An interesting condensing flue - would appreciate comments of any kind

We have a managing agent.

Our directors (preprestenting the owners collective) instruct the agents to obtain quotes for any maintenance to joint areas and then our directors make the final choice

Anything that it connected to an apartment but will impact the communal areas (such as a boiler flue) The owner need to inform the managing agent of the plans who is undertaking the work this information is given to the directors for reference. It should be at this time that I personally would be asking for positioning diagrams. But this doesn't happen. Questions are only raised after the work has been done which normally causes more costs to the apartment owners

Cowboys comes to mind!

I've seen this bloke's work before, and the flue in the op is one of his better efforts. Maybe it should be nominated for a Turner prize.

He'll get a flue in where others wouldn't even try. It does get worse - see below.

What goes through peoples' minds when they plan to do that?

Better put a Guard over the flue, otherswise it wouldn't be compliant...

I know what should go through their minds and that's a Core drill.

I admire the well executed 'trickle vent' at the top of the window.

Speechless.

People like this should be banned to install gas appliances. They should be re taking the gas course. What comes into my mind is why would you do it even though you know it's wrong and not to regs

Could be worse

That's the problem with a cooperative. I.e. Tennants, running the maintenance. They have no idea what is the correct way to install.
As above , the boxings are ok , but need purpose designed access hatches. These are cheap and easy to open. I can't see any service engineer ( even though they should) taking a load of rusty screws to inspect.

On the subject of dodgy flues, how’s this for lazy?!

 

[plumbandplumber]

Perhaps he couldn't get the matching bricks?

 

[Harvest Fields]

Maybe there is one boiler for upstairs and one for down?

Forget retaking their test. Band for all eternity!

 

[sammathias]

Banned"

 

[king of pipes]

Chill out bud totally agree with you but you will bust a blood vessel if you carry on ha ha . kop

 

[jwintermedia]

Third attempt at the flue!

 

[snowhead]

That's not even an attempt.

Verb , make an effort to achieve or complete (something difficult).

Just a reminder how it was.
