Don’t blame u , Looks like they shut the air down to much or altered the nozzle pressure
Fingers crossed they’ve resolved it very quickly , bet the engineer will have fun cleaning that mess out
Hope it all gets sorted out asap before it starts leaving soot everywhere indoors
As a side note and hope u don’t mind me mentioning , is that filter above a water drain plse and looks like they’ve just rested the flue cage over the flue , plus get them to extend the pressure relief down the wall to save ur paint , shame they couldn’t have moved the oil lines further away from the flue , hope that doesn’t come across rude in any way
... get them to extend the pressure relief down the wall to save ur paint...
is it the pressure relief or the condensate pipe ?
I extended the relief pipe to above a drain, so I can still see if it's leaking but it doesn't spray everywhere. The condensate pipe goes into the (plastic) internal sink waste, no acid etching and - more importantly - no chance of it freezing in the winter.

Does look like a pressure relief with it returning to the wall but never say never , lol, indeed copper shouldn’t ever be used for condense due to it being acidic
other concerns were the filter above the drain as if it leaks can go straight into drainage , at least they put the KBB after the filter but worse on 35 x second fuelled boilers when filters were near / on the ground due to freezing / waxing
Good call with being able to keep the condense inside , think some of the current regs now require a condense filter before it’s allowed to discharge , but alas been out of the industry a good few years so not up to date with current regs
Also wondering with 2 x copper pipes going through the wall if there’s a tiger loop fitted , luckily can’t see any soldered fittings used on the oil feed pipes
Such a shame when some don’t take any pride in there work as use to see some shocking installs , never forget seeing one terminate his boiler flue into the conservatory and couldn’t understand why I had to shut his boiler down , I kid u not

Surely thats just the Fuel Burning Heater being tested ready for the colder mornings, did you get an Altox fitted whilst they did it Must stop buying shiny toys....
