The sketch was from a Manufacturer's Instructions, it seems there is a genetic sketch which all manufactures use

No they are the ones where he wanted to turn it back on because BG hadnt picked up on it

Ah I see .... glad to hear that then ... though as Ian says it would be interesting to see how it's has now been made compliant.

I then asked another gas engineer to come round. He identified that the flue pipe wasn't sealed around the wall , hence CO gas was coming back inside. He sealed it, did some tests and gave the all clear.

Does getting the "all clear" mean the same as "compliant" ?

Did this latest ( GasSafe registered ? ) gas engineer uncap the gas supply and re-instate the boiler ?

I’d be sceptical if he was gas safe did you check his credentials before letting
him start work. Bob

He said he was and was recommended highly by a family friend.
The end of this story is I cannot install a plume extension kit as these are all plastic these days. I cannot find a metal one anywhere.
I have cut a part of the roof to allow for extra space around the flue pipe.
