You obviously forget how a T&P relief valve operates.............are you registered to fit unvented? (G3)

At the very least, could it not have made use of that drain at the bottom, rather than risk turning the planting into boiled cabbage...?
And if indeed the installer hasn't 'made good' the brickwork; that issue should probably be raised. If only to prevent water ingress and associated problems.

In which case you would have thought that the flat above would emulate this layout and thus would have a drain point easily accessible. If this is the case it seems the 'solution' is a bit lazy to me.

Yes, that was not totally correct.
If the pressure was normal and the valve had operated because the temperature had reached 95C then it would probably vent about 20% of its capacity.
Because of the way the heated water convects to the top it will only be the upper part of the cylinder which is at the 95C to open the safety valve so as soon as the slightly cooler water below reaches the valve then it will close again.
The reality is that a properly installed cylinder never reaches an unsafe temperature and the only time any water might be discharged would be when or if the expansion device does not adsorb the expansion during heatup when no water is being used.
Apart from the Megaflow when that can occur, on other makes which are correctly serviced each year it would not normally ever happen.

So you're saying a T&P valve will only operate when water temp exceeds 95k?.................are you forgetting the pressure side of valve? , if inlet water pressure exceeds set point of T&P the whole contents of hot water tank 'could' be discharged.........are you registered to fit unvented hot water cylinders?

And does it really matter? The internal installation is the concern of the other tenant, the only issues I would raise if I lived there are regarding the appearance, the hole, and the end / drain.
I like the way he's put extra clips in the middle bit, cos he didn't have a long enough ladder to get to the top bit.

probably the condense pipe
Why?
If itis a condense pipe, and the upper and mid flats are laid out the same, as you would expect, then it could have been internal.
