Thanks! Great advice above btw. I'll do just that. And yes, it's not specifically my neighbour it's the work that's been done. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for your advice; to everyone. Chaps you've been really helpful. I suspect I'll be back on the forum soon with more queries due to neighbour's removal of interior walls etc, but thankfully there shouldn't be anymore plumbing concerns.

Yes both flues/pipes are the same length and extend out over the balcony but as someone else pointed out they shouldn't drip but do, and onto the general walkway and carpark. They're more than 2.1 M off the ground. Called gas safety but no luck. They don't get involved unless there's an official...

Interesting. So their flue is in breach for them but possibly not me. I'll have to measure it. Thanks.

Gas safety have said they won't come out to inspect, because I haven't made an official complaint about the company who installed either flue, which is reasonable. I wouldn't have a clue who installed either of them, mine was installed before I moved in and neighbour doesn't communicate. GS said...

Good points and thanks. Let's see what sooey says too. Their airbrick is the other side of their flue. Which is def less than 300mm (you can see it in the pics). My window has to be opened when cooking though and the window has built in vents for air circulation. Even with the window closed...

Just posted pics. Not sure if it helps because there's no perspective to the pics. Will have to take measurement to be 100% on distance between my flue and fan. My flue is beside my window too but on the other side from theirs. In the pics, there's is the one of the left. Thanks for moving it...

That's what I think is being used (see pics), so it might be fitted correctly? Thanks.

Unfortunately the kitchen can get up to 30+degrees c when not in use, and a lot hotter if using the oven so the window is opened when using the over/cooker. The window is beside their flue (as shown in the pics) but I don't know if this is an issue or not (either allowing the smell in or...

Didn't expect such a great response, thanks lads. First off, I didn't paint the place (I think a child did given its pink!), it's in a real state but I'm not asking for decorating advice. Pics attached (one showing both flues, mine and theirs, the others showing my window etc), I think given...

I'll take some tomorrow in the light and post them. Thanks.

Have reported it. They're sending someone out. Thanks. I guess we'll see if anything happens. cant believe any qualified workmen would do a half job.

I moved into a housing association property, purpose built 1950's red brick flats with a neighbour adjacent and shared entry/balcony leading to each property's front door. The front of the properties is where the boilers are situated (within the kitchens) so that the flue comes out from the...
