<p>As a chimney sweep and a HETAS registered fitter, I was called out to a self installed multi fuel stove that wasn't working as it should be. It turned out that the wrong terminal had been fitted on the chimney pot and had become blocked with soot, so all the fumes were going back into the living room, hence the really big black mark on the chimney breast above the fireplace!</p>

<p>When questioned it turned out that the owner was having to open the patio doors a bit each time he lit the fire. The family (himself, wife, 2 kids and a dog) were then always falling asleep in the evening. I told him how so very lucky he was to be alive and that the opening of the patio door had saved his life! His reaction? For God's sake don't tell the wife!</p>

<p>An alarm would've sounded long before the effects of CO would have had chance to take place
Please remember fit a CO alarm for ALL fires, whether it be gas or solid fuel, and don't self install!</p>
