Shame on you lot. The man makes an effort to adapt a perfectly good boiler to the new situation, showing that he is consciencious but all you do is slag him off.
Probably just trying to flog him a new boiler.
Email me a couple of piccies, mate, and I'll be happy to advise you.

You've all jumped to the wrong conclusion. The flue exits onto an outside wall where old steps had been built down to the back garden. Previous owners had blocked off these steps at the bottom which left the steps leading to a dead end. I filled in the steps and concreted over, but built a 3-sided retaining wall around the flue, which was then slightly below ground level, but still open to outside. I knew this would compromise the working of the boiler as burnt gas fumes would be sucked back in by the clean air intake. Consequently the boiler wouldn't work properly. That's why I wanted to replace the balanced flue with a conventional flue. We don't have any money to spend on a new boiler - none at all, so I've extended the exhaust part of the balanced flue up and out of where the flue is which now allows the burnt gas to escape safely and allows clean fresh air to be drawn in to feed the boiler and it works perfectly. There's no fumes re-entering the house. I might just upload a picture for you all to see. I appreciate the genuine concern from all of you.

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?

lol. fook me . are you taking drugs? thats a serious qustion

That's still wrong, dangerous and illegal.

If you knew it would compromise the boiler and don't have any money why build the footing walls?

You've illegally modified a gas appliance, your house and life insurance are void for one, 2 I doubt you'll live longer than a week or 2, and 3 you obviously have no desire to live
