If you read my whole thread you'd see it wasn't going to originally go there, neighbour wanted to site it within my patio.boundary, until I intervened and spoke to plumber about it contravening building regs..... ! The fact he seemed pretty clueless made me wary about it being a legit...

http://www.diynot.com/network/KTL/albums/ Hopefully uploaded 3 pics of flue. They've inserted it through some kind of grille tile which I think was already on the wall, and slapped concrete over it to cover up holes. Is this safe???

Me again! .. Funny you should say about this being a moody job and not 'on the books' ... When I spotted the van of the plumber who came around last week to meet with her re fitting, also spotted company name of company emblazoned on it. When I then subsequently found out from her she...

sorry just spotted a typo in last post - her window is between her re-sited flue and my patio and back door, not bungalow!

Hi Only just picked up additional messages since my last post on Saturday. I will get a pic of re-sited flue tomorrow and post it. It is still a worry if wind blows my way... but then again her kitchen window is between my door and bungalow, so if I get the plume, so will she I reckon...

They don't have to use a management kit do they? They certainly haven't done so - flue is sticking out vertically from neighbours kitchen wall.. I am hoping its now far enough away for it not to cause me an issue but difficult to tell as won't know until its up and running. If it does, I...

Bizarrely they are registered!

I had a look at Gas safe reg site to see if I could check them out, but don't know their ID number which seems only way to do it. Yes even now flue has moved I shall certainly be v mindful of potential for pluming coming towards my patio !

Just a quick postscript. Thought I'd just look on some website reviews for the contractors my neighbour is using, lots of very negative reviews, allegations of them being cowboys - one poor guy even had his credit card used fraudulently having used it to pay for a previous boiler repair which...

Copy of email sent to neighbour : Dear xxx It is a shame you are unable to attend the mediation meeting which I suggested to xxx would be a good idea to arrange, since I felt this would be the most amicable way to sit down and discuss the situation and look at alternative solutions to...

Update on the problem re flue. As neighbour had declined to attend a mediation meeting as was too busy on Sat (in hindsight I now know why!) and Prop Manager being a bit flaky about it all, I decided it would be best to take advice on board and write a letter to my neighbour outlining all...

Latest missive from neighbour to Prop Manager in response to him advising her of enforcement of building regs if she proceeds to site flue where she wants to : "Dear xxx your comment is unhelpful and erroneous as Building Regs do not apply in this situation. This is copied from the...

Hi Going on recent posts, so it IS subject to some kind of Party Wall arrangement after all? In which case, id be grateful if anyone can tell what are neighbour's obligations to me with regards using it to site a flue?

Neighbour has now been informed by Prop Management of the potential breach of building regulations and enforcement if no mutual agreement is arrived at about repositioning the flue the correct distance away from my boundary I just hope she now sees sense.

Its the blatant riding roughshod over my rights/property that really riles me, absolutely no respect at all. Ironically, her property is the only one in the complex where planning permission was sought for the construction of a rather large conservatory (& agreed to by all us sucker...

lol yes I am aware of the use and terminology of 'without prejudice' I was just musing on the irony of the term, given the content of her email clearly showing very much prejudicial reasons why she wants to site flue where she's trying to ie. she thinks this will add grist to her argument to...

Yes I agree doc J is the strongest ruling against her actions, I was merely pointing out earlier that this is not the only consideration, since there is also the trespass issue and also possibly contravening lease clause re my quiet enjoyment of my property, over and above concerning H&S issues...

The wall between the 2 windows is where she is proposing to site the flue (bold white chalk mark), ie on a party wall...

My neighbour reallly isn't getting it! She emailed to Prop Management below..... following her decline to attend a mediation meeting.. The point is even if I never ever get planning permission approved, the flue is still not going to spout out its noxious fumes and plumes into my patio area, on...

The only thing is as I work full time chances are installation happens when I'm not at home, I'll only get to see it after the event!
