    We’ve been told our builder hasn’t put the flu in right. Where can I find out if he has or not to check it?

    Look for your nearest HETAS installer who can inspect it. All boiler flues should be a HETAS approved installation I thought.

    You could have a go at diagnosing some issues from the building regs if you like (NB regs arent the same as hetas guidelines):

    what’s he not done “right” then and who told you?

    another builder told us that the outlet/flu goes out onto a neighbours land and so either needs re-routing or extending up the building further.

    see page 43 of the regs, table 3.4 and table 4.2

    The op dose not mention solid fuel Stoner, this could be a gas boiler issue?

    If this is a solid fuel boiler Part J of the building regs I think. Hetas is only needed for self certification. The other builder may use building control.

    Probably just needs a plume management kit. What model boiler is it?

    building control restrictions still apply to gas flue locations at boundaries.

    600mm horizontally from boundary edge rings a bell. can be taken up the face of the building but there’s normally a maximum length of flue run
