I'm a leaseholder. Yeah good idea, might get building control out. Thanks.

Definitely doesn't look right but she's the freeholder so she thinks she can do what she wants.

She is the freeholder - thats why she thinks she can do whatever she wants. So the flue needs to be 300cm or inches from the window reveal? Just measured it - the flue is 40cm from the window frame. Good to know it must slope upwards too.

She is the freeholder - thats why she thinks she can do whatever she wants & finds it objectionable that we question it. I heard her tell the engineer when he suggested it be higher 'No, it needs to be at a height I can reach.' She use a step stool to reach the controls.

Me too. Maybe I'm too cynical but sounds like a DIY job. Why is the backing board higher than boiler and maybe I'm wrong but is the spur upside down? Surely coring new hole is easiest way to fix, although it certainly doesn't look like 1m from window as prev said. The backing board is...

It doesn't show in the photo but the boiler is low and jutting out 65% into the stairwell. Anyone tall will bang their head on it & it will be impossible to move heavy domestic furniture past it.

Yeah there was, but it was smaller & higher. I heard her tell the engineer when he suggested it goes higher 'No, it needs to be at a height I can reach.' It's definitely a safety issue.

Its a Viessmann Vitodens 111

Its a Viessmann Vitodens 111. The woman having it installed has refused to create another hole. She can afford the new pipes though. I'll try & find the guide for it.

About a meter. Do you know if a flue can run downwards?

Wasn't connected at time of photo.

Its a brand new boiler being installed by my neighbour. If its raised higher on the wall, I need to know if the gases would flow through a flue which goes downward as shown in the pipe drawn in red?

This is a new boiler being installed by my neighbour, at the time of the photo the adjoining pipe from the boiler to the wall hadn't been installed. Thing is that its on a stairwell placed very low. Its a large boiler so comes out into the stairwell 65% blocking access to our flat. I told her...

There's a boiler which needs to be raised higher. See photo attached. Can a flue run upwards from the top and horizontally along the top & then downwards beside it before a 90 degree bend exits it into the wall & outside? [/img] The photo doesn't attach to this post but just click on my...
