megalithic Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Had a service done yesterday by Kier, as usual, but this time he wanted to go in the loft, we don't even have a water tank there, or any pipes i know of. It made me a little suspicious as he thought he was alone with my missus, but i was upstairs working on the pc, once he noticed me he quickly went back downstairs, taking with him our ladder he'd asked to borrow. Is this normal, as we've never had a service engineer want access to the loft before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megalithic Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 There's none up there mate, just my record collection, my old dj gear and pc bits and bobs. I just find it odd he wanted to take a look up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be a perv DJ wanting old records and retro turntables and a PC to upgrade his DJ experience. Failing that, he needs 'bobs' to get it on with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Peacock Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Had a service done yesterday by Kier, as usual, but this time he wanted to go in the loft, we don't even have a water tank there, or any pipes i know of.

Is this normal, as we've never had a service engineer want access to the loft before. This gas engineer actually deserves a big pat on the back. What he was actually doing is checking that the chimney (which passes through the loft) was intact. He will have popped a smoke pellet in the chimney behind the fire downstairs, and was checking in the loft to make sure smoke wasnt leaking into the loft. I have seen chimneys where the mortar between the bricks has worn away and have had to condemn the fire for this reason. He was in fact doing his job spot on to the gas regulations and was acting in the your best interests. There are alot out there which do not check because they cant be bothered, and by the sounds of it you've witnessed this in the past. If your chimney was breached in the loft and it wasnt checked, it is possible that the fumes from the fire could enter the loft, then seep through the ceiling and into the bedrooms, where they could overcome you in your sleep. I hope now you know this guy wasnt being dodgy or suspicious, and in future if the gas engineer who visits doesnt inspect your loft space, I suggest you report him immediately.
