i went to an old house yesterday to do a landlord certificate, the boiler is an Ideal RS40S in a first floor bedroom cupboard, RS, natural draught, checked everything fine, it is old but still working well, the only thing is the flue terminal, the direct distance between the flue terminal and the window is only 280mm at the left downside of the window, when i stood by the window i felt strongly the smell from the boiler, checked the book the distance should be minimum 600mm, so i turned off the boiler and gave the guy a 'at risk' notice, he was not happy and argued that it had been there for 15 years, but i feel i have done the right thing,
also is there anyway to correct the flue terminal? can i buy the flue from Ideal and extend the flue to above roof level?
cheers in advance
