Gas fire flue and door

[mark1a]

Hey guys my parents have moved in to a property with a already condemned gas fire. They assumed it was just the fire. They were looking at some in a showroom and dad was showing pics to where the gas fire was to go and also the flue. The saleswomen pointed out that the flue was too close to the porch and not up to today's regs. I've asked my parents what the distance of flue to door is and it's 10 inches. Could someone with some knowledge clarify if it's ok or not? Also I thought of having a metal pipe taking it to the roof level.


Thanks

What boiler is it? Forget the metal pipe idea.
