flue

Hello everyone, hope you are all good. I’m having a problem extending the horizontal flue. I have built an extension and want to extend the horizontal flue by 4m. The boiler is a Baxi NetaTec 33GA and in the specs it says a 60/100 flue length up to 10m with a deduction of 1m per 93 degree bend...

Hi, I have a Worcester green Star combi 30si. The component which I believe is the flue going outside the garage from boiler has a leak at two of the joints as you can possibly see in the attached pic. Simple question, is this a DIY'able fix or is it compulsory for this to be seen to by a...

I have installed a hit and miss vent in the kitchen chimney breast as the flue is uncapped and we were getting a minor efflorescence on the plaster. Unfortunately I still can't get an airflow so presume the soot and rubble in there is blocking any movement of air and is probably just absorbing...

So monday when i came home from work and found the (cowl cover / rain plate ?) had been blown off by the wind. what are my options? can i get the cover sparately.

Just had an oil-fired boiler removed which was served by a stainless flue liner running up through a brick chimney which won't be used again. There's currently no chimney ventilation apart from the liner itself which is still open at the cowl. The liner at the bottom is actually mortared around...

Hi, We bought a new Barratt Home in 2007 and haven't modified the boiler or its boxing since then however today an engineer has refused to service it saying its boxing and exposed pipe is illegal (boxing above boiler and pipe to side - photo attached). The boiler has been serviced each year...

I'm in the process of buying a property. The legal process is currently going on. Neighbor was doing the two floor extension over their garage when we put the offer for buying the property next to them (left side). We just went for the second viewing recently and noticed that their extension has...

Hello, Having some roof work done. Scaffolds are up so looking (in addition to various work on the roof) to get a liner put in my front chimney by the roofers. It will be a single skin liner for a gas fire. Won’t be used for other fuel types. The old Gas fire was disconnected before I bought...

I live in a relatively new house, circa 1990, and wish to install a wood burning stove into the lounge. As the house does not have a chimney a double lined aluminium chimney needs to go out then up the external wall at the side of the house (above my land). I've spent ages googling and...

Hello. I’m about to rent out my house so need a landlord cert on the boiler. Combi boiler was installed around 2001 with vertical flue according to manufacturers instructions. The required minimum distance from adjacent wall was only 210mm (see pics). Do I need to move the flue or boiler to...

My local building control are happy for me to install my own woodburning stove, and they'll sign it off within their fee - provided it meets regs. So, I've designed it, but will it pass? Here's my design, any thoughts, constructive criticism or total freakouts from knowledgable DIY'ers or pros...

hi i am looking for some help if anyone can last night our central heating was on and i got woken up in the night with our flue dripping water along the full length of it never done this before any ideas please. the flue is about 2 meters long inside before it goes out the wall and is above our...

I'm putting in another wood burner in (this time in the kitchen) and have a question regarding the stove flue pipe. I only have a very shallow depth up the chimney flue (9 1/2") for the stove flue to go into. Structurally, would there be problems if the cast iron flue from the stove was say 2"...

Have recently moved into a different house and the boiler is leaking water down the vertical flue. the boiler is a vokera mynute he 35 system boiler. When it rains really heavy the water drips from the flue and down onto the condensing heat exchanger and into the bottom of the boiler. it has...

I've got a prime case of Gas Safe pointing to Building Regs and Building Regs pointing to Gas Safe. And a gas fitter (and me) stuck in the middle. I have a domestic combi boiler, fitted donkey's years ago. The flue went out through our wall that is alongside the neighbour's garden. It vents...

Hi, I'm fitting a conventional flue gas fireplace with a 125mm (5") flue liner, however I have a clay chimney terminal which has a 180 (7") spigot on it which I need to connect on to. There seem to be various different types of adaptors available but I'm not exactly sure which one is...

I have a Pre-Cast Flue with a gas fire, and a ridge / tile vent on the roof. The property is not insulated at the moment and I am looking to get the cavity wall and loft insulated. (hopefully for free via a grant) The wall upstairs above the fireplace can get fairly hot to the touch if the fire...

Just had a guy call to fit smart meters, whilst fitting the new gas meter he said my boiler flue doesn't comply with the regs and he should really turn it off. His issue (I think) was that a 60 deg bend in the flue occurs less than 600m from where it enters the boiler. The boiler is an old floor...

have a dated gas boiler, which heats the central heating AND hot water (works fine BTW). Unfortunately the flue exits approx. waist height, straight out into the path of my workshop door. Sending hot air (not a bad thing when its cold) and fumes (not a good thing at all!) when it kicks in early...

I live in a top floor flat and the building has a flat roof. The kitchen hood and bathroom extractor fan flues both go straight up through the roof. Last year around November water started dripping down the outside of both the kitchen hood flue (soaking wooden cabinets) and from where the...
