Must balanced flue inner and outer be the same length?

Should never really be coming out so close to your neighbour. Plume management kit does alleviate some of the nuisance. Poor planning. Why can’t it go up through the extension roof. Would love some pics. And also don’t box it in without inspection hatches. I don’t believe a gas engineer would run it like that given the choice. Seems like builder playing gas man to me. Don’t wait until it’s all finished before you get it checked

Gas engineer would have moved the boiler.

Can't see why it should cause the boiler to shut down if it's the boiler manufacturers part specific for that boiler.

If however if it's solvent waste pipe and bends, then ???

There should never have been any attempt to fit the flue facing the neighbour if it's so close to the boundary, suggesting it's not been planned by a GSR.

The boiler was existing and the extension has been built over the original flue I'd guess?

@Riley You mention the flue been too close to the neighbours property, but am I right in saying you shouldn't terminate the flue within 600mm of the boundary which it looks to me like it is.

Personally this whole thread seems sketchy and I don't think any advise should be given other than to get a competent enginner in to sort it.

Quite agree mate sorry I was being deliberately woolly as I don’t want to feed whoever is bodging it the right answer

Thanks for your comments everyone. We are insisting on a registered fitter to sort it out.

Good, if it's one the builder is employing then ask to see his gas safe I.D card and check his details online. By what you've posted here I would have lost all trust in the builder you are using.
