Present day regs

[cheshireblue12]

My non condensing boiler flue presently discharges from the boiler through a gable wall to atmosphere at approx 1.8m height over a footpath. The flue has a cage grill fitted.
I don't want to move the position of the boiler when I upgrade to a new condensing combi. Will the position of this flue satisfy current regs.

Thanks in advance.

Do you own the footpath or is it a public footpath?

The footpath is a public pavement on a side road.

So the existing boiler is ok in its current position but if I upgrade I will have to relocate or change the boiler flue position ?

old boiler wasnt right either though 1000's are fitted like that and nothing done about it

Wouldn't say the old one is alright. But the new one must be fitted correctly.

I would just fit it there and take a chance. Someone would have to make a complaint. What about the condense though ?

Thought of installing a condensate pump to pump condensate to foul drain, not sure its worth the risk in keeping the flue in the same position even if a gas safe engineer would fit it.
