Gap around boiler flue

[DrWho]

No, not at all.

Why on earth would they have left it like that?

Just going back to the early images for internal flue, Do you really think and to pinpoint that caulk will be best for the internal flue to plasterboard wall as per my internal picture?

Is this normally a painters job, who normally looks after dents on walls etc reason why I ask this.

NO, you pull the weather collar forward and seal the gap behind it , kinda thought you were not understanding what needs to be done

So it probably is sealed, sorry, I thought I'd see the sealant but obviously not.

I really have no idea. It is a simple fix, don't worry about it. Speak to the builders(?) in the first instance and ask for it to be repaired. Let them deal with it.

Don't use foam as it makes it nearly impossible to remove flue in future if boiler needs it off for repair.

Wouldn't sand/cement mortar be equally hard to remove?

That option was internal not external.
