My father is fitting my condensing combi boiler up to but not including the final gas and water pipes. He is a retired heating engineer of 30 years and previously corgi registered but wants to be sure on flue position and recent reg changes. Its natural exit is just above a single storey rear extension from the kitchen and is too close to the sloping roof as the regs state it needs to be more than 30cm away. In the pictures below I have tried to capture where the flue will naturally exit above some old render on the flashing and the point at which it meets the 30cm rule. it's more than one metre away from the opening window above but a fair bit closer to the window below. 1- What would you say is the best course of action? 2 - Could it be simply exit the wall, 90 degree to the side and exit there or is there issues with walkways? 3 - As my house is very small, approx 10-11ft wide terrace will this also be infringing boundary rule regs?
There has never been a boiler at this property but the only practical place for this to be is on this wall.
We were intending to have the work checked and commissioned later but may have to change that if there is no clear solution.
Thanks for any assistance in advance
