Although neighbours should not have touched either boiler, there was a pensioner took to court in scotland for doing this.
The fact is the new boiler should not be fitted where it is and then the neighbours could not touch it . It has not been installed to regulations and is an installer fault
Gasman1965 told ya it was a new one na na na na

Your flue was in his property, trespassing. The flue was modified correctly/incorrectly, that can not be proven. No one has been injured or died from the work and it is going to be nigh on impossible to prove that someone may have been injured or killed as a result of actions.
It's difficult to see the exact effect on the boiler but since the boiler appears to be "room sealed" it would probably pose little real danger. It's not an uncommon scenario. The worst case would be severe vitiation leading to combustion failure and perhaps some overheating.
Manufacturers will be required to test their boilers with all sorts of items connected or lodged within the flue (eg birds, plastic bags, expanding foam, ivy) and ensure they remain safe within the property.
Since there is no longer any evidence (the images are useless) the HSE would not even entertain the case.
Your only dispute would be with the "lean to" shed and possible damage to the wall as a result.

The new boiler is sited elsewhere. This is the original site of the flue, which simply protruded from the wall a short way. While issues of trespass are part of the problem and the boiler should perhaps not have been located where it was, the fact remains that they enclosed the flue and then *modified* it after the case was in the hands of solicitors. I really need to know which regulations to quote and how to get this point across effectively. I know the modification should not have been carried out - I just need to know how to argue this point.
The issue of trespass is separate from the issue of safety.

OK why where solicitors involved at this point.

Didnt you say a BG inspector visited ?
If a new boiler and flue has been installed in another legal location, the old boiler and flue been discarded, it seems to me like "closing the door after the horse has bolted".
I think you should have involved corgi/hse when the actual flue and boiler were in operation.
Bit late now.
Personally with regards the boiler/flue i'd let it go, but if it were my property I sure would not have their a shed bolted on to my wall.

Have you contacted both BG and Transco to see what they have ?
