I have moved into the property approx 8 yrs ago, nothing was picked up on the survey and my solicitor didn't advise me to get a boiler report.
As with most things though, I suppose new regs bring new problems that weren't initially there years ago.
I have had a new flat roof fitted around 4 years ago. He also fitted the facia panel in the same place. The gap from the bottom of the flue to the door opening is only 100mm.
I am guessing a main problem that this must not be done is as my combi boiler has an aluminium inner flue, others use plastic with rubber seals which will just get far too hot and perish causing all sorts of unwanted and possibly dangerous problems.
PS I had removed the flue cone on the pics to measure diameter size of internal flue.
