I have a Glow Worm Hideaway boiler in the basement with a balanced flue, but work to the outside of the house means the flue now exits in a confined area slighly below the new floor level. Does anyone know if there is a conversion kit to change it to a conventional flue which I can fix to the outside wall?

I'm sorry, even if the parts were available the cost would be enormous, and I doubt you have thought this through properly. new boiler time in my opinion.
External conventional flues = condensation without properly insulated (expensive) pipe, which has to be taken above the roof line etc.

No you cant convert it to Conventional flue, you need a new boiler

Please tell me this is a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its no joke what you have done is not just dangerous its highly dangerous.
You are putting your self and familly at great risk.
Whoever built over the boiler flue has broken the gas safety istalation and use regulations and if someone is injured or killed is liable for a manslaughter charge.
please get a qualified gas engineer out asap before you become another statistic.

As said who built over it should know better so I'm assuming you did it yourself or employed someone who arrived on a horse.
You need a new boiler.
You have created a very serious hazard
Why did it not occur to you that building a room over a flue was a bad idea?
How has extending the exhaust solved the problem?
Perhaps you could extend the exhaust into your own mouth and connect the air intake to your arse this would at the very least make the world a safer place
