Our neighbour had a boiler installed about 4 years ago. The images above are from our bedroom, looking across our flat garage roof, to the neighbours flue protruding from their wall. The distance from our window to their wall is 2.6 metres. Our window opens at the top (transom type).
We have recently started to use this room, and have noticed that with the wind in a certain direction and the window open, you sometimes get a waft of fumes from the flue. It doesn't fill the room, but when it happens you can smell it if you are witin a couple of feet of the window.
Can anyone tell me if this flue is positioned in accordance with the regulations. Is it right for a flue to discharge over someone else's property.
I would appreciate any advice on ways of rectifying this.
Many thanks
