Glad I found a decent engineer and not someone more interested in lining their pockets whilst destroying credibility of other decent trades people. The others might have had a quick buck out of me, but this new guy will have my trade for life. Out of this he has now gained 2 boiler services and...

I finally got someone to look at it and the Flue was at fault. The installer had damaged the seal on the elbow joint of the flue. The inner flue pipe had been cut roughly and not cleaned up before push fitting it. It was probably made worse when the site builder had come back out to level it...

I checked the outer flue and it is level. I will have to get someone else out to advise and look at it. I don't think it is right that I should have to put up with that much water coming in. The flue may be faulty as I had water coming in about 6 months after I moved in and the site developers...

I'll figure something out thanks No rain so no water tonight. It looks like I am going to have to invest in work on the flue either a repair or replacement - at least I know the boiler itself isn't leaking.

Thanks @Agile I'll get my ladders out on the weekend and have a go at getting a level on it. I'll let you know.

Sorry I don't have an answer, but I have noticed that Windows 10 has some very strange anomalies when it comes to accessing networked computers and drives. I have had issues where NAS drives appear in Win explorer, but do not appear when trying to access the same NAS within a program. Can you...

Thanks again all I really appreciate the time taken to look at this. The better armed I am with impartial views the better idea if the next engineer is stringing me along. @Agile The water leaks out at a rear corner where there is a small hole in the fold of the casing. Fortunately, I can get a...

Thank you all for the responses so far. @Agile - No fear that I will be conducting any work on the flue or boiler, I know that is something that I cannot touch, hence why asking if there was anything I could do legally. I know that I shouldn't open the casing and I haven't. It was the last...

Is there a legal and gas safe weather shield that can be fitted in front of a horizontal flue pipe (fitted 2012) to stop wind blowing rain into the boiler housing? I have looked on-line, but can't seem to find an answer. Whenever the blowing rain hits within a certain arc I have to put a jug...
