Plumbing and central heating engineers need to be ready for anything. Central heating systems and pipe networks can be so varied and different, that they are open to a catalogue of potential issues all of which need to be solved by your central heating engineer as soon as he/she walks through the door.

The UK government has for some time faced pressure to take action on climate issues and pollution. Earlier this year it announced fresh plans to even outlaw wood burning stoves that do not satisfy stringent environmental clean air standards set at government level. Harmful emissions have been a pressing subject in recent years after the high profile story of 9-year-old Ella Kissi-Debrah, a Lewisham child who died from asthma which many say was due to exposure to pollution from the main road next to her house.

Household boiler explosions are not commonplace but unfortunately they do happen and can cause serious harm to those caught in the immediate vicinity. Just earlier this month a suspected boiler explosion destroyed a family home in Staffordshire inflicting multiple fatalities to the four occupants inside. Back in 2015 two sisters were having a coffee in the front room when the central heating boiler exploded sending shards of brick and mortar in all directions. Although one of the sisters later recovered from minor force trauma injuries, a fireman later stated that she would have been cut in half if it wasn’t for the thick coffee table shielding the lower half of her body. As a result of the explosion, her property also suffered significant structural damage.
