The op wants to think himself lucky they didnt fit a vertical flue.
Im sure he'd be complaining about that even more ??

I hope the landlord never landscapes the garden..
A vertical flue would have to be in the neighbours roof so why would that be considered lucky for me they didn't do that? I'd love for them to do that.
My landlord has no authority to do anything in my garden it would be a breach of contract. Just the same as allowing a flue to be in it. So funny enough a vertical flue would have kept them out the trouble they are in.
 
Because a Vertical flue would be discharging the fumes in the same area!
And like you say would be perfectly ok, thats why he said you were lucky.
TBH I dont think you are going to get the answer you want in this case, especially as the landlord, the owner of the property gave his permission for the flue to be on his property.
 
You seem to be under the false impression I am asserting my flue does not meet regs. I have only referred to the neighbours flue meeting regs.
 
You dont use your boiler because in your opinion the fumes do not disperse, what I was trying to point out to you is that the fumes should be getting away correctly because your flue meets the regs and has been designed to work where it is.
 
In post 48 i actualy stated "And yes I have complained about my flue but it is apparently within the legal requirements so I have to live with it".
 
I feel sorry for the GSR person you get in, walking into a can of worms.
You also state in post 67 that they could give you advise to get your flue to work correctly, which you have already been told is correct!!!

Because the plume would be worse for you
 
0304 Driver. I don't get it. Sympathy for GSR person and walking into a can of worms sounds a bit emotive. Surely the GSR inspector will be a expert who examines the situation and makes a professional report based on his skill and knowledge. I certainly hope so or they will get a can worms freshly dug from my garden (that's meant as a joke by the way)
 
I think all they are trying to get out mate is that you won't be convinced you've had at least 10 of us on here telling you certain things which are just questioned constantly. If your boiler is installed to manufacturers instructions it will work and fumes will disperse safely. Really you just have to trust the manufacturers on their design as manufacturers instructions are gospel
 
All I am trying to get out is the flue doesn't disperse whatever may be printed on paper and I have accepted I can't change it so I live with it. I know it sounds extraordinary someone would accept never switching their central heating on and my integrity is being questioned on here so that's why I uploaded proof. I just don't use my gas boiler any more. I've dealt with it. Maybe there's a solution which someone on here could provide or a GS engineer can provide e.g. a diversion kit or a refence to a breach of regs and then I can switch it on again which would be great. As it stands it's not in use. That's my choice albeit reluctant. As I've said an an engineer is being organised so we'll see how that pans out.
Cheers Riley
