Hello, got a call from a customer today who had been tested positive for CO levels in her bloodstream. Cadent have been out, confirmed CO levels present and put a disc in the metre informing them to call an engineer. Not had a situation like this before but on arrival I could clearly see the cooker was in a poor state. Poor flame picture on a couple rings, covered in grease etc. First I removed the disc, tested the gas (no drop) Set my analyser for room co test, set the cooker going, closed the door and went to get some bits out the van. Came back 7 mins into test and CO levels were at 85ppm. Didn't see the point of waiting the full 15 mins as clearly a fail. Informed the customer the cooker was immediately dangerous and that I would need to cap off the supply and issue a warning notice which they was fine with. So I capped the cooker, re tested gas supply filled out notice, gave them their copy and placed a label on the cooker but because this is the first time I've had to condemned an appliance im now wondering if I did anything wrong. Does it seem like I took the appropriate steps?
