Ideal logic+ condemned for mixed flue?

[Aire]

Been called to an ideal logic+ 30c that has been condemned. Standard horizontal flue which goes to a plume kit to extend it past the soffit.

Last year I serviced this boiler and this year someone else has been in and condemned it saying it's a mixed flue?

I haven't spoke to the engineer who condemned it but the customer said he had spoke to ideal and they said it should all be plastic.

I don't fit many ideals but the last one I fit was metal outer and plastic inner and that was only about 6 months ago so I'm not entirely sure what going on.

Can anyone elaborate on this?

I would phone ideal and ask them plus get it in writing eg emailed to you

 

[Aire]

I'll have to call them tomorrow as they had closed before I got to the job.

Metal outer and plastic inner
Do they mean the elbow or plume kit isn’t ideal?

 

[Aire]

Elbow and plume kit is ideal. 2 years ago our previous engineer changed the flue because it was an ideal flue that was extended with a baxi flue to take it beyond the soffit. Obviously this was wrong so it was changed to the current flue using a new ideal horizontal flue and soffit kit.
Apparently the engineer who condemned it today said it didn't look right, spoke to ideal who confirmed it should all be plastic and advised him to turn it off and replace.

 

[Aire]

Spoke to ideal and theyve confirmed the flue is fine and that they don't offer an all plastic flue. So no idea what the previous engineer was talking about.

Guess he just didn't like the look of it 🙁

 

[Aire]

Maybe so, not sure why he wouldn't like the look of it though as it is just a standard flue with one of these attached to the end of it.

Maybe he thought it was push fit waste pipe ?

I should of took a pic but it definitely doesn't look like push fit waste.

Don’t have a clue then sorry

 

[Aire]

Maybe trying to poach work by claiming the previous engineers were incompetent. Either that or he's just incompetent himself.

Bet he has never seen one. That’ll be my guess mate.

Quite possible, although the engineers argument was that the flue was metal, not the plastic plume kit. Anyway the customer has been informed their boiler was wrongly condemned and they are getting the engineer back to turn their boiler back on.
