Got the details from my neighbour the boiler is an Ideal Icos HE18, the manager of the company that installed it recently came round to fix a leak and said that his guys had done a good job. He also told her don’t worry as new the boiler only produces steam and NOTHING ELSE!! Clearly has no...

Thanks Trundles Tricks, I was also surpised and shocked at some of the views, shame more fitters don't think like you and a few others on here. It would have required very little extra work, to do it right in the first place. I also agree that simply using the 30cm rule is just an excuse, one...

Is that done by someone independent of the company who installed it and as a warm front installer yourself do these inspections carry any weight? This is very useful to know, thanks

is that part 203146

Thanks for posting, could you confirm if these guys have to work to any other standards then already mentioned, for example as I have said the height of the flu is simply the height of the guy with the drill in his hand, had he been taller it would have been higher. Surely if it is possible...

I appreciate I may be starting to annoy some of you on here, but I can assure you that had this thing been near a living room window it wouldn’t have bothered me even though staring at a permanent mist would not be pleasant. The main reason for kicking up a fuss is simply because it is right...

why wouldn't it work?

couldn't agree more

I know this is the wrong make as James has said it is probably "Ideal boiler" but this is the type of thing (see photo link) I am looking for as I think it will solve the problem. Anything similar available for Ideal boilers? http://www.boilers2go.co.uk/product.php?productid=35873&cat=3065

James I was just looking at the ideal webiste are you able to tell from my photos exactly what type of boiler it is, also on checking other makes their websites provide considerable detail about fitting a plume management kit, can't seem to see it on the ideal website. It would help to get the...

Thanks for all the advice guys. Agile you say that a “plume management component, an elbow” has already been fitted, what I want to know is can something be attached to what you see in the picture to take the fumes higher up thereby there would be no chance of it coming into my window...

Does this mean that I can't take it further? Also you mention a vertical kit, do you know how much it would be so I can either pay for it myself or ask the neighbour to mention it to the fitter, if he returns. thanks again for your help/advice

[that flue is directional, you can twist it away from your property quite easily by hand. :wink: I don't think that will do it if the wind is blowing in my direction, far better that it goes over the roof.

Thanks again James I am attaching a photo it is taken from my window the pebble dash is the start of my house, and you can also see the start of my window frame (right side of photo). I am not sure if you can zoom in on the photo through this forum It has also just occured to me why it...
