How can you ensure that you are far enough in front of the car behind? Look in your rear mirror all the time?
SMASH!
'Sorry Officer, I didn't see the car in front as I was looking in my mirror to make sure I wasn't too close to the guy behind.'

What is the point of that question?

Which actually supports my point! Don't worry about the muppet behind you - it's your job to watch where you are going.
Its an HSE issue Dave.
Building the porch has put others at risk, if a neighbour were to get killed as a result of the flue being blocked, Mr Porch would get done for manslaughter.
I phoned gassafe and they agree, so if anyone wants to try the HSE carry on.

Hi
An interesting thread.
I can see that if the porch wall had been built and next door had then been injured or worse then Mr Porch (and/or maybe the architect and builders) would be facing a difficult time.
However, now next door know that the boiler flue distance is incorrect and could be dangerous - regardless of who has caused the problem. I would think the reponsibility of subsequently using the boiler and any consequences now rests with them.
Of course I only think this and I could be wrong. Dont quote me in the Old Bailey.

As I said before ignorance is not a defense.
Dead right ignorance no excuse the gas fitter I use the term loosely should not have put the flue too near to the boundary it's inthe rules to read and if anyone should pay it's the fitter he should be made to fix it at his own expense and if not then he looses his ticket if he's got one
Answer to this problem....Heads Mr Porch pays, tails Mr Boiler pays..........tosses a coin ( I really did and here is what came..................Heads is)
So Mr Porch pays Mr Boiler to amend his flue! simples, no courts, no H&S, no thuggery from corrupt officials !
I am really surprised the OP has not come back for any further updates or pictures, may be he has already received notice from the BC to take it down until the flue is moved or extended! may be!
