Carbon monoxide detector required??

[Cirrus]

Am currently wiring a new extension off a kitchen which is also being refurbed. Am installing heat detector but 4 feet away and also in kitchen is a gas boiler. Do I also have to fit a carbon monoxide detector?

I think the question(s) is/are..

What does the customer want you to do?

and/or

What do the building plans specify?

 

[Cirrus]

Customer not expressed a wish or a view and plans do not show either sadly. If not required under regs then I won't install but not 100% sure.

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

There is nothing in BS7671 that says you have to fit carbon monoxide detectors

I think the heat detector is all you NEED to do , as Speccy says , customers decision . We are not responsible for faulty gas appliances but fitting one is exactly the right thing to do.
