Flue dripping from exhaust and from air intake.

[SimonG]

You are a tenant so it's basically nothing to do with you. If your neighbour wanted access they would approach your landlord or worst case go to court to gain access. Bottom line is you are not in a position to stop them.

Go buy yourself a flue gas analyser and take readings at your window.

However I would recommend directing your frustrations at something you are able to influence. Lifes too short.

I get the point Riley. The boiler meets specs. The facts on the ground are the plumes does not disperse as it used to. I will defo let you know the outcome with engineer.
Have you anything to say about the neighbours flue not being properly upright due to a too short upper bracket. The elbow joint does not look like it's meant to take the strain and the outer seal to the wall is distorted because the top is bent in and the bottom is being pulled out showing the whole fixture is being pulled up because the flue extension is acting like a lever. IMHO this looks like the integrity of the joint has been jeopardised and that is where the leak of condensate from the air intake is coming from. I guess after so long the components would be classed as unfit for purpose and require attention including a longer upper bracket and the exhaust elbows and seals would need to replaced.
The Installer should have not made this mistake and if the flue had been in a positon where it was readily accessible for inspection and maintenance (Reg28) the problem could have been identified and fixed a long time ago. I suppose that's why good old reg28 was made. It's OK I understand you do not critisize fellow engineers and don't miss an opportunity to critisize anyone who does (I am refering to others comments about me not yours, some quite harse) but when such a blatantly bad job is done then it really aught to be a matter for a website devoted to a well respected profession to do something or say something as it reflects on you all when cowboys are out there.

We can and often doo criticise other engineers. Move on

But you are coming across a proper bell and you now need to move on.

Your going round in circles.
You have been on to the council and they have sent you packing. Move on.

You have no practical appreciation of what you are talking about and you can read the regs till your blue the face but it wont change what you have already been told. Move on.

Young and needed the work, there's a few on here like that

The flue is readily accessible.

Done to death now.
