It probably said don't stick a flue under a window or words to that affect and also something about don't let numpties fit it.

probably Tamz, but you have to wonder with two of them like that. And there's no way either of them's been serviced and nothing been said up to now.

Looks lhey have been fitted by the builder when the house was done up Cropps. Probably anybody servicing it has never bothered to look which is very worrying.

Does raise an interesting question though that I might ask in another thread. How much have the regs changed in 15-20 years, and what was accepted then that would be deemed AR or ID now?
I'll bang a link in in a minute.

It was never allowed to be installed like that.
This is what it says in the BS
Where two or more vertical fanned draught chimney configurations
terminate in close proximity at the same height, they shall be separated
by at least 300 mm. Where any one vertical outlet is more than 300 mm
above the other, then they shall be separated by at least 1 500 mm.
Where any vertical fanned draught chimney configuration outlets is
within 2 000 mm measured horizontally of an opening window, then it
shall be at least 300 mm above the opening.
