Independent. It was the first person I could find that would come out at short notice.

It’s not under warranty. I think it was 8 or 10 years and it was fitted 13 (I think) years ago. I may get someone else out to have a look as I do need the paperwork for the insurance so will hope someone else can just make the note about the flue but give a receipt and that should be it. I’m...

Sorry, I misunderstood that bit. Sounds like he should have given me some paperwork and just made a note about the flue then surely?

And just to add, even if I block it up won’t it still be too close to the internal corner so I’ll need to divert it away? It’s really not an option to move the boiler completely

Would the minimum distance still apply as they are exiting the wall adjacent to each other? Extractors that don’t vent externally are pretty much useless so I’d really prefer it if there was a way round it. And by blocking it up, does a cap count as a temporary measure until I can brick it up...

Another photo so you can see where the window is above too. Is there a way to fit an extension kit to this?

I can block up the extractor hole if that’s the only way round it but I would prefer it if there was another way round it as it’s quite useful having one that vents outside instead of the charcoal things. Also, if I was to do that, could I just cap the hole for now to get it approved until I...

it’s a Vailant Ecotec Plus 824. What is the issue with the white? Should that be cut back to the wall level? If so, I don’t understand why he didn’t do that at the time (ignoring the extractor being installed afterwards) Just checked and to the centre of the flue, it’s 30cm away from next door...

Better picture now it’s light

I’ve googled POC. I assume that’s been tested as part of previous services and it’s never been flagged. I’m not really sure what they actually do as part of the service though as I just leave them to it. The boxing in is quite restrictive and with the extractor duct running in front of the flue...

No quite sure what those numbers things are but he said it was fine but he wasn’t comfortable it was to regs because the distance between them on one plane was well below the 30cm(I think) minimum. It’s been discussed before as being not the best installation but they’ve been comfortable as the...

Not the best photo in the dark…

Hi All. I had my boiler fitted in my kitchen cupboard 10+ years ago and also the extractor. Since there was no other place to vent the extractor, the plumber didn’t cut the flue back to the wall in order to maintain a 30cm distance from the opening. They are petty much next to each other coming...

Thanks. I’m tempted to try a 92.5 angle connection and then either a rigid or flexi horizontal into the pan. I think I might lose some height as the flexi is quite a sweeping bend and is taking up a lot of space at the moment

Thanks. To confirm, can I grind some of the collar off so as to connect to the pipe lower down and therefore (hopefully) be able to fit to the toilet with the correct fall? If I get a rigid 90 degree fitting then the bend takes up less space and it would be almost horizontal to the toilet so I...

Hi All. Im hoping someone can advise me on how I can fit my toilet and waste to the old vertical soil pipe in the floor. I need to also fit my bath and basin waste into the soil pipe as there is no easy accessible drain. The problem is the collar on the old pipe (is it clay or something else?)...

I'm not too confident in my ability to rip down such a thin strip without a proper table saw. Seems like it would be tricky with a circular or handsaw? I've attached a photo one that ive done so far. It's a bit blurry but hopefully you get the gist of it. It probably would have been better if...

Hi All. I'm hoping someone can advise the best way to go deal with fitting architraves when one side of the door opening is very tight to the wall. It is the same throughout the house and it's probably 2-3cm max. I've had to fit strip wood to the door liners to bring it out level with the...

I was going to use it for the architrave and then I have a bit of fencing to make (half a panel) and fix a few loose panels on my shed so not sure that’s enough reason to spend £300+? If the £100 models are useless then a hammer it is!

Thanks. I should have done a search before as I can see this sort of question has come up several times and the answer always seems to be that the cheaper models aren’t much good and u don’t fancy paying £300+ for one so on that basis I’ll just make do! Just seemed like it would save me a lot...
