Flue Location.. Is it a Balcony, a Car Port or a Soffitt?

[Old UKPF 105155]

Hi. I'm new to all this, and not sure it's appropriate,

so be gentle with me.
This flue is to my newly fitted replacement Ideal Logic Max boiler. The position is the same as it was with my old boiler. I have been told in the past that it was incorrect, but my fitter has assured me it is now OK with this plume kit. It certainly seems OK, and the plume directs away from the door nicely. I realise it's not a Balcony, a Car Port or a Soffitt, but reading the guidelines I'm not too sure it's right. I obviously don't want any problems with Ideal if a warranty claim is ever required.
Any advice, reassurance would be appreciated. Thanks

Does not look right to me. Can we have a picture from further back please.

Edit as spelling error

I was going to say can we see what’s above it

OK, have uploaded one

I'd condemn it 😀

Definitely not right to me. But cannot see much in the Manufacturer’s Instructions. Cannot even see a flue locations drawing and table. I would say needs changing. Is that passage a public right of way? Or just to your house?

It’s going to be one of those grey areas

Maybe. I am just waiting for the OP response before saying anything else.

Totally agree mate, I just don’t understand why some engineers force an install in sometimes why make it difficult or run the risk of someone telling you to change it

Just my house. I'm finding the flue location drawings very confusing.
Changing in what way. The Boiler / flue location, on just the plume kit?

Manufacturers call this one .

If it were me, I would extend the flue to above the roofline above and point the flue terminal towards the neighbouring property or back towards the tiled roof.
I would have the terminal a minimum of 500mm above the tiled roof.

Tricky and grey area, but I would do this as a minimum to at least attempt to get the plume away from the entrance.

You would need to speak to ideal, but I would come out the wall with an elbow and an horizontal flue extension. Then the terminal and plume management kit, so that it clears that low roof. Making sure that the flue is correctly supported. I wouldn’t go vertical. There looks like that there could be boundary issues. This is just an idea and would need to be checked by ideal first as not sure there standard flue can be used externally.

I suggested taking the plume kit up through the false ceiling, and 90' through the back. I'm guessing it's not allowed to box in the elbow though.

Defo NO

I wouldn’t do that mate

Annoying thing is, shifting the boiler wasn't a massive issue, but fitter insisted this option would be OK, and much cheaper. Now What though? Fork out for more plume kit, or a days work to resite the boiler?

This isn’t just extra plume kit mate

Thanks. How would you suggest I approach this. Should I speak to Ideal Myself, or insist my fitter gets the OK from them(or otherwise) before I pay?
