One from a few months back. Install a few weeks old. Custard complained boiler not working properly, warranty company attended said system needed flush, vent wrong. I attended system perfectly clean, boiler locking out due to condense rising to soil under bath. Saw 2 bends above boiler (worcester so 2m equivalent each) with vertical flue. Checking in loft revealed another 2 45s, no screws on joints, insufficient brackets. Max vertical on a worcester is 6.4, this was equivalent t oabout 9.5 in total. Made even worse when I touched the flue in the airing cupboard and the flue fell apart. ID boiler spend rest of day chasing flue parts and re-doing to give correct length.

DIY attempt at balancing one pipe system.

F&E cistern set too high so modded to let OV into side, unsurprisingly pumping over like mad.

Flue set at such a steep angle that it was straining the elbow. Flue should have been set horizontal. Looked like it was done because the flue hole was drilled too high.
