Boiler installer left old flue hole open

[fixitflav]

Does not look like much of a fall on condense pipe, no clips or insulation as per regs

You beat me to it! It would have been just as easy to give it a decent fall. But the sleeve on the flue, and the filled hole look nice.

no clips

Hopefully, the photo was the unfinished job, with clips still to be fitted. If that pipe fills with water, the sheer weight pull it down.

That flue, on the floor below, looks awfully close to the window directly above it.

They seem to have come back today to finish the work. Does this now look compliant with regulations and a decent enough job (leaving aside the issue of distance between the flue and window)? Perhaps @CountryFan @Harry Bloomfield . Thanks again for your perspectives.

Well, the hole is fine. Did you ask about the distance from the soffit ventilation? The condensate pipe isn't insulated either.
