This summer I had a new gas boiler installation in an airing cupboard

and not bothered to put most of it back properly.

Are there any regulations about how close to gas flue pipes loft
insulation can be?

The flue pipe is plastic so presumably gets nothing more than warm.

The only rule regarding flues I'm aware of is they must be separated
from (combustible) timber by 75mm of air, or 25mm of incombustible
material. I wasn't aware of any requirements where the flue is buried in
insulation.
