Were Ascot water heaters banned?



They come under Gas Safety regulations not Building Standards (or housing
law, which is the legislation the Scottish Govt are using).

Open flue gas heaters were defined as unsatisfactory in bathrooms and I
think bedrooms, so would fail a gas safety inspection. Concealed flues
have also been declared unsatisfactory and this is catching a lot of
people out in flats.


what's a concealed flue?

is there any type of flue that's allowed

Most people in my block have their boiler located in the small bedroom
(though not everyone will be using it as a bedroom)

Even new installs have been done that way
