Boiler condense pipe?

[jonnyswamp]

If it's upstairs, pump it into attic then out through eaves and into the soil pipe
Far easier and cheaper than pulling floors and drilling walls to get to a rear drain

Unfortunately there's not a single drain at the front of the house, just a rain water pipe that terminates above ground into the front lawn.

Can't you fit a condensafe to neutralise the acidity and run it into the rainwater stack at the front?

The stack at the front doesn't go to a drain, it just disperses on to the floor.

Is there regulation the prohibits it exiting externally, even if its been neutralised?

I'm unsure to be honest.

I think a soakaway is your best option - see page 13 & 17: http://www.idhee.org.uk/ExceptionsGuide.pdf

Is there a maximum length for condense pipe run internally ??

As far as I can see, only the limitation applies to externally run pipes. As long as there is a fall or a pump you should be fine indoors. If you're gonna run it through the loft I'd lag the pipe though.. Although, this document says any unheated space you have the 3m limit.. A loft is considered unheated isn't it?

I'm just thinking if it's possible to go underfloor and down to the kitchen, although I don't think it's possible.

Plant pot with lime chippings, but ask your local water board if they are ok with it, had same problem no drainage & concrete yard, been there for 4 years no problem.
