Does anyone know what the regulations are concerning these issues as I
would like to know where I stand before I confront him.


Building regs approved document J - link below.

From my understanding a boiler flue must be at least 600mm away from a
facing boundary. Therefore if his wall (through which the flue projects)
forms the boundary then this arrangement is not acceptable - speak to
Building Control Officer at the local council.

Perhaps your best bet might be to take some measurements and/or pictures
and then get the local BCO to have a look at them, and see if he reckons
any wrongdoings been dun.

Much cheaper and far less bother then falling out unnecessarily with a
neighbour and lining the plush pockets of me 'learned friends
