Please help!
I live in a semi and new neighbour has installed a flue very close to my boundary, in the rear bedroom of the first floor. Usual problems, plumes blowing across and entering through window etc. As I am asthmatic, this is a particular health problem for me.
Building Control have been next to useless, coming up with one excuse after another. Finally, they did measure the distance from the flue to my boundary and said it was 220mm. However, on this forum, I read that the distance should be 300mm.
Despite this, Building Control are refusing to do anything about it as they say the installation is self-certified (Gas Safe installer) and does not fall under building control. What am I supposed to do?
Also, there is a constant low frequency noise and humming/vibration which can be heard not only in the rear bedroom, but the bathroom which is also on the rear.
I desperately need advice!
