My old floor-standing Potterton Kingfisher II has been replaced by a wall-mounted condensing boiler with it's own flue. I now have a 'redundant' flue. It was a flexible tube which is inside a brick chimney passing up through the roof. As the photo shows, the short length which connected it to the old boiler, has been disconnected.
Should I seal it at the chimney and if so, can I just cut a concrete slab to size and cement it on or should I take down the chimney ?
Where it comes into the boiler-room, should it be sealed or should I put a grille or similar in place for ventilation ?
I would like to remove it entirely from the boiler-room but I suppose that if I start to chop away the bricks, the whole chimney could come down on me.
Can anybody help please, this must be a common problem as the old boilers are replaced . Am I correct in asking on this forum or should I be asking on 'Building' ? View media item 18089 View media item 18089
