Combi Boilers/CO Detectors

[SSE]

Few houses I've worked at recently have oil combi boilers outside in a specially made box with a door. Theres no co detetctors in house and I was just wondering if this would just be because its outside? As I know if the boiler was inside there would need to be one.

more than likely due too the house not having a gas supply.

Any fuel burning appliance can create CO. As you say, it is probably due to the boiler being outside. Is the boiler room ventilated?

probably not required due to it being external from the house and not in an occupied housing BroInlaw has OIL and his boilers in a wee housing not much bigger than the boiler its self

It ain't even a boiler room, it's just a combi sitting outside with a box/cabinet round it! Ventilation pipe is out side and not inside at all so I can't see it being a problem. Told them they could get a plug on co detector for piece of mind if they wanted.
