Do I see a water main down there as well best ?

Yes Shaun. Well spotted! Luckily it is a balanced flue, so heat from flue gases is going straight out - when the grass etc was removed. It is an older standard efficiency boiler, so very hot gases. That photo doesn't really show the black grass that is directly in front of flue.
The house is a bit of a bodge.

I come across stupid things like that often.
The owner as I insisted, had to later dig the ground away clear of the flue pipe.
I suggested a new boiler with an unvented cylinder, rather than a combi, if they want the expense.
But it is in the countryside and work has been done for maximum profit I suspect by some farmer type. It could be a can of worms.

I haven't got a photo but a guy on the firm I work for fitted a pressure relief valve thinking it was a automatic bypass...WTF I know, and his in his early 50's thinks he knows it all, there was no telling him either, another guy on the firm also piped a new radiator upside down, with the grills on the bottom. There is a photo of that one, will get my hands on it lol

Came across this Potterton profile (positive pressure case) where the case hooks had snapped off. Case held on with cable ties both sides, been like it for last 2years....

Walk inside the building, they have converted the pub to 3 flats inc a 4 storey townhouse. Joke of a job, guy who demanded boilers where they were didnt listen to a word i said but all the boilers are not affecting anywhere. It got a plume kit on because its less than 2m off the floor, should have a cage but alot of people walk past there which im afraid people could sway onto the road, i informed baxi of all my worries but they agreed if the flues were within distances of OPENINGS of building they were fine. Looks funny from the outside though [emoji23]
