My neighbour is having an extension built and it may affect the safety of my appliances flue. What should I do?
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and Building Regulations require flues to be installed in a safe position at specified distances from the boundary, however there might be installations that do not comply but still operate safely. Ideally neighbours, builders and householders should consider this issue and consult before commencing work. The Department of Communities and Local Government has published an explanatory booklet on this offering more advice. If you are still concerned then get a Gas Safe Registered engineer to examine the flue.
