I've just turned a boiler off yesterday due to an escape but noticed the flue passed through the ceiling and into the flat upstairs.
Now I know that this is allowed in existing installations prior to 2010 but this is only a few months old. It's slightly complicated in that the building is an assisted living complex so I don't know whether there are any exceptions?
I also noticed that there was a fire collar around the flue which strikes me as very odd because surely you risk crushing the flue if it gets hot?
After having a chat with the building manager it would every boiler in the complex is installed this way?
I'm a gas Safe engineer but want some advice please? Gas Safe have told me it shouldn't so I've issued an At Risk to the flats I gained access to .....but I'm still a little unsure.
