Hmmm...Extension built, now the exhaust from the Worcester boiler steams the bedroom window up. Also, I wouldn't like to have the window open.
So, a plume management kit looks like the thing to do.
Any thoughts on fitting this myself? If I follow the guidance on max length, number of bends etc, any pitfalls? Certain death etc?
Your thoughts would be welcome.

If you follow the (pretty simple) guidelines you should be OK. I guess
perhaps if you have funny eddies around your building because of unusual
geometry you might want to move it a bit further than the standard
minimum distance? Mine is legal but not far from the window, and I have
never seen any sign of misting.

Pay particular attention to making sure the inner seats in the socket
sections correctly and does not dislodge any seals as you push them in
(it helps to chamfer the edges). Also make sure you screw through the
sections to join them when instructed to make sure they can't separate.
Less of a problem outside than with internal flue joints, but still very
well worth getting right ;-)
