Just had a visit from a plumber to quote for new boiler. He ruled out
the location where I was planning to put it, under a single story
pitched roof with vent through the roof. He said that the latest
regulations say it's got to be 2 metres from a boundary (boiler would
be on party wall so no chance with Worcester 35 Cdi as planned) and
that the window above the roof is too close. 2002 building regs say a
fanned flue doesn't have to be more than 300mm from a boundary or a
window, even 600mm should be achievable so I'm a bit perplexed where
he's got these distances from. Anyone have any ideas? The only real
alternative location is in the loft and I'm a bit concerned about the
noise and long DHW pipe run.


Where does he get the 2m from?

diagram 3.4 says its 600mm when facing the boundary (dimension J)
Get another plumber.
