Hi Jeremy,
Again, this doesn't quite cover it as far as I can see; there is no corner because this flue is in an upstairs bedroom, nearly 20 feet from the ground. It's at the back, and it's a Victorian terrace where each neighbour is the mirror image of the other - so imagine a 20 foot wide structure protruding from the rear of the "main" terrace; we have one half, and the neighbour has the other. If the boiler was downstairs in the kitchen, then there would be a wall and fence forming a corner on our boundary. Here, up in the air, the boundary is "virtual"
Yes, completely agree on every count
Thanks,
Mark

Quote:All in all, you are right not to worry - if you watch how most professional Gas Safe-registered engineers ignore their **legal** obligations with respect to working on open gas ways, a possible, theoretical non- compliance with an obscure clause buried in the approved documents is not even worth giving a second thought to.
Yes, completely agree on every count
