LeakyLloyd   10 #1 Posted January 2, 2012 right,, we've noticed the last couple of days that when we have had the heating on for a certain amount of time, there is a really bad smell coming from the bedroom above where the boiler is,, iv been sniffing all around the boiler nd cant smell anything, it seems to smell a hell of a lot worse when you get down on your knees and smell near where the pipes go through the floor but ive had the floor boards up and cant see anything ?? the smell doesnt get much worse when the boards are up aswell and the smell can only be described as,, something dead, rotting away ???? its getting unbarable,, have any gas engineers ever come across this problem ??? could it perhaps be a dead rodent that has died and the heat makes the smell worse, its just the smell seams way too bad for it to be a dead rodent ???? any help or suggestions welcome,, its getting unbarable !!!!

LeakyLloyd   10 #5 Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) the boards ive had up i can see from 1 end of the house to the other, but obviously only along that joist space !!! seems really bad at a certain point rather than every board that comes up ! cheers anyway lee !!!
