Carbon Monoxide Investigations

CARBON MONOXIDE KILLS
You can’t see it, taste it, or smell it

What is it?

Carbon Monoxide is a poisonous gas. It can be given off by appliances which burn gas, oil, coal or wood if they’re not working properly. This deadly gas can be produced if your appliance is faulty, the room is not properly ventilated or the chimney/flue is blocked.

We can undertake full on-site Carbon Monoxide investigations including the submission of a full detailed report, supported with Flue Gas Analyser test results and printouts
