Nope just pointing a potential issue out if he was to get inspected.
Last thing he needs is a defect on his 1st install while on probation.

To be honest with you I didn't put a fire stop in. I've never seen a single boiler fitted in all my time in Lincoln that has one or that is sealed. I guess it depends on the inspector. If he looks over the whole installation by the book he is going to find fault in my work. Is it safe though? I would certainly argue that it is. At the end of the day it's all very academic - if they find faults and he doesn't let me back in to fix them that's the end of it!

It doesnt make it right tho..
But I wouldnt presume all inspectors are gonna be so understanding on balance some will be fine and others could be a pain.
The best way is to install by the book from day 1.
I have lost count of how many i see without earthing near the meter outlet or incorrect condensate or leccy wires trailing gas pipes - but i don't think ill do the same and nor should others.
The regs clearly state should be firestopped but that doesnt look sealed anyway. but i dont want to upset anyone so ill shut up and keep my opinion to myself
