My parents suffer a similar problem with their neighbours condensing
boiler venting near their back door. All flues and pipes are within the
neighbours property but in the winter it splutters water and steam that
causes everything by the back door to be covered in a layer of ice. Not
nice.

They have had a word, but the neighbour is an grade one a*se, who says
its not his problem.

can they not erect a barrier so that the ventings remain on the
neighbour's property?

They did put a plastic sheet in the way screwed to top of the fence, but
looked unsightly and got dirty very quickly. I think they are just going to
live with it as it is only once or twice a year, when it is cold for a long
time and you want to get into the back garden it is a problem.

Tell them to contact the local council.

Quite, you cannot discharge anything onto a neighbours property.

Please replace YYYY with the current year

They did have a word, but the girls father is somebody high up in Council
planning who got someone to look at it, decided the outlet pipes are greater
then 600mm from boundary so therefore is not a problem !!!

If the discharge from the neighbours flue causes ice to form on a footpath,
doesn't this present a health and safety issue?

I recall a few years back someone here had a condensing boiler
discharging condensate over their conservatory. At some point,
a 4' icicle came smashing through the conservatory roof.

AIUI that's why the current ones have a urinal style syphonic trap that
discharges a whole load of water in one go rather than a drip, drip,
drip which is liable to freeze up.

If they were my parents it wouldn't happen twice. Arseholes will only be
arseholes until someone wipes their botties.

An uncanny series of accidents might help him see better.

Building Control said take it up with the gas registered engineer who
installed it. Gas Safe have guidelines for flume installation and that is
what they are, guidelines not regulations. They say in their document that
their guidelines can not be enforced. Therefore, it seems, people are free to
place pipes over other peoples boundary so long as the gas pipes have been
fitted by a gas registered engineer and the council will say all is ok. The
only way is go through the courts either on a nuisance case, trespass or
inability to build on your own land. Costly and no guarantee the pipes will be
moved. Such a weird system. Building regulations and Gas safe have no powers
where a flume is placed. Build Control Officer don't want to get involved in
boundary disputes. My point is should nt they not allow people to place pipes
on private land? how is that safe? When someone wants to build on their own
land all adjacent pipes that emit fumes and steam will hit the boundary wall.
Confused and perplexed. I would never do this to anyone. Its so petty.

Would you not ask the neighbours? After all its polite is it not?
I used to go for long walks, but to get to the fields here was a public
footpath alongside some new build housing. One day, I hit my head on
something, and it was a pipe, with a kind of baffle over it poking out of
the side wall of the house on the end.It was obviously a flue of some kind.
I pointed it out to the council. What did they do? Got the homeowner to
paint it bright yellow.
What can one say?
Bah Humbug.

unfortunately the building regs allow a limited amount of openings on a
boundary and people have used this to have flues on the boundary...I
would just stick a fence against it.....your right to do so under 2m
high ....
