    Dont risk it, boilers, fires everything, get one installed. The best ones are the 5 or 6 yr battery life models. Install them more than 150mm from the ceiling above the doors and windows in any room with a combustion source, preferably on the same wall. If they do go off, evacuate immiediately...

    Bird nesting in chimneys

    i wouldnt either!!! thought you meant unused totally, not keen on the hat version for any flue i use, chimneys are living beasties and need to breath, rain entry should not be an issue as chimneys get around 35 litres of water a year passing through them

    Bird nesting in chimneys

    the ones I use here are galvanised and coated so they dont tend to rust, its the acids in the soot and smoke that corrode mostly then the rain gets in. not keen on the hat version, prefer a c-cap for unused flues.
