How safe is my home to live in? (Smoking of none Smoking?)

 How safe is my home to live in?  (Smoking of none Smoking?)

Over the past 18 months I have been helping to strip back a family home where the family member used to smoke and lived for over 40 years.

Below are the photos of the tiles that were on the roof of the kitchen, that were removed to make the house safe to live in.

You can see from the images hoe much they have changed colour due to the amount of nicotine residue that the rom contained where they would smoke.

Being a none smoker and having to be in the rental market I always look out for signs that show that the owner of the home I rent use to smoke or have pets.

Due to the mount my loved one use to smoke the whole house will have to be striped back and any thing that is to badly soiled will have to be removed or cleared.

Before when I use to live on a narrowboat we have to aware of the coal fire and also damp.

Yet in a home people tend to be a little more unaware of some of the risks.

To live on a boat the rules are very important and with out a safety certificate you can not get a boat licence.

With out a boat licence you can not be on the water or get insurance.

Yet for a bricks and mortar apart from recommending that you have you boiler checked once a year and put up a smoke alarms nothing else is really needed.

I will continue to post more about this in time.
