I know - but as I say, building control won't act: it's over two years since it was fitted.

I fully sympathise with the installer in this case; it's the neighbour who is a PITA: I was plastering the back door reveal the day the fitter was talking to him and heard him say "...your neighbour might well complain, if I don't fit one..." I'm assuming he meant a PMK, since I can't think of...

It is a vertical pipe - but as you can see, the branch is also close, but fair enough - failing that, as you say, phoning Glow Worm might be the best bet. Now I know why gas fitters are always saying flueing is a nightmare...

Ok Dan - got that. MI's only overrule Part J (25mm) in their case, where a plume management kit is fitted - otherwise it's 150mm. (I'd post a link to the PDF but mightn't do it right...) So what is the reason for the 150mm distance given in Part J? There must be one...

Thanks, but as I said at the outset: that's what I want him to do, is reasonable, quite feasible, sensible and would solve the problem. It's also what he refuses to do.

"Don't why people can't post decent pictures/links:" Well thank you for pointing that out - but the site doesn't show how to, and since this is my first post I have no experience. Try it - click 'help' and click on the advice on how to include a picture. If you can find it. Now -...

I'm posting this in the hope that someone (and preferably a Gas Safe registered/retired installer) can throw some light on. It's the usual 'My neighbour has installed a condensing boiler and the fumes from the flue are entering my house...' chestnut, I know - but there is a complication: the...

I'm a joiner with experience in the damp and timber treatment side of things (10yrs in that game!) and just about everything that's been advised is bang on. Safeguard chemicals are fine (we used them for a while,) as are Sovereign (but a bit pricey.) The bit about drilling down at 45 degrees and...
