Installing new boiler in cupboard on outside wall

[potterton678]

OK, so I was thinking the flue would come out the front of the cupboard, through a fixed panel above the door - that way it's kept clear of the wall, and away from the plastic wastepipes which run above where the cupboard will be.

I thought that with a modern roofing material like EPDM it wasn't necessary to also fit a separate lead flashing - is that not right?

I also wanted to ask, do you think it's a good idea to design a backless shed, so the boiler is mounted directly on the brickwork, as is the frame of the shed itself (with layer of silicone inbetween), rather than having a timber rear panel which would require a layer of Supalux between it and the boiler?

Many thanks for your wisdom...

How did you get on with this? Sounds similar to a boiler installed in a loft.
