Proximity of flue

Life is short !!!

I don't like it, feel its too close. If the flue near the flat doesn't bother the people in the flat that's fine, it's also their output, not someone else's being imposed on them. I hope you can see from that perspective.

Bigger things in life to worry about.

If a low level flue had to be 2.5m from a boundary than there's a lot of illegal flues around. I don't think it breaches any rules, or any that will force it to be moved.

With the height the flue has been positioned then I would suggest that the installer has already raised it internally to prevent it being as much of a nuisance if it had been sticking out at 1.8m with a terminal guard.

Your only issue is that on the occasion that the boiler is running and the wind is blowing in the right direction and the boiler is condensing and you just happen to be walking past, then for a split second you will pass through the steam generated.

Get a quote from a Gas safe engineer for adjustment work. Talk to neighbour offering to pay for it. Problem solved. Everyone's happy ! Well maybe ;-)

Sympathetic lot on here haha

I don't think you are going to get the answer you are wanting. If you feel aggrieved than pursue through Gas Safe. I don't know if they will charge you to come and look at it though.

I did take it up with building control, guy said it depends where you take the boundary from. That sounds nuts to me. I don't appreciate being fobbed off.

it's not ruining my life, but if I can get something done about it I will, & best do it soon as.

 

[helpsy]

Off you go then....seem to know what route you're taking.

why does anyone think gas safe will give a hoot, it is a building control issue and they have already pased it if the extn is built and lived in
