ADVICE PLEASE MINIMUM CLEARANCE ON A COMBI FLUE

[S.P.S.]

I don’t think any of us could reasonably say if there’s anything further to be concerned about with the install. It looks reasonable inside, as you can’t see much in the way of pipework.

The holes in the wall are obviously not on.

If I were you I’d get a new heating engineer who can give the system a thorough check if you are still concerned. System water condition is one thing that should be checked.

@scott_d intergas and ideal flues look the same, but I couldn’t say if they are the same, I’ve never compared the two side my side!

It would be interesting to see the inside install, but I don’t think the OP will want even more criticism to worry about!!

Do they allow white on show externally?

Thank you to all who have responded. It’s good to know is looks safe if not good workmanship.

Very Much appreciated
Have a good weekend

The flue is'ant sealed around as the products of combustion can get into the loft can't be passable surely

Good point, I can’t answer that, we all know Ideals aren’t allowed it! @scott_d

That isn’t an issue per say, the plume is directed past any over hangs/protrusions that could effect the clearance of flue products. You could quite acceptably have a vented soffit board running right the way across. Most eaves are ventilated in some manner.

Before you all carry on casting judgement, just bear in mind that you’ve no idea how much the job cost to install and what was agreed before the job commenced.

Agreed on the bricking up/making good
But it needs to meet regs and I think thats what everyone else was concerned with

The picture of the pressure relief could be deceiving and actually very slightly aim towards the wall. The cut out of the fascia is due to the height of the boiler being mounted so high and that’s been done to due to making up the hole on the day of install, so the bracket has been fixed just above the square hole. But the flue meets regs, so nowt more to see here.

And as I posted previously, we don’t know the cost or verbal contract between either the homeowner or landlord.
