What we see on Blackburn sites
Blackburn still has a lot of manufacturing in buildings that were put up long before modern gas regulations, alongside newer sheds on the business parks. In practice that means older plant rooms with limited combustion air, long runs of steel pipework that have been altered over the years, and warm air heaters working hard in tall, draughty buildings. We check ventilation and flueing as carefully as the appliances themselves.
