A big ditto to everything Blake said.
Get rid of gas fire - you need a GSR engineer to do this - very few landlords keep them.
The guy who came might not have been qualified to do fires and fire...

I could be wrong but i am NOt aware of any legislation requiring a CO alarm in Scotland.
There has been consultation about making it compulsory under building regs and I think this would follow the...

The "Certificate"
is not a pass or fail document so you do not need a new one!
It is a record of what was found on the day of the inspection.

Faults will be noted on the document and then you...

Did the landlord know your children would be sleeping in the room with the gas fire?
The Gas Safety Regulations 1998 stipulate certain conditions for gas fires in rooms that are also used for...

BS 6798:2009
Point 5.3.8 roof space installation

I think (but could be wrong)
- you need good access to it - so a safe fixed loft ladder should be OK
and the loft need to be boarded so safe access is possible.
There are regulations and I will...

Let me add a general point about CO alarms.
Don't ignore your CO alarm and think all is OK when it goes off because it is not.
BUT
In this UK / Europe CO alarm standards mean that that they can...

I am sure others with expertise will advise on some of your points I just wanted to address the CO - which is something I know about.

You shouldn't be threatened by verbal accounts and be bullied...

Yes the gas fire should be on it!
An engineer who is on the Gas Safe Register must have spent some time in the house - didn't your daughter let him(or her) in and show the engineer the fire?
Every...

If you had a gas cooking appliance it MIGHT require an openable window - so there may have been implications that are not obvious at first. I am sure another window company may come up with faster...

AND
the reason the law doesn't require Lsndlord Gas Safety check for new installations is because
the safety checks done for the landlord inspection - as listed in the Gas Regs 1998

You do NOT need a Gas Safety Inspection record if everything is new. If you just have a gas boiler then you need to get the inspection done within 12 months of the installation date of the boiler.

Have you got the owner's manual?
It may say something in there. If you haven't you may be able to find it to download on line.
Then I would contact the technical dept of the cooker manufacturer to...

Hard to imagine anyone would by a second hand gas cooker - but in case you do. Not only must it comply with current legislation - eg have FSD if in multi dwelling property.
You MUST have the...

You spotted my sloppy language!
I am sure my post here is the only place were you will find it written:
...anyone except landlord can install....
I should have said any one can install a second...

That is true.
But only the GSR engineer can fit the new hose to the new cooker.

A new gas oven does not come with the hose & boyonet... a GSR engineer should be employed to fit the hose/bayonet, regardless of whether it is for a landlord or homeowner.

And.
A different issue...

Any of the tenant's own gas appliances will be listed as present but not tested by the GSR engineer on the Gas Safety Inspection Report.

Any NEW gas cookers must always be fitted by a GSR engineer...

big Ditto to all this.
Turn your phone on to silent and don't feel you have to constantly deal with their calls.
You aren't responsible for damage to any of the tenants property - including their...

Thanks for letting us know.

I am not sure what the law...

They are often triggered by CO entering from another property - there migt be nothing wrong in...

YES! Well you need the inspection (CP12)done before the 12 month anniversary of the installation. The installation date will be as per all the documentation - the Certificate.
It is in the...

If you only have one gas appliance - such as a boiler - and that appliance is newly installed then you do not need a Landlord's Inspection. You will need a landlords inspection within 12 months. ...
