Flue dripping from exhaust and from air intake.

Hi Riley, thanks for your comment. If the information I have provided makes you think my flue doesn't satisfy regulations because of the extension please let me know because that could make a big difference.

Riley, tread carefully my friend, like you and others have said Something doesn`t stack up here.

Thanks Harry, the flue has been there for along time now so it's past the stage of urgency but I will take your advice and I will get an indepedent GAS Safe engineer. They almost certainly will not get access to the internal installation so will probably have to inspect only what you can see in the pics posted. Please could you give me something specific I can bring to the attention of the engineer. In a previous comment I explained my experience with Building Inspectors and don't want to risk missing anything. Cheers mate.

The whole scenario just sounds ridiculous to me. All I can tell you is that the manufacturers instructions well set out exactly how you're boiler will work giving worst case scenario clearances. If your boiler is within these guide lines then the boiler will work if it doesn't then it's something the manufacturer needs to take a look at. All the same this isn't for you to sort out get a gas safe engineer out

Totally agree mate

I'm sorry to say mate you are not going to get anybody committing to something on here to use as your evidence as we are working purely based on photos provided by you and we cannot give an objective opinion based on this. I am sure you can appreciate that these photos are not indicative of the whole install and that other underlying issues that you have missed off exist. One of our guys off here may be happy to come out and check it out? Where are you

Hi Riley Gas installations do not need planning permission and there is no requirement to discuss what you intend to do with neighbours before starting to build.

Hi Riley fair comment. No one in their right mind would ever consider using advice from an internet forum as evidence. Anyone trying to do that would have a pickle for a brain. I only wanted information and nothing else. The only thing that matters are hard facts. If there were any obvious breaches of regs or dangerous faults from the pictures I would have appreciated them being pointed out. I can give you my contact details in a PM if you want so can you recommend someone local to me or tell me how I find a good engineer?

My point was not planning for the gas install.

But rather when they built their extension your install should have been taken into account.

This is the issue when flues cross boundaries etc this is why I find what's gone on hardto comprehend

Thanks Riley. I am sorry if I came accross as a bit iffy but this has been going on for some time and my problem certainly seems to be an odd one so fully appreciate all concerns expressed. Your response to the pic of my flue got me thinking and having taken another look at doc J, it says min distance to a terminal facing a terminal is 1200mm so if my flue counts as facing the neighbours terminal then they clearly can't put their flue where it is with or without permission. I never considered that before but you certainly got me thinking so cheers for that.
Believe it or not I have got a life apart from this so it sort of crept up to this stage.
Anyway I do thank you sincerely for the proverbial boot up the jacksy as it got me to put me thinking hat on.
