Is my flue dangerous

The filling loop is the braided flexible hose that fits between the cold main and the heating return pipe under the boiler.
It should have 2 isolating valves, the non return valve should be on the cold main side and the flexible hose disconnected unless the system is being filled/topped up. The quality loops have end caps to prevent accidental leaks if the valves are meddled with.

Thanks.
Some people asked me what was my boiler type.
I posted a reply with my make and model.
There has been conflicting information in the replies of which I am unable to conclude which are the correct answers.

Going back to the original question .Providing the appliance is working right the products of combustion are water vapor and carbon dioxide not monoxide which as we all know is lethal. It is not ideal that it occasionally comes back in through window but providing boiler is set up and working correctly it`s not going to do you any harm.
As for the distance from flue terminal to a raised non-combustible surface ie the brick wall in your photo most new worcesters state 500mm . But some manufacturers never used to have this distance in there instructions and have been adding them over the past few years as roof termination becomes more popular. There is talk of roof termination becoming compulsory with the obvious exemptions.

eh yeah
Thanks a lot for your advice and taking the time to reply.
Would a Carbon Monoxide detector help up in the loft just in case the boiler developed a fault? Would one be affective if it is blown through the window?
Thanks.

A CO detector is never a bad idea get the battery type with audible alaram cost about twenty quid .
