Neighbour's boiler vent exhausts near/under my window

J. · 2007-01-26T12:49:40+00:00

Recently my neighbour downstairs has been renovating their flat and putup a new vent for their boiler. You may see the picture here: you can see, the vent (white pipe) is quite close to my window whichopens downwards. When I open the kitchen window, I can smell unburntfuel in it, as well as see the vapour blow into my flat.I have contacted my neighbour about the problem but he is unwilling toaccept it is a problem.I then contacted Environmental Health of Camden council and they areunwilling to assist, saying that this is a private dispute between twoowners of the property (I own the upstairs flat, they own thedownstairs flat). This is despite me telling them that life may be atrisk due to the carbon monoxide from the fumes.I do not know who else to contact and desperately need some advice.

The flexibility of the flue determines the boiler choice. 100mm can be used on smaller boilers.

So could 250mm underground drainage pipe with a suitable adaptor. Whether it is likely is another matter.

Matt, it was clear enough.

Cost.

Ask transco or the HSE. You've been complaining about it for days now. If there were bad fumes coming out you'd be dead and quiet by now. Get on with the process of sorting it out.
