I'm currently renovating our house and as part of that we are installing a new boiler as the old one illegally vented into next door's garden (trespass).
The plan is to terminate the flue going vertically up out of the 1st floor pitched roof. However, because there are large velux windows going in there, my gas engineer and I are really at a loss of what flue we can fit in and meet regs. The 1st velux window starts 700mm down from the roofline, and 600mm in from the edge of the property (it's a terraced house). So we basically have a small area to work with to get the flue out and are struggling to get it sorted! It's a 4 bed house with 2 bathrooms, so needs to be a fairly powerful boiler. To complicate things a little more, it's coming off a fairly long flue run, so that's a factor too!
Any suggestions welcome, I'll be sure to update you with our solution
