Is it permissible for a flue to discharge across a neighbouring property? I thought it was outlawed a while back?
Next-door neighbour had a new (Vaillant combi) boiler fitted last week. The new flue exits their side wall (which forms the boundary between our properties) turns up to about 12 feet and has a 90deg elbow at the top which is angled at about 35 degrees to their wall (so it's not firing directly at my wall).
The gap between our houses is roughly a metre and forms the access to my garden. The walls are the side walls of both our single storey 'garage with utility behind', topped by a standard pitched roof. The terminal is quite near their apex, but due to a difference in height between our properties, does seem to be aimed nicely at my (uPVC) fascias.... (and as you can imagine with the cr*p weather we've been having today, the plume has been quite prominent).
Should I be concerned about this? To whom would I complain, CORGI? Building Control? (and risk it becoming 'a dispute' which would need to be disclosed at some future sale).
I know it's not DIY and I know you're not lawyers, but there are some knowledgeable folk on here and I would welcome any comments.
In any case, it's better than the original, which fired straight out of their wall across my utility window and back door....
