Hello
Questions about finishing.
Mother-in-law, in late 60's had a new boiler fitted replacing 1970's one.
generally seems a good install, but where old boiler fle existed at knee height there is now a big hole, with the condensate pipe running through it balanced on a few bricks. Also there was a metal vent high up, (previously air into old boiler?) which the new flu runs out of.
see attached photos.
when i had a very brief call to plumber he said wasn't in his quote and we needed to get a builder in to brick up both holes.
1) is this normal - not making good after a new install. (would you not even mention it?
2) is it actually against the regs as couldn't the flu gases come straight back into the house?
Thoughts and comments please.
