Neighbours bathroom drainage pipe placed above central heating exhaust

[DaveAF]

Hi

We live in a terraced house.

Our neighbours have replaced their original metal exterior drainage pipes from bathroom and toilet with plastic pipes that are just above their central heating boiler flue.

 

Is this safe? 

See photos. 

 

All thoughts welcome. 

Regards

It all looks fine.  The vent pipe needs to extend up further.  What is it to you?

Just a bit concerned as i saw water pouring down the big pipe from a bad seal at the corner and into the flue. But I will take your word for it, there's nothing for anyone to worry about.

Clearly a poor DIY job, wrong fitting used to go round the external corner for instance, and leaking joints suggests torn seals at the joints as they did not know whet they were doing.

 

But not your problem?

Boiler flues are either fitted to a fall or have a built in fall, so there should not be an issue with water getting into the boiler this way.  The soil pipework looks a right bodge, but perhaps it is work in progress and hopefully gets properly finished, filled and painted as it looks an eyesore from your side.
