Fitting new window near to boiler flue If you want to know how your DIY projects could be affected by building and planning regulations, click here to post questions and view answers

I am hoping to fit a new window to what is to become a utility room. the boiler (a 16 yr. old Saunier Duval combi) is situated in the RH. corner of the far wall. The room has just been partitioned off & has no window & is therefore very dark. There is 2.4 metres of wall between the LH. corner of the room & the boiler. I wish to put in a high level window which will be at a similar height to the flue. What is the minimum distance allowed between the start of the window & the flue? so that I know how wide a window I am allowed to fit.

Hi

You are looking between 300 -600mm if the flue is on the level with the opening window
