    hi, i had the boiler bled about 4 weeks ago,and i couldnt get rid of the fumes, called in a serviceman and there had been a leak, he assured me the leak was fixed and if i aired the house the smell would disappear. i have been staying with a friend as i got sick from the smell, so i went in every day and opened the windows and sprayed febreeze etc, its now almost 4 weeks and still cant move back home cos of it, id appreciate any advice, thanx

    If it was an oil leak (big enough to leave a smell that long) you may need to start by contacting your house insurance company, as oil can do a LOT of damage to your house

    I don't want to scare monger it, but, I have seen an oil leak result in partial demolition of a building, and the family rehoused for about 4 months.

    I hope whoever bled your boiler has good insurance too.
    Do not do anyhting else until your insurance company had been advised
