Hi,
Hoping someone here can offer some advice, just registered to ask this question so can't offer anything meaningful to the forum myself!
Just had a gas engineer out (gas safe) and we've got an issue with our combi boiler where the wrong flue has been installed on it and it has melted because of the heat. I live in a managed block of flats but own the flat. The flat is just under 10 years old and the boiler was installed with it.
Also, the engineer said that there were no structural supports installed with the wrong flue, so when it has melted it has collapsed back in on itself. Got a feeling but not 100% sure that it was installed by a builder rather than engineer & next step is to find out if they are gas safe or not.
Basically I'm trying to find out if it's illegal or just bad practice to install the wrong kind of flue. because we live in top floor flat we'll need scaf. and quite a bit of time so probably looking quite expensive.
If anyone could guide me at all (going to speak to gas safe tomorrow and see if they can do an inspection) it would be greatly apprecaited.
Many thanks.
Mark
