Thanks for the reply. So, to be sure, only condensing boilers can be purchased now AND they can have up to 20m flues ?
So, I could replace it in the current location, inside an old cooking chimney area with up to a 20m flue.
Can you tell me - what sort of boiler is this one ...
** Vaillant VCW Gas, internally flued, approx 20 years old **
We've recently had it serviced, including having the heat exchanger fins removed & washed clean of debris. A new thermocoupler was installed too. It then worked fine for approx 3 weeks.
Now it just shuts itself off...
