i have quoted to install a combi for combi swap but the old flue terminates on someone elses boundary and its gonna be a right pain to have it any other way, just checked in the worcester instructions and it says unless it will be a nuisence it needs to be 600mm clearence does this mean cos its gonna be a nuisence i can terminate it in the same position lol if not im gonna have lots of wrk to move it, any help would be great
 
I dont quiet understand the position of the flue tbh ,can you not use a plume kit to over come this problem ?
 
It'll be alright until the neighbours fall out and he hammers it flat. :)

Seriously though I wouldn't have somebody elses flue terminating onto my property, especially a steamer.

Come across it on oil jobs where we have had to move boiler position to avoid it.

i think you're out of luck on this one.
if my neighbours condensing boiler was pluming all over the wall of my new extension I'd think this was a nuisance !
 
Correct me if I'm wrong it the distance not 2000mm from terminal to boundry?
 
fair enough guys looks like im gonna have to do some work
 
its 2m, but you can get away with 600mm if it will not cause a nuisence with most manufactures. I guess it depends on the neighbours view of what a nuisence is?
 
Most manufacturers state 600mm when facing or 300mm from the side of the flue to the boundary when its at 90 degrees to the boundary, if that makes sense.
 
Just done a job for a builder who built a extension on the old garage plot , next door flue is on there garage wall . Hanging over the owners plot . They can't leave back door open when next doors boiler kicks in ,as fumes go in house , GAS SAFE said can't help .speak to envioment Health
 
Viper book e-51 terminal position and boundaries. Had the same myself when putting in a combi. Was 1.5m away but common sense kicks and in and I got a plume kit!. BS states 600mm. For disputes they consider 2.5m
 
I'd speak to the home owner and the neighbour first. If it were my house, i wouldnt have any intrusion on my property or boundaries..<steps up with can of spray foam and fills flue terminal>
 
Had same issue a while back. Checked with then CORGI who clearly said NO! As flue is not close to but over the neighbour's boundary. Check out boilers that can run separate 2" mupvc flue & air intakes. You get a really long run & it might be easier to route through a house.
