is on the line.
