I wouldn't bother with the law firms. Failing to provide a gas safety certificate is a criminal offence, and you can make a complaint to the HSE who will then prosecute on your behalf. It does also sound like there hasn't been a safety check for a long time, which is worth mentioning; the burden of proof will be on the landlord to show that he's had them done. Also, if the installation was dangerous, the engineer should already have reported it (a legal requirement), so you may find you don't have to do anything.
That said, not being a civil suit, none of the money would go to you, and it won't solve your problem with the cold.
