OK Gas & Heating Engineers of the SMB....need your advice.
Bought flat in 2017 (Bryant Homes built in 2006)
Has the same boiler in since built- no issues. Works fine.
Serviced before we bought- no issues raised.
We are now looking to sell and engineer has said boiler is fine, but flue is too close to opening window.
He has stated new boiler required.
I measured the flue today, it is 280mm from the window (minimum 300mm). Replacing an entire functioning boiler for 20mm seems a bit OTT.
My question is:
The boiler was installed in 2007 before 2008 regulations- do they apply to it now?
If so, can we not just put a flue diverter on to take it 300mm away from the nearest opening?
