Around 3 years ago, an engineer who was used to work for us installed this boiler. The flue was in my opinion too close to the internal corner of the house but he told me it was fine, I was training for my gas at the time so who was I to argue. You'll see from the pic there is also a window there which at the time of install wasn't openable. The customer around 2 years ago had new Windows fitted, hence the openable window now in the pic. The embarassing bit is my company also installed the windows :oops: (theu did not consult me about the window distance from the boiler). Customer has now complained as they've had someone round to service the boiler who told them if he touched it he would condemn it (and rightly so). Easiest option I can think of fixing this would be a plume kit to 45° it away from the house, elbow up and back out above the gutters. Anyone see an issue with this? I would only realistically be able to get one clip on it though so would that be enough support?

Spoke to vaillant, a plume kit would be fine for taking flue gasses away from the window but the air intake would still be too close to an internal corner so only option is a vertical flue :(
