Hi all,
My neighbour is concerned about the location of the flue from my boiler as he believes there is a chance that carbon monoxide may enter through his bedroom window. The boiler was installed circa 1996 and is a wall hung Ideal Classic FF260 with a fan assisted flue. The boiler was inspected last year, the engineer did a visual inspection of the flue but didn't raise any concerns.

My questions are:
Is it unsafe / is there anything I can do to satisfy my neighbour that it is?
If it is unsafe, do I have any options to remedy the situation other than installing a new boiler? e.g. additional duct work.
I'm not Gas Safe Registered and will be getting a Gas Safe registered engineer to carry out any work!
thanks,
J
