Supporting a Flue

[nathanhu11]

Hello,

Was hoping someone could help. I have been advised that I have an unsupported Flue coming from my boiler and the gas man advised that I need to support it... and said that I could find out how to do that online.

I have scoured Google and cannot find any decent instructions.

Is there anyone out there that could give me any advice on how to support a Flue?

Many thanks

Is this an industrial flue about 100 feet high?

If you had a gasman who could not/would not tell you how to support a flue my advice would be get another gasman.

Perhaps he was not being paid to advise on supporting flues?

The fact is he did not. I know that I can get flue brackets from any trade/DIY retailer, but my query would be, is there a wrong way to go it?

The flue comes out ot the top of the boiler, takes a 45 degree turn for a matter of inches and then straightens up and goes straight up through the loft and out. Is there any key points in the flue that require support?

Any decent merchant will sell flue brackets.

No wrong way to fit them to be honest. Quite self-explanatory.
