My God, that's brilliant in the worst possible way. I think someone has been watching too much Blue Peter, surprised there aint some toilet roll tubes and double sided tape on it.

As LP said, you need to cover your back fella. If you were the last person to check/inspect it and then something happened to the owner, the excuse of not having the MI to hand would not cover your back. A quick call to Baxi tech would have given you the info or even a call to GSR may of helped.

I love the fact they've still used the black rubber collar. Such conscientious workers!

That looks like a prize winning pic to me.

if its a main eco 24 he its a band b condensing version based on the baxi 105 he,the flue is the same as a band a baxi duotec 1 thats wildly available

the only things i see wrong are the horizontal section needs shortening and the flashing could leak and needs some self tappers putting in. looks naff but ID ?

If only they had left the bricks stacked as a support !
