Gap around the hole flue exit

[K1100490]

Hello there

Quick question: I have installed a new boiler today. The engineer is foing ro back tomorrow.

The boiler is in the conservatory mounted on the wall. The flue pipes exit from top of the boiler through a round hole to outside the house.

There is a big gap around the hole and wondering if this is how it should be or should I ask him to plug the gap?

Also he has installed the gas pipe (gas meter to boiler) outside the house. Should I ask him to insulate or any put something on to protect from any kind of damage?

Thank you.

Gas pipes dont need insulation, just clipped and secure

Thanks all.

Just waiting for the engineer to turn up now.

I haven't been outside yet to see how it looks - but I can see neighbours house through the hole from mine!
I will flag that up with him.

Also I have noticed there is water on the floor boards under the kitchen sink. This only started yesterday. The cabinet does not have leak in it so I am not sure what he did yesterday for this leak to appear - Any ideas?

Thank you

Thanks all,

I am waiting for the engineer to turn up.

I haven't been outside yet but I can see the neighbors house from inside and will flag that with him.

Also I have noticed there is a leak under the kitchen sink and only started yesterday. There is no water within the cabinet itself so I am not sure where the leak is coming from. Any ideas?
