Compliance fix
Flue relocation and extension in Bath
Flue terminations too close to a boundary, an opening window, or a neighbour's air brick have to move. In Bath's terraces this is bread-and-butter work — but it needs planning if you're in a conservation area.
For: Homeowners with a non-compliant or awkward flue
What we look at first
Distance to boundaries, distance to openings above, plume direction on the neighbour's side, and whether a horizontal-vertical adapter can turn a problem outlet into a rooftop one.
Included in a flue relocation
- Site survey and compliance measurement
- Manufacturer flue kit ordered to spec
- Plume-management fitted where neighbour angles demand it
- Old flue penetration made good internally and externally
- Building Notice submitted with new outlet noted
Frequently asked
- Do I need consent?
- For a like-for-like relocation on a non-listed elevation, usually no. On a listed elevation or into a shared party wall, yes — we flag it first.
- How long does it take?
- Half a day for a straightforward extension; a full day where the boiler itself has to move to make the flue work.
- Will it improve efficiency?
- Marginally — shorter, straighter flues reduce fan load. The main point is compliance.
